Ultima Online Travelogues

Hail fellow adventurer! In this section you will find hundreds of stories and screenshots of real Ultima Online Adventures. The adventures start in 1997 when the game Ultima Online was released. I experienced many things in Britannia before I decided to take a break from the game in 2001. The break lasted until 2007. In December 2007 I finally decided to re-activate my Ultima Online account and go on adventures in Sosoria again. The stories are divided into two parts:

   

Join me on my adventures and read lots of funny, exciting and interesting stories about adventures, battles, dungeons, friendship, honor, deceit and compassion!

Prologue (December 1997)

Mad Biker shaded his eyes, and looked around. The bright sand stones of Trinsic reflected the burning sun beams back into his face. Not exactly knowing what to do, he looked around and examined the buildings and wordlessly passing peasants. Someone had told him, that the most important thing was, to get a weapon and start to train one's skills. But where should he go? He chose the road to the south, and strolled past the high protection walls of Trinsic. He soon reached a building, which was rather crowded. Someone dropped an axe on the floor, so Mad Biker picked it up, happy to get a powerful weapon for free. Time to make the first steps out of town!

Equipped with a tailoring set and his new weapon he tried to find the city gate which would lead into the unknown wilderness. After searching for quite some time (this town was really big!), he finally passed a doorway and crossed a small stone bridge on the southern walls of Trinsic. A voice warned him, that he just had left the protection of Lord British's guards. Now he just had to find some animals, to train fighting and tailoring. But what beast should he start with?

Carefully Mad Biker sneaked through the woods, the fiction of evil monsters and murderers in his mind. He had heard a lot of stories about the dangers in the wilderness, and his heart was beating at every sound he heard and every at movement he saw in the dense woods.

Finally he  tracked down a dog, and decided that this would be the right creature to try his new battle axe on. With astonishment he noticed, that he missed almost with every hit, and the lousy dog had almost killed him. While he was running away, Mad Biker thought that all this was more difficult than he had expected. He would need some counsel about how to proceed faster.

Thanks to the advise of a friend, Mad Biker soon was wearing some leather armor, and his swordsmanship skill allowed him even to kill dogs and sheep. Slowly but steadily he was improving. He was getting more and more curious about this strange world of Britannia. His thirst for adventure, fame and wealth soon made him pack up his equipment and leave the save town for a long hike...
