It is with much pleasure that we announce the release of Team Archon's
next milestone of the Ultima 6 Project, Milestone 7 (M7) for Dungeon
Siege 1 (PC and Mac). This is the alpha release for the project, which
will be followed shortly by the beta and 1.0 releases. Go to our site,
u6project.com, to check it out! Some things to look forward to in this
release:

* The entire world is now available for players to explore, and
players will be able to complete the game, though some elements will
be further enhanced in the beta and 1.0 releases.
* New NPCs have been added, including a certain Cyclops family and
a two-headed llama.
* Additional enhancements have been made to existing areas.
* More quests have been implemented, including the entire main
quest.
* The Journal system has been greatly enhanced, and players will
be able to track their progress with it.

And given how they were treating the franchise by the end, I think I'm
far happier with it staying in the hands of the fans. Sadly, I feel a
frisson of dread run up my spine everytime I head gossip that EA may
be returning to Ultima. AT this point, I don't think I even want
Garriot touching the series anymore...

Personally I was hoping to see the exult version of U6 progress, but that
seems to be totally dead now. Nuvie, or something like that, looks
promising for U6 Martian & Savage, but the going seems to be pretty slow
there. I'm probably in the minority crossing my fingers for a low system
requirement cross-platform way to play the entire Ultima series though.
Most people probably aren't reading their usenet groups from a 300MHz PII
