Welcome to Ultima Online, a world that offers thousands of hours of fun, adventure and community. There is much to do, many choices, so many lands to explore, houses to design and build, quests to complete, rare treasures to hunt for, exotic creatures to tame, and an almost infinite array of characters to build. This guide is meant to give you a head start on the many hours of adventure that lay in front of you.

Moving Your Character

• To move your character, click and hold the right mouse button towards the hand-shaped cursor. The further away from your character you keep the cursor, the faster you move.
• To pathfind (automatically move around obstacles in order to reach your destination so long as it is within your line of sight), double-click the right mouse button at a selected point.
• To follow another character, press and hold alt + left-click that character. To stop following, press and hold alt + left-click your character.

• To see another character?s name and information, mouse over that character.
• To access another person?s character window (Peace mode only), doubleclick that character with your left mouse button.
• To speak to another character, type what you wish to say, then press enter. Your speech appears directly above your character.
• For more information on interacting and communicating with others, visit the Playguide at guide.uo.com.

• To get an item?s name, mouse over the item.
• To move an item, click and drag the item to your desired destination.
• To place an item in your inventory, drag an item into your character or backpack.
• To trade an item to another player, drag the item onto their character.
• To drop an item, drag it from your backpack then release the mouse button.
• To use an item, double-click it with your left mouse button. If a targeting cursor appears, you must target another object on which to use the item. (To do so, click the object you wish to target.)
• To open a container, double-click it with your left mouse button. The container opens and its contents are displayed in a window.
• Note: Items in your backpack can be stacked on top of one another, so move items around if you cannot find what you are looking for at first glance.

• To access in-game help, double-click your character to open the character window, then click HELP.
• My character is stuck - Choose the STUCK option from the menu under the Help button by left-clicking the green arrow. After a few minutes you are teleported to a city of your choice.
• Another player is harassing me - Use the Help button and report harassment by left-clicking the appropriate green arrow. For non-verbal abuses such as offensive names or profiles, please page a Game Master (GM) by clicking HELP, then selecting OTHER.
• Other gameplay problems - Use the Help button and select OTHER. This automatically pages a GM to come and help you.

• To leave the game, open your character window (paper doll) and select LOG OUT.
• Make sure you are in a safe place - like an Inn or your home with the door closed - before you log out. It can take up to 5 minutes for a character to leave the world, so if you log out in a dangerous area, your character might be attacked without you knowing it.
