This is what is written on "Terms and Conditions" for UO

[code:1]
Ultima Online has been designed by Origin Systems for play only on the Service. The Software is licensed to you for play on the Service only. Origin does not grant you a license to use the Software for any other purpose. You agree to play Ultima Online only on the Service and not through any other means. You further agree not to create or provide any other means through which others may play Ultima Online, for example, through server emulators.[/code:1]

We're all fucked then :shock:

yah i knew but since were not held to there toerms and conditions because were not members it could mean jack shit to neone else not paying for uo with origin

**psz** · 10-09-2003, 08:36 AM

It's terms and conditions, NOT an end user agreement. The ONLY thing they can do is cancel your OSI account.

That's been in there for YEARS now.

Bleh. What are they going to do...shut down all emulators and arrest us for using it...even when we are memebrs? ha! there are some things osi can get away with...just not with this.

Why would they arrest us and cancle our Accounts or ban us? If we're paying, they're happy. 8)

All EA cares about is the money. As long as they get enough of it, they don't care.

mmmm ok, i guess you guys are right... :?

qweazdak · 10-09-2003, 03:08 PM

They're not going to shut down the emulators. I remember reading somewhere that the emulators actually helped them because it keeps interest in UO and sales continue.

Exactly.

Yea i suppose that would be right seeing as how you have to have uo downloaded on your computer to play playerran shards any way

It's kinda funny how there's always SOME person every 4-6 months who makes this amazing discovery.

LordMerlix · 10-20-2003, 08:14 AM

lucky me, I get to lock it every time it comes up

Like Tim said this topic comes up very frequently seems more like every 6-8 weeks someone questions to the legalities of RunUO. do a search and you will find plenty of threads on this.
