New Player Guide

This Guide will walk you through the basics of Ultima Online, for Ultima Online Veterans, please see our UO Veteran Guide for server specific differences.

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 [[1]]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.
