Ultima in Austin
The company formerly known as Origin Systems sent word that they will be showing off the long-awaited sequel to their massively multiplayer RPG Ultima Online at the Ultima Online World Faire, taking place in Austin, Texas in November. Additionally, anybody attending the event will be signed up for one of the earliest rounds of public beta testing for the new game, which is now rather clumsily titled "Ultima Worlds Online : Origin". All you have to do is go to the faire's website and sign-up, and the only catch is that you have to be an Ultima Online subscriber "in good standing at the time of the test" for a slot in the UWO beta program.
