These are the official patch notes from the original release of Ultima Online. These patch notes were found at [http://update.uo.com/oldpatch.shtml].

*A general upgrading of creature difficulty.
*A much more detailed menu-based help system accessed via the Call GM button.
*Book titles and other more detailed names will show in shop windows.
*A major stability issue that also caused lag was resolved.
*Fixed an exploit whereby you could remove items from locked containers if the container was already open on your screen.
*Added a macro called "AllNames" that lets you bring up the names of everyone on screen instantly.
*Combat mode highlighting now works correctly on sitting people.
*Fixed some problems with combat highlighting, particularly on animals. The neutral hue is now different as well.
*Mining now has a small animation, a delay, sound effects, and autostacking of ore in your backpack.
*Fletching and lumberjacking also now have sound effects, animations, and require "process" time.
*Changed the animation used by the energy vortex.
*Teleporting too close to houses and ships is now impossible.
*Gate travel is now two-way, so that if someone tries to trap you on a roof you can just walk back.
*There are now four damage types: direct (ignores armor), physical, fire, and energy.
*Slashing, bashing, and piercing weapons now damage different types of armor materials at different rates.
*The damage taken by fire and energy attacks will depend in part on the sort of armor you are wearing.
*All offensive spells now affect notoriety and call guards, including non-damaging ones.
*A general revision to spell damages was done to tier them better. *Flamestrike in particualr is much nicer now.
*Ships and boats now put a spare key in your safety deposit box when you build them.
*You can double-click a recall rune and edit the text on it to label it whatever you want.
*The paralyze spell will take magic resistance into account.
*The problems with directions and locations being identified as "0 0 0 0" should be fixed. Note that existing recall runes will not be corrected (but you can now rename them as you prefer, see above).
*Lords British and Blackthorn's guards now match city guards in abilities.
*More undead should show up in cemeteries.
*"Good" brigands and pirates should stop appearing.
*There were apparently stregnth requirements on some items of jewelry; these have been removed.
*A few more types of creatures will start to travel in groups.
*You can now sell items that are in containers in your backpack.
*Practice weapons now always stay with you when you die, just like spellbooks do.
*Fixed some more messed up notoriety titles (Noble and Lord were reversed, and "looking"--the single-click--was giving you "Lord" status at a different point than your character window was).
*Paladins are tougher now.
