Getting started

Follow the steps below or click here for a detailed explanation.

Step 1: Install Ultima Online: Samurai Empire or Higher

To play on RunNL you will need a clean install of Ultima Online: Samurai Empire on your computer. If you have played on other shards, please make sure you have no custom files (verdata, hues, map, etc.) installed. Otherwise, you will have to uninstall or delete Ultima Online from your harddisk, and install it again.
You can download a copy of Ultima Online: Mondain's Legacy, the latest client, here.

Step 2: Patch Ultima Online

Please run the patch utility afterwards (uo.exe in the UO directory, icon on your desktop or find it in Start menu). After it's done, you should be around version 5.0.1h or higher. If the client started, close it again.

Either do the 3.A OR 3.B not both!!

Step 3.A: Install UOGateway (skip to Step: 3.B if you do not wish to use it though we recommend it):

Now that you have Ultima Online: Mondain's Legacy installed, you need some specific files to play on RunNL. You can download it here.

- Click here for the UOGateway link to Neverlands RunNL edition

If for some reason the UOGateways link to Neverlands doesn't work simply find it on the UOGateways list.

Step 3.B: Install RunNL package (skip this if you installed UOGateway):

Now that you have Ultima Online: Mondain's Legacy installed, you need some specific files to play on RunNL. Please download the package from the download page and install it.
Note that the login.cfg in the packages is outdated and we can't replace it at the moment so you will have to do it manually. Download it here and replace it in your Ultima Online or Neverlands directory (depends on what package you installed).

Step 4: Create an account

Creating an account is easy. Once you have done the previous 2 steps, just start Ultima Online by going to the start menu, navigate to Programs, Neverlands and click Neverlands (RunNL) or if you've installed the UOGateway run Ultima Online through it. Be sure to read the rules first!

You will be presented with the Ultima Online login screen. Type your desired username and password and an account is automaticly created.

- If you have someone else at home that wants to play as well, please read the rules on shared access.
- If you made an account earlier but lost your password, please contact a staffmember in IRC or by email.

If you have any problems loging in or running Ultima it self please go through the Detailed installation steps to make shure you've done everything right.
If it still doesn't work read the Login FAQ. If you still can't get it running than please come to our forum or IRC channel and ask for help with detailed information on what exactly is your problem.

Have fun!
