"Good Morning, Sosaria!" From Producer Greg “Kyronix” Havlusch on uo.com

Good Morning, Sosaria!

In 1998, during middle school gym class, my friend told me about this game where you could literally do anything you wanted—you could even have a pet dragon! I remember going to the local game store and asking the guy at the counter if The Second Age came with the first age. Little did I know that question would spark the beginning of a journey that has led me here today.

Like many of you, I have spent thousands and thousands of hours in Britannia, living in a world born of mystic arts and ancient sorcery. When the opportunity to work on Ultima Online became available, I jumped at the chance. Having had the pleasure of being part of the UO Dev Team and creating adventures for all of you over the last thirteen years has been the ride of a lifetime!

None of this would have been possible without the trust and confidence of Bonnie Armstrong, and for that, I am so thankful. She plucked me from obscurity and gave me the chance to become an Event Moderator and later a Designer. Her dedication, longevity, and love for this community are something rarely seen in the video game industry.

Ultima Online is a special place for so many of us. Its enduring legacy is unmatched. Being entrusted with that legacy is something I take with the utmost seriousness, and I am beyond fortunate to have an incredible team of game development professionals who have become like family after so many years. The team is dedicated to keeping the magic of Britannia alive for decades to come.

I’m beyond excited to go on this adventure with the Ultima Online community and can’t wait to show you what comes next.

See you in Britannia,

Greg “Kyronix” Havlusch

    Congratulations and welcome as Producer, and best of Luck. :)

    Thank you for the intro, and for some reason, Blizzard in France did not trust me enough to employ me...  :D

    Will be even better news if they can hire another developer as well.
