In John Razimus' UO:Shattered Legacy emulator comes the original EA READ ME. It lists a ton of information about the features, spells, items, skills, aswell as future changes that they were awareing testers of.

It lists Ranged Weapons as a skill that isn't implemented yet, I don't know if they ever added while alpha was still up or not but If so awesome, I wanna list it in suggestions.

I'd love to get my archer-swag on

The official README that was distributed with the client here: here.
In the readme youll see "Combat with ranged weapons (other than the fireball spell) is
not currently implemented."

There is also an Unofficial FAQ out there as well here. It notes: "Further, there were no ranged weapons."

I documented some pre-alpha pages in the Wiki. Pre-Alpha Archive

However, they most certainly intended for this later on. I have found many traces of bows and animations.



First Dawn plans to have archery.

Draconis yell's into the void "Come and get it!".
