"Ultima Online™ is proud to announce a new service to it's valued customers:
UO Plus™.
Tired of lag and sluggish login servers? Bothered by petty bugs? Do you want
fast, courteous and relevant service from our Game Masters? Look no further,
a new age has arrived: UO Plus™. For a mere $14.95 each month you can have
you account upgraded to Plus™ status. The process is quick and easy, you can
upgrade you account to UO Plus™ in your account management dialogue right
now!
Are you with us? If not, read on for further details of the service:
As a UO Plus™ player, servers will automatically give priority to your
client. Lag as you know it will be history. As an added bonus, the login
servers will roll out the red carpet for you and instantly connect you to
the shard of your choice. Say goodbye to those pesky “there is some problem
communicating with ORIGIN” messages!
UO Plus will be able to download special patches that will dispatch of bugs,
large and small approximately 6 months before they are made available to
players with normal account status. UO Plus™ players will be able to access
a special area on our website where polls will be posted as to which bugs
should be adressed first. As if that was not enough, you will have access to
a forum where you can report bugs - and we will actually read your messages!
The management of Game Master will be changed so any calls UO Plus™ members
place will automatically be bumped to the top. All Game Masters serving UO
Plus™ players has to complete a training programme, including sensitivity
training, common sense, courtesy and more! Game Masters that do not pass a
final service exam, will serve our customers with non upgraded accounts.
We are excited to announce that the UO Plus™ programme will be coordinated
with the UO Power-UP service! All ready made characters bought by a UO Plus™
player will automatically be given looting rights to any monster over any
non UO Plus™ player. In addition, we are planning to tweak the code for
champion scroll, our popular BOD and item enhancement systems so that
success rates for UO Plus™ players are dramatically increased. As a UO Plus™
player you will be able to carry the day and dominate your more skilled
co-fellow players that lack your account status.
This is only the beginning; we are even now planning more exciting features
that will be added over time. Don't wait, join the premiere ranks of
players. Now you have what it takes; just upgrade you account to UO Plus
status today!
While we are extremely pleased to offer this exciting new service, including
a few firsts in UO history, (Courteous and Helpful Game Masters for
instance), we will continue to serve all non upgraded customers exactly the
same as we have until now. We still have plenty of the same old lag you are
so used to. Of course bugs will still be largely ignored and fixed every now
and then. Our feature where you can report bugs to your hearts content while
we ignore your e-mails is still available. And all those coarse, confusing
and down right heavy handed Game Masters will continue to cow you into
submission, when they are not outright ignoring you.
