The official UO: Kingdom Reborn website is up. We suggest you to visit the overview section and of course the "before and reborn" area, where you will find some before and after comparisons.
From the Overview section: Upgraded Graphics Experience Ultima Online like never before. The MMO that started it all celebrates its 10th anniversary with a stunning graphical overhaul that takes advantage of new technology while retaining that classic UO look. The makers of Ultima Online have gone back to the original concept designs for the game to rebuild the world - every rock, every creature, every item, and every effect - with painstaking detail. It is a world truly reborn!
