History

Shard emulation for Ultima Online got its start during the beta-stage of the game’s development in 1996 and 1997, when a program called Ultima Offline eXperiment was released that allowed the players to setup offline servers the game client could connect to. The source-code for version three of this program was released under the GNU General Public License sometime in 1998, which spawned a host of forks, clones and complete reimplementations.
From the time the first shard emulator software appeared and until late 2005, more than 40 shard emulation projects for Ultima Online came into existence, though in 2008 only a handful of those were still active.
[edit]Popularity

Some third-party servers claim to maintain high numbers of active accounts (upwards of 60,000 active accounts), online players (upwards of about 500 to 1000 average), and content (between 6 and 7 million items), rivaling Electronic Arts servers[2][3][4][5]. It is possible to find complete and well-populated servers emulating the world as it was in the days before the Renaissance expansion pack as well as servers that provide support for all expansion packs to date. Some also provide a unique experience. The original branch of the popular RunUO server emulator will not be supporting Ultima Online: Kingdom Reborn, so many shards may remain as they are. Sphere, another popular emulator, has limited UOKR support, the same goes for the (less widespread) POL.
