Public Alpha Guide

Enter the World of Accord

A tester guide for joining CivCharter Online, creating a first-login account, learning the first commands, and helping turn a fresh shard into public memory.

Shard

CivCharter Online Test

Public alpha through Playit relay

Online

Current audience

Open alpha account creation

Public reachability is open through the Playit relay. Testers may create an account on first login while the world, lore, archive, and onboarding process mature.

Tester mission

Make the world useful

Find routes, identify services, choose roles, file reports, test objects, and help turn an empty shard into public memory.

Step 1

ClassicUO connection setup

Testers need ClassicUO and their own legally obtained UO Classic client data. CivCharter Online does not distribute copyrighted game assets.

Profile: CivCharter Online
Server: mineral-augmentation.with.playit.plus
Port: 1390
Client path: Ultima Online Classic folder
Account: create on first login with a new username/password
Password: use a test-only password
Limit: up to 100 accounts per source IP

Public access status

The shard is reachable through the Playit TCP relay. Use the public server and port shown here; testers must still use their own legally obtained UO Classic client data. Account creation is automatic on first login.

Account policy

Create your account on first login

Auto account creation is enabled for public alpha testing. The server allows up to 100 accounts per source IP to prevent Playit relay collisions, but this is not a promise of 100 concurrent players.

  • Install ClassicUO and point it at your legally obtained Ultima Online Classic client folder.
  • Use server mineral-augmentation.with.playit.plus and port 1390.
  • Create an account by entering a new username and a test-only password on first login.
  • Do not reuse a real password from another service.
  • Owner/admin accounts are private and will never be posted publicly.

Etiquette

Peaceful-first conduct

  • Build before you dominate.
  • Use conflict only where it has meaning and consent or clear structure.
  • Do not grief new citizens or turn the civic center into a hazard.
  • Treat the archive as public memory, not trash storage.
  • Report useful discoveries so the next citizen has a better world than you found.
  • Prefer stewardship, repair, and explanation before punishment.
