A publish is a change to a [[Shard]]'s programming to fix bugs or add content. Publishes may or may not be announced by the development team, depending on the type. A major game update will always be announced (IE: Publish 25). However publishes may also occur invisibly during a shard's maintence to fix exploits and bugs.

'''Publishes''' are changes to a [[Shard]]'s programming to fix bugs or add content. Publishes may or may not be announced by the development team, depending on the type. A major game update will always be announced (i.e. Publish 25), however, publishes may also occur invisibly during a shard's maintenance to fix exploits and bugs.

Originally, major publishes were known simply by the date on which they were released, but in the time leading up to the announcement of [[Ultima Online: Renaissance|UO:R]], [[The Six Month Plan]] was announced. This laid out the future goal of releasing large, regularly scheduled publishes. Publishes began being numbered internally, and the practice caught on until publishes began being publically known by their number. The first publish to be mentioned by its number publically was [[Publish 10]], and the first publish to be officially titled by its number was the massive [[Publish 15]].

Publishes are changes to a Shard's programming to fix bugs or add content. Publishes may or may not be announced by the development team, depending on the type. A major game update will always be announced (i.e. Publish 25), however, publishes may also occur invisibly during a shard's maintenance to fix exploits and bugs.

Originally, major publishes were known simply by the date on which they were released, but in the time leading up to the announcement of UO:R, The Six Month Plan was announced. This laid out the future goal of releasing large, regularly scheduled publishes. Publishes began being numbered internally, and the practice caught on until publishes began being publically known by their number. The first publish to be mentioned by its number publically was Publish 10, and the first publish to be officially titled by its number was the massive Publish 15.
