Ultima: Ascension

This page contains links relating to Ultima: Ascension. It is a subcategory of the Ages of the Guardian Page, separated in the interest of space and ease of reading. With UA now available, 'tis likely that sites relating to it will be of interest to the casual searcher.

This page is broken up into separate sections to make it easier to find information. The first is the Official Pages run by Origin, the next is the News Section, listing those sites which once had regularly updated UA news or information, the third is to pages with reviews and thoughts about U9, the forth to the essential tips on getting the game to run, useful or interesting information. Following that is a listing of the sites with detailed information, then the other sites with somewhat less data. Previews and Interviews follow next, and after them are the Non-English sites. The final section is to links based around the E3 previews.(Note that a few pages may be listed in more than one category).

Official Pages

The official Origin/EA sponsored pages are long gone. Be warned - since EA let the domain name lapse, a cybersquatter has been maintaining a fake copy of the Ascension site at www.ultima-ascension.com. It is a very bad idea to download anything from there.

UA News Sites

These sites were regularly updated with information released by Origin. Some are still good places to look for U9 information

Neocryte's --==Ultima IX: Ascension==--

One of the old UA news and info sites.
