Much to the consternation of some U9 fans, a post to the Ultima IX Ascension Discussion Forums announces Origin "will be closing the Official Ultima Ascension Boards, leaving the Technical Solutions forum, the Technical Issues forum, and the Spoilers and Hints forum open as read-only for those who can benefit from the information there." This move came just two days after the release of the most recent patch for the game, though they say they "will be providing solutions in (their) Technical Solutions forum" for software and driver incompatibilities.
