This Guide will walk you through the basics. For Ultima Online Veterans, please see our UO Veteran Guide for server specific differences.
Interface
Controls & Interaction
Movement
Hold down the right mouse button and point in any direction to move.
- Hover your cursor close to your character while holding right-click and you'll walk in that direction.
- Move your cursor further away and your character breaks into a run.
- Running drains Stamina, and certain conditions can affect your movement speed such as Injuries and hobbling.
Alternatively, if you prefer more modern controls, navigate to Options > Experimental and enable WASD Movement.
- Because UO uses a classic isometric view with 8 directions, there are two WASD settings available so you can set your base directions to whichever feels natural, either cardinal or top/down/left/right.
Item Management & Interaction
UO is pretty freeform when it comes to managing items and interactions. Most things will respond to a click or a hover, if only to tell you what it is.
- Single-click or hover over anything to see its name, a quick way to get your bearings in an unfamiliar place.
- Double-click most things to use or activate them: tools, food, drink, doors, job items, and crafting stations. Double-clicking a character opens their paperdoll, or a menu if they're a special NPC.
- Hold ALT/span> to highlight interactable and noteworthy items in your immediate area, useful for a fast sweep of a room without clicking through everything.
- Click and drag to move items, reposition things in your backpack, hand something to another player which will open a trade menu, or drop it in the world.
