Hi! Just a general question: Do I have to buy expansions when I'm a subscriber? I'm a little confused by the store page and my account page so any advice would be appreciated!
You do not need to buy any expansions to play UO. You do not need to buy any expansions to play New Legacy.
You could Buy Time of Legends once you progress in UO. It has more content and items.
After established even more you can Buy High Seas. Content on the seas.
High Seas is the only expansion that has content you cannot access unless you pay them. Depending on your playstyle it may be unnecessary. I'd recommend playing without it and only adding it if you find yourself missing out.
If you have played UO enough that you have advanced characters, and you know that you want to continue playing UO I would recommend getting high seas. I know about a year or so after I started the restrictions imposed by not having high seas were starting to frustrate me. I could not use some things I bought because they only worked if you had high seas, and some event played much better if you could use ships. I broke down and bought it and started to enjoy the game more.
On the other hand if you are just learning how to play UO, you might want to wait until not having it restricts your game play. Don’t remember which event I needed it for, but to really play with my friends at the event I needed high seas so that’s when I decided to buy it.
The ships you get to use add a lot to the game play.
With High Seas at the last event you could do beacons and pirate ships. Beacon provided 12 hats. I think to turn them you needed high seas to get to turn in guy if you were on your own.
Thank you for the info I really appreciate it!
I will point out that High Seas was not classed as an expansion, but as a 'booster pack'.
