With over 35 million players, the Asian country is the fourth-largest gaming market in the world by revenue. The size of the market more than doubled over the last decade from 9.75 tn won ($7.2bn) to more than 21 tn won ($15 bn).18 May 2023

So why they are not welcome to UO?
Korean can't buy any codes from EA for 3 years and nobody cares..

Devs ignore and forum mod closes thread...

    Are you sure they do not get their codes from Japan EA.  Are you in Korea?

    They may also know that you are using a VPN and block you.

    that's because EA KOREA stopped supporting Ultima Online service in korea...
    sadly, as i know that there is nothing that dev and broadsword can do...unless EA KOREA resumes service....
    (maybe EA KOREA (Not EA and Broadsword) has the service authority and copyright of Ultima Online in korea)

    Probably quit supporting UO because Yoshi cheats so much.  :D
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    Im not an expert but maybe make an effort marketting UO in these areas:
    Im not claiming all of those are Korean, but some probably are.  Asia anyhow 2billion people potential.

    Already existing UO servers:
    Asuka
    Arirang
    Balhae
    Sakura
    Mugen
    Wakoku
    Hokuto
    Formoza
    Izumi
    Mizuho
    Yamato
    Oceania


    Together we make the game better!

    Have you tried your third party client?  Maybe that will help.

    Balhae and Arirang are the two Korean shards

    Never be afraid to challenge the status quo

    The "countries" are meaningless for some time already.

    All Asian servers are physically located in Japan. 

    There is an even bigger (mobile) gaming market but now at "war" with *


    If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
