Classic Era
Aside from the Classic Client and ClassicUO Client, while there are many different things that define what "Classic" is to different people, there are two major turning points in the game's history that stand out above all others as marking an end to the Classic Era. The first was the introduction of the facet of Trammel with the release of the Renaissance expansion, while the second was the changes to the item system and game mechanics that came with the Age of Shadows expansion. Oceania Classic is set during The Second Age expansion, before both the Renaissance and the Age of Shadows.
It is important to note that while Oceania Classic is set in The Second Age era, it is not a replica or recreation of the game as it was during The Second Age, nor does it seek to be. Features from across UO's decades long history that enhance the shard and fit into the Classic Era have been included.
