UO Phoenix

Type: Ultima Online Private Server
Website: uo-phoenix.com

UO Phoenix is a custom Felucca only shard rooted in classic Ultima Online, drawing on the T2A and Renaissance era with years of balance work layered on top. There is no Trammel and no safe instancing, so player versus monster and player versus player content happen in the same spaces under the same rules everywhere. The shard leans toward deep systems and constant events rather than fast progression cycles, and it explicitly avoids inflated stats, macro reliance and pay to win structures. Meaningful long term progression is the stated design goal, which shows in the way its custom tracks are built to be worked at rather than rushed.

Phoenix is built on the Second Age and Renaissance era of Ultima Online and runs a true Felucca ruleset with no safe zones anywhere in the world.
