Welcome to Beyond Sosaria. The sections below cover how to connect, what to expect during account and character creation, and the gear and skills every new player starts with.

The server accepts the Classic Client, the Enhanced Client, and older client variants (including UO:TD and God Client builds).

• Enhanced Client minimum version: 67.0.59.0
• Classic Client required version: matches the client.exe distributed by the shard. Clients older than that version receive a warning and are disconnected after 5 seconds.

1. Install a supported UO client. Use the Classic Client patched to the version the shard distributes, or the Enhanced Client at version 67.0.59.0 or newer.
2. Point the client (or your launcher) at play.beyondsosaria.com on TCP port 2593. The IP address 23.227.186.114 may also be used if your client needs a literal address.
3. Enter any username and password. If the account does not exist, the server creates it automatically on first login.
4. Pick a character slot from the character list and proceed to character creation.

• In-game password change: the [Password command is enabled. The change must be issued from the same Class-C IP block that created the account; otherwise a GM page is generated for review.

Each account has 7 character slots.

Character creation on Beyond Sosaria departs significantly from retail UO defaults. The values below apply to every new character regardless of the choices made on the creation screen.

All new characters begin at maximum stats. The stat distribution selected on the creation screen is intentionally ignored.

Every skill begins at 100.0 base value. The skill choices made on the creation screen do not change base skill values; they only determine which starting-skill kit items are added to your character.

• Total skill cap: Effectively Unlimited.
• Per-skill cap: Trammel Power Scrolls can raise to 120, Desolate Power Scrolls will raise skills from 120 to 150.
• Profession templates (templates 1–7 from the creation gump) preselect a four-skill kit with matching starter armor or weapon. They do not change your starting stats or base-skill values; those remain 100/100/100 and 100.0 across every skill.

Every new character's backpack contains:

• 50,000 gold bank check
• Personal Bless Deed
• Trash Pack
• Loot Bag
• Full Magery Spellbook
• Sosarian Ethereal Mount

If the new character is the first or second character on the account, the pack also includes:

• Pet Bond Deed
• Lower Reagent Cost (LRC) Bag

The first character on an account additionally receives:

• Full Magery Spellbook
• Full Necromancy Spellbook
• Book of Chivalry
• House Placement Tool
• Perk Deed: “Auto Resurrect Upon Death” (2 days)
• Perk Deed: “No Item Drop Upon Death” (2 days)
• LRC Bag

A Welcome to Beyond Sosaria gump appears on first character login and re-opens on each subsequent login. Reopen it at any time with the [welcome command. Use the “Do not show on login” toggle on the gump to suppress it on future logins.

New characters choose from the following cities at character creation:

If the client does not provide a starting location, your character arrives at New Haven, The Bountiful Harvest Inn. The Siege ruleset (which would restrict choices to Britain and Royal City and redirect Trammel destinations to Felucca) is not active on Beyond Sosaria.
