Note* The Akara Essex Launcher Issue with Unable to Parse Current Version has been fixed!! Turns out the retards over at Hostmonster don't realize that Cloudflare or whatever its called screws up some program's ability to retrieve files from the webserver and thus made launcher unable to get the version.txt file. ANyhow its fixed and all is well. I will be releasing a new complete patched version of the client with our patches included as well over the next day or two. Hunter, Slave and Unmortal have been working tirelessly fixing bugs and adding features to the server over the last week or so. Thanks to them for all their efforts in making Akara the Best Ultima Online Free Shard of them all! Please check here for latest Server News and don't forget to PLEASE Vote often on the Ultima Online Server freeshard listing! The more votes we get the more players you get at Akara.
