This week's "Five on Friday" Q&A feature on the official Ultima Online website covers questions about continued support for the Enhanced Client, taking Brittania to a modern day/futuristic setting, and more.

Will we ever see Brittania enter the modern/futuristic age?

Well, we never like to say “never”, but honestly we aren’t thinking along those lines at all. Even though the early Ultima games had laser pistols and space ships, Ultima Online started as fantasy and is likely to remain that way for the foreseeable future.
