The Ultima Online: Age of Shadows microsite officially launched this week at www.uo.com/aos. The site will feature weekly updates on the development of Age of Shadows and a weekly "Spotlight Feature" that will give an in-depth overview of one AoS feature. This week's spotlight is the Custom House Design Tool.

Scheduled to ship in February 2003, Ultima Online: Age of Shadows is the most ambitious expansion in the award-winning UO series. In Age of Shadows, fans will be introduced to two new professions and an exciting new realm to explore and settle. In addition to the expanded availability of housing, a 'House Design Tool' will also be included in this latest version.
