Overview
Ultima Online: Samurai Empire was an Expansion released November 2, 2004.
UO:SE (as this expansion is popularly known) introduced several Asian themed elements into UO. Mostly, but not exclusively, these were drawn from Japanese mythology and folklore, and seem to reflect no small amount of research on part of the UO team.
Two new skills were introduced: Bushido, the skill of the Samurai profession, and Ninjitsu, the skill of the Ninja profession. A new map, known as the Tokuno Islands was introduced. Official fiction held that the Tokuno Islands was the same map that was known in the old single-player Ultima games as the "Land of the Feudal Lords."
What follows in this article is mostly drawn from the official promotion materials on UO.com.
Features
- Become a Samurai Master – Dedicate yourself to the art of Bushido, with powerful new skills and deadly new weapons.
- Join an Elite Ninja Clan – Submit to the discipline of Ninjitsu, mastering stealth, deception, and the art of assassination.
- Adventure on a New Continent, The Tokuno Islands – Explore a new Japanese-themed land filled with scenic housing areas, mythical creatures, monsters, dungeons, and more.
- Lay Claim to Exotic New Treasures – New weapons, armor, clothing, house tiles, magic, and more will reward the adventurous.
- Powerful New Guild Systems – Create a guild, set up ranks, declare wars on other guilds, and set win conditions. Recruiting guildmates and increasing your power have never been easier.
Promotions
- If you pre-buy Ultima Online: Samurai Empire, you will get an in-game object called a Soulstone.
