RunUO

[RustUO @rustuoteam]

One of the most important decisions we're making for RustUO is choosing our scripting engine. After careful consideration, we've implemented Lua and are currently testing it out.

This is an exciting direction as Lua has deep roots in gaming and powers everything from World of Warcraft addons to Roblox. It's lightweight, fast, and battle-tested in exactly the kind of environment we're building for.

More updates to come as testing progresses.

Incredible to see this real time!

RustUO continues its progress... real time persistence testing, mid run... during a crash you lose 1 step :)

It's been a long time since someone built a UO Server from scratch... lots of forks, refactors... but here we are in 2026 doing it again:

[RunUO @RunUO]

Incredible how far our project has come... moving to Rust is a big deal!

Do you keep your bank organized? A default RustUO Server out of the box right now uses 25 megs of RAM... and keeps its memory very organized :) Nothing else is even close.

[RustUO @rustuoteam]

Progress continues.... :) RustUO Serving 400 users... in the early stages in 92 MB of RAM... pretty impressive.

Stress testing with 2,500 conversational AI bots powered by OpenAI can be fun....

[RustUO @rustuoteam]

Much progress today... Looking forward to a rust future...

[RustUO @rustuoteam]

We've been heads down and quiet the last couple of months... but progress is being made. @UOGamers @RunUO

Crafting News From the Workshop

Glassblowing Gets Serious: At long last, proper glassblowing tables have arrived! Tinkerers can now craft these handsome workstations, and all glassblowers must work at a table when shaping their wares.

Adventurer Updates

The Stars Await: The initial astronomy quest is back in action! Chart the heavens, record your discoveries, and secure your place in Britannia’s celestial history. (Mind your naming — rude or out-of-place constellations will be erased, and troublemakers won’t be smiling for long.)

Sand Mining, But Less Miserable: We’ve cut the dig count from six to three and nudged up the success rate for skilled miners. Go forth and collect sand without breaking your spirit!

Table Games & Beyond

Poker Gets Smarter: Poker logs and data on the website have been sharpened up for a smoother experience.

[RunUO @RunUO]

Oh…. And put up a whole new website… https://t.co/alfLu9qxZE ;-)

We quietly re-released RunUO 2.3… then upgraded it to 3.0 on NET 8.0… and followed that up with 3.1 doing some cleanup work.

While we’re not sure where this goes… it’s enjoyable to be back in some context.

[RustUO @rustuoteam]

Flashbacks happening to the early days of RunUO and even UOX. Rust is a great language... can't wait to keep making progress.

[RunUO @RunUO]

This is pretty exciting! Ultima Online will never die thanks to the community around it.
