Requiem is one of the last true enforced role-playing shards left in the Ultima Online player-ran community. Versions and instances of Requiem have been operational for nearly ten years. Over our long history, we have cultivated a strong core community of veteran role-players, talented map makers, proficient programmers and experienced game masters.

For the past two years, the original staff of Requiem has come back together to re-open the doors of this project for one final foray into the abyss. We have worked closely with our community in determining what our players expect from us. We have examined what has worked and what hasn’t for not only Requiem, but for other enforced role-playing shards. Combining all of these lessons learned, we have embarked on creating what we feel to be one of the most unique, interactive and engrossing role-playing experiences to date within the UO community.

One of the most important tenants of Requiem’s design philosophy is that of character development and customization. In order to promote a sense of true individualized development of one’s character, we have created a completely custom skill system which incorporates both traditional Ultima Online style skill gain through use along with a skill purchasing function, allowing players to develop their character how they see fit. In addition, each skill offers a plethora of “skill perks” that allows players to further customize their skills and their behavior. Become a legendary blacksmith by investing your time, skill points and perks into abilities that will make you known throughout the lands as an expert in your trade. Master the arts of the arcane by specializing in one of many schools of magic and mystical studies. Conquer the battlefield by specializing in one of many different weapon skills, including Firearms, and augment your fighting abilities further by utilizing one of many supporting skills.
