What is the RunUO Server?

RunUO is unlike any alternative out there for a multitude of reasons.  Most of the alternatives to RunUO refer to themselves as emulators but we consider RunUO to be a server software package.  To us we do not emulate anything, we create a feature rich game server with an Ultima Online gaming layer applied to it.  It is theoretically possible to do nearly anything you want with our server package because of its customization features.  You will find a few different terms used when discussing our software.

Many of our members refer to RunUO as having a core and scripts.  The core is a open source application which reads in the scripts that tell us how to handle certain aspects of the game, such as the rules and game play.  While our game instructions are called "scripts" they really are not scripts, they are composed of an actual programming language called C# (pronounced "see sharp").  Using a full blown programming language for our "scripts" gives us nearly limitless possibilities for RunUO. 

The customizations in RunUO really are endless.  We have game servers out there such as UO Divinity which go back to the days when Ultima Online was created, or UO Demise which is a current genre server, striving to keep up with EA Games, all the way to game servers such as OrbZyX who have everything customized from the top to the bottom.

Many people ask why we chose to use the Microsoft .NET platform to create RunUO and the answer to this question is really simple.  The .NET platform provides for rapid development while not sacrificing any speed/power.  The only drawback was the inability to port the software over to other operating systems.  However projects like MONO are working extremely hard to provide a very capable .NET framework for the alternative operating systems.  The RunUO team knows that for a small minority of our users this is important but did not feel that it warranted the utilization of another language for our software.

Where you go with RunUO really is up to you, we provide you all the tools you need to get started as well as a massive community in which you can quickly get nearly any and every question answered as quickly as possible.  Please feel free to give RunUO a shot in your environment be it with just your friends or family or the next server out there with 1500 users online, we look forward to hearing about your success and or fun you've had with our software.

What is PlayUO?

PlayUO also known as Krrios' Client is an Ultima Online client written from the ground up utilizing the .NET framework and Managed DirectX.

What is Razor?

On the cutting edge of Ultima Online game play, Razor offers UO players a chance to enhance and extend game play to enjoy new heights they never thought possible on player run shards. Razor is an Assistant program (similar to the popular UOAssist) for player run Ultima Online shards.

Recently released into open beta, Razor offers features and functionality previously unheard of on unofficial shards. Using flexibility offered by Microsoft's new .NET technology and the time-tested power of C++, Razor automates common tasks and helps track items and statistics to help players save time and maximize their enjoyment.

Razor strives to offer peace of mind to server administrators. Razor is committed to eliminating exploits and helping Developers correct loop holes to ensure free shards can be enjoyed by everyone.
