OSI - Account Registration Changes

OSI will laut http://update.uo.com/fyi.html den Dummy-Accounts an den Kragen, da mit diesen zu oft Schindluder getrieben worden ist. Deshalb soll in Zukunft die Angabe einer Kreditkartennummer bei Account-Neuerstellung Pflicht sein, die ersten 30 Spieltage seien natürlich nach wie vor frei!

"We feel it’s important to give players a chance to try out the world of Ultima Online before making the decision to join, which is why our policy of offering 30 days free game time to new accounts hasn’t changed. But when it’s too easy to create temporary accounts for a 30-day period, it’s inevitable that some players will create new accounts for other, less scrupulous reasons. So, in a step taken to ensure that all new accounts created are created by players looking to experience the land of Britannia as it’s meant to be, we are now asking all players to enter a credit card during the registration phase. Rest assured, though, that the first 30 days are still free!

For players without a credit card or who prefer to use another method, there are certainly alternatives, which can be found in our game knowledge base located here (http://uo.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/uo.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?&p_faqid=2970&p_created=1012610238). You can also click on the "Ask a Question" tab found at the top of that page and enter your query into the knowledge base if you have any more questions. We’ll see you in Britannia! "
