Five on Friday

Five on Friday was started in an effort to take the best questions from the forums and display them on the Ultima Online homepage so that a greater number of players could view the answers. It was decided that the number of questions each week would be five in order to maintain consistency, and that they would be culled from various forum posts through the week and presented on Friday before most of the development team went home for the weekend.

Some of the questions were originally answered on the forums and copied and/or modified to fit in the Five on Friday, and some were only answered in the Five on Friday.

It is common for controversy over the Five on Friday questions to break out on the forums. Arguments frequently arise if less than five questions have been answered, if some of the questions were never actually asked by anyone, or if some or all of the questions are in fact not questions at all, but are actually in-character conversations in support of recent in-game events, general announcements, or other, non-question entries.

More recently, Five on Fridays have been posted either on Saturday morning, or so late on Friday night as to be Saturday morning for most time zones. Their associated dates reflect this.
