Before E. Gary Gygax and J. R.. R. Tolkein,
NEW Race Options - We have recently released 3 new races; Vampires, Goblins and Trow.
NEW PvP Zones - We have just introduced PvP Zones into our world. With the limited number of RP PvP Shards available, our players have been asking for PvP options for those who wish it, and we have responded to their requests.
NEW Faction System - With the introduction of more PvP to the shard we are doing a trial run on a PvP Faction system. A battle between the Dark and the Light for the very balance of the world.
Screen Shots - It is our belief that you will not find a prettier world. We have tons of custom art, including wearables, kitchen craftables and over 100 new trees, not to mention some of the best homes and shops anywhere.
Application - The application process is not complicated, nor do we expect you to write pages and pages of lengthy stories. The world is designed for you to learn the fiction as you play, not try and memorize difficult world history.
Shard Design - This is our third shard. We've learned a lot since we started running shards six years ago. I can say with some pride, that this is our Best Shard yet.
Non-Stop Development - Improvements and updates to the shard on a regular basis.
Customized world map and verdata with many new wearables and art.
Advanced Class System (still in development).
Mature Role-Play shard for Adults only (17+).
Consent Only PvP and NEW PvP Zones, PvP Tags and Faction System. No stealing or snooping from players.
Player ran towns (leaders elected by the majority). Towns develop thru the effort of the players through a customized construction system.
Run UO ver 1.0 Scripts using Mondain's Legacy (download site links available).
Attended Macroing allowed.
Creative Skill gain system and a viable player economy for crafters.
Account creation through application approval.
High end fiber line: 15m down/5m up.
Forums - Active Forums with more than 1500 members.
Wiki - Player run wiki with TONS of information on game play, fiction, races and guilds.
IRC - Our chat channel is the heart of our community. Always active, always friendly! Please come join us.
Staff - Our staff team work together, both old and new, acting as a well forged team. Tired of staff teams that fight and squabble? You won't find that here.
New Players - New players are warmly welcomed into our community. Don't fear that you will not make friends or have a hard time finding role-play. Our community is dedicated to providing a warm and embracing environment, helping new players quickly become old friends.
Gallery - See the faces of our community, and the player submitted screen shots.
Radio Show - The staff and players run a semi regular Radio Show for the enjoyment of our community.
"I came to the shard at the advice of a good friend. Not only did I find the stellar roleplay I'd been missing, I found an amazing community to go with it. The players and staff have been absolutely wonderful and have become so much more than just friends, they've become a second family to me." ~ Caitria
"I've had the extreme luck of playing on Sanctuary, and thought I wouldn't have as much fun roleplaying again as I did on that shard, boy was I wrong, Grimmwold is the best, with great players, great features, and of course the best staff around." ~ Karel - Player of Liarin
I just love how the maps of Grimmwold are so large, because I love exploring new places, and I just think it was wonderfully done. ~Esmerta
Grimmwold rocks! Why the hell aren't you here yet? ~ Halikar
"A lot of you know that I play Illarion as well and I love it. But I need to say I had never expect to found a community like this (and I know a lot of forums ). Furthermore I had never thought I had fun to play another game than Illarion."
"A place that really feels like home again. Great roleplay, great atmosphere, and most of all, great people (players AND staff)!"
"Just wanted to say I really appreciate everything the admins and the owners do for us players. In the very short amount of time since I’ve been here they’ve made me feel so welcome and at home. Everything about this shard is simply amazing and I really look forward to logging in every day. Thank you all!" ~ Julianna
Fantastic role-play server recommendable to all! ~ Christine|Snuzel
What's so great about this shard is its not just a place to come and get the best role-play, its a family of people who look out for each other and help in whatever way is possible, there for you in the ups and downs of life. Grimmwold is simply home. ~ Mia
"All of Grimmwold has been so much fun and excitement and I didn't think it could get any more then it was. Was I surprised!"
"As a new player, I just have to step up and say - I appreciate every bit of effort to answer questions and make a newbie feel welcome and learn the ropes, and I'm having a blast! It really makes a difference, the RP has been great, the extended coding blows me away every time I discover something new, and this place is refreshing. Kudos all around and looking forward to more!"
"By far the best UO experience I've ever had, keep up the good work. I love this shard." ~ Soren
Grimmwold is like a real 'dream world' away from the real one, and I love it ~ Van Cocidius
"We are all lost in our way, deep in this awesome story. . .always room for one more" ~ Aya
"The RP during the last couple of days was amazing with a lot of people. All who has played with Aleytys many, many thanks. You're all awesome, kind and friendly, always willing to help me out."
"I suppose one of the many things that helps, is the fact that we all actually influence the shard. You don't have to be staff, or a kiss-ass to be heard, just open your mouth (or in this case, fingers) and speak." ~ Jibara
"I was amazed at the roleplay yesterday too, blown off my feet actually." ~ Honey
Grimmwold is a server that really puts a new spin on Ultima Online and Roleplaying. It is rich with adventure for the average roleplayer, and a place to develop characters that create storylines, and are remembered in its history. ~ Marishka
