Sithlock is a free Ultima Online shard that combines all of the best features of UO before Renassaince was introduced on April 3, 2000. We have spent a lot of time making this shard the most era accurate experience you will ever have. We will not implement any features to the shard unless they are accurate to the preUOR era (with the exception of a few monster and animal spawns). If you find something within the shard that is not accurate you can post about it on our forums and we will fix it, this is our era accuracy guarantee.
