Welcome to The Expanse-

There are tons of free UO shards out there. We aren't trying to compete. We offer a more realistic "base" UO experience, as close to OSI as you can get without paying subscription fees every month. What does this mean? Simply put, the basic OSI-style shard is there and available, but the extra content added on top of it is what makes it stand apart from an actual OSI shard. We've taken the best aspects of OSI, added in more content for flavor and come out on top. We don't cater to PvP here, but we do cater to casual and hardcore players alike. There will always be plenty of things to do by yourself or with friends or your guild. New content is constantly being created and added!

 


We do accept donations here. Players are not obligated to do so and we will never ask players to donate. Donations can help cover costs like; web hosting, shard hosting, and shard maintenance. With that in mind, if you would like to donate, please click the donation button below. Donations are given to the parent company, A+ Web Designs. A+ Web Designs is handling the above mentioned costs.




The Expanse is an English-based shard that is currently operating with Mondain's Legacy, with a lot of custom content and more being added at least once every 3 months. (NOTE: Gargoyles are available during character creation, but should only be used for crafting purposes, as their game content is incomplete otherwise.)

 

While we try to keep things as close to OSI-style as possible, we do have some interesting features added to make things more enjoyable.
