Credits & Acknowledgments

The client is built on the ClassicUO open-source client for Ultima Online. My deepest thanks to Karasho and the entire ClassicUO community for creating a modern, open-source client that has breathed new life into Ultima Online. Their incredible work allows classic shards like ours to thrive with modern technology while preserving the authentic experience we all cherish.

The server is powered by ModernUO, a high-performance, cross-platform server emulator. Special thanks to Kamron and all who've contributed to ModernUO for their approach to UO server architecture, bringing modern development practices and significant performance improvements to Ultima Online server technology.

I'm grateful to the many talented artists who have contributed to the UO community over the years. These artists and many others have helped extend UO's visual landscape beyond its original boundaries.

• MrRiots - Direct server map customizations & item designs Server Contributor
• DRC1K & Archin - Custom items
• The UO-Pixel team - Comprehensive art resources and tools
• The Mapmaker's Guild - Discord community focused on UO art and design

Some of the art assets used in our shard come from old community archives, forums, and collections where the original creators are unknown or uncredited. We've made every effort to acknowledge artists where possible, and we're grateful to these anonymous contributors whose work continues to enhance the UO experience. If you recognize uncredited work as your own or otherwise, please contact us so we can properly attribute it.

Thanks to those alpha testers who worked with me during the earliest stages of development in 2023, providing crucial feedback when the shard was at its most experimental phase.

The beta testing team spent many hours helping to find bugs, suggesting improvements, and helping polish the game experience before go-live.

The ServUO Community has been an invaluable resource for all us UO dreamers. Their forums, resources, and shared code examples have been essential references during the development process.

UOGuide has been an invaluable resource for preserving knowledge about Ultima Online systems and mechanics. The detailed documentation continues to serve as an essential reference for players and developers alike.

While no longer active, the archived information from Stratics has been critical in recreating many aspects of New Dawn.

Many now-abandoned websites and forums contained valuable information about UO mechanics and history. We've used these archived resources to help recreate and enhance authentic gameplay experiences.

Special thanks to all the custom shards that re-imagined classic UO eras, explored new lands beyond Britannia, and pushed the boundaries of what seemed possible within the UO framework. Their innovative approaches to gameplay mechanics, custom content, and community building has been a source of inspiration.
