"This post will serve as an advanced notice that RunUO will not attempt to reverse engineer Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn. Over the years RunUO has rebuilt everything OSI did for Ultima Online and then followed up the patches EA Games has put out for the game. However Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn is a different beast... we all love Ultima Online and the RunUO Team has decided we shall respect the work done to revitalize this game.
We also ask that you respect the NDA that is currently in place for UO:KR and not post any screen shots or game data. This should be considered a rule violation on the forum if you do post this data and will result in a termination of your account. You are welcome to link to remote information from an official UO site but do not use this site to disseminate any information you receive while participating in either the Alpha or Beta.
My personal feeling on the matter is that this attempt to revitalize an already 10 year old game will fail. The game will never again be what it once was but we should definitely give them the chance to prove us wrong. If they pull it off good for them and congratulations.
Deep in my gut something about UO:KR really bothers me... it seems as though this is EA's attempt to shut down RunUO and Free Shards.
We appreciate your support in this and we look forward to completing RunUO 100% up to where EA breaks off for UO:KR.
Thanks,
Ryan"

So.... EA is most likely going to be dropping support for the current client, which means there will be no way to download or patch it. AND they might even make it illegal to use, which in result is very bad news for us...
If they don't make it illegal, well as long as we all have backup of the client and razor (so to be able to reinstall in the event of a system format) we can keep playing.
I had a big feeling about this, tbh.
I just hope they won't start shutting down UO2D shards, if not, then we should be safe.

uo3d will not be supported, but uo2d will. no need to worry just yet.
All you have to do is not patch and you should be fine.

Yeah and keep a backup of the unpatched client for the event of a reinstall. I think thats the main problem, most people won't consider that so if they format their machines, bye bye UO if EA pulls off the client. But we'll see, maybe they'll be nice enough to consider free shards... if it was not for free shards UO would be dead.
