THIRD DAWN SNUCK OUT DOOR WHILE NO ONE WAS LOOKING, SPRITED OFF TO ELOPE WITH BALDUR’S GATE EXPANSION [Author: Lum the Mad]

Coming as a surprise to, well, pretty much everyone, David Swofford, OSI’s PR guy, told GoneGold the following:

Just a heads up that UO: Third Dawn has gone gold and will be shipping to retailers on March 27. Let me know if you have any other questions. Web site is http://www.uo3d.com.

Director of Communications

We tried to reach some folks at OSI to confirm that the beta test for UO3D was over and the program had magically been finished, but they were all oddly silent, save finally for the sound of heads slowly pounding the tops of desks.

Mr. Swofford is still rumored to be alive at this hour. We’ll keep you posted.
