Overdrive
Introduction
In March 2022, UOForever launched a new shard called Overdrive. Overdrive is a copy of UOForever, but has a different PvP style. Overdrive’s PvP is based on the Sphere emulator which allows you to move while casting. This makes Magery extremely powerful and typically how most people fight. Melee is still very powerful but is used more as a supplemental form of fighting.
UOForever & Overdrive’s code are synced so any updates made will be pushed to both servers simultaneously.
