How to Join Ironveil

Public Alpha · Getting Started Guide

Download the official launcher, create a verified IronveilID and take your first steps from Moonglow into the Academy.

Important: Use the launcher every time you play

The launcher is part of the game installation. It checks for updates before play and keeps the launcher, client and Ironveil game data synchronized. Keep UOIronveilLauncher.exe and always start Ironveil from it.

Step by Step: From download to character creation

  1. 01

    Download the launcher

    Download the official Windows launcher from Ironveil. Keep the launcher after installation because it is also the updater and the correct way to start the game.

    Open Download →
  2. 02

    Install or update

    Open UOIronveilLauncher.exe, choose a writable installation folder and select Install / Update. Wait until the launcher says that Ironveil is ready to play.

  3. 03

    Start from the launcher

    For this first session and every later session, open the launcher and select Play UO Ironveil. Never use ClassicUO.exe as your normal shortcut.

  4. 04

    Create your IronveilID

    In the client, enter your email and password and select Create IronveilID. Enter the verification code sent to your email, then sign in.

  5. 05

    Choose an account slot

    One verified email protects Account 1 and Account 2, with five character slots on each. Create a new game account, or link existing.

  6. 06

    Create your character

    Choose your name and appearance. Ironveil has no permanent class locks: your trained skills and stats define your build.
