The Stygian Abyss Client (nicknamed the "Enhanced Client") was developed for the Stygian Abyss expansion. It went into open beta on July 17. 2009[1]. The client was previously called Kingdom Reborn. The name was changed to retire the negative image the client had during its rocky release. It is currently in open beta.

Several custom user-interfaces are released by the players. The most popular one amongst these is Pinco's UI.

Features

Hotbars - A new interface feature common in most mmos today
Customizable Interface - Allows players to use skins which can change many interface aspects
New Landscapes - Detailed and varying ground cover
New Models - Creatures are more detailed
New container views - Options for grid, list or legacy containers
Zoom - Zoom out or in to see more of the playfield
Build in map - The Enhanced Client has a build in map (Works like UO Automap / UOCartographer)
Resizeable playarea - Tired of all the black space on your 24" monitor? Resize the playarea to fit your needs

Enhanced client with Copper Enhanced Mod and regular zoom settings (screenshot:50% size).

Installation

Official Download

The install file only contains the patching software. When installed, the patcher will automatically download the most recent game files. On some systems it can take up to a couple minutes for the patcher window to appear while it is updating.

After install the client will automatically adjust to optimal graphic settings for your system configuration. Upon launch it will also attempt to import macros from the 2D Client if available.
