Can You Imagine What SureAI Is Going To Do With Garfield?
Ok, the plot thickens with this:

Assuming there's truth in this article, I'm stoked.

I cant tell you much about my source for this; he (she?) used a dummy email address and submitted the message via the site contact form. The IP address he came to the site with is apparently local to Romania; beyond that, I know nothing about him. Or her. Or it (I mean, if a machine can win at Jeopardy!, a machine can probably leak a screenshot, right?).
Regardless, the message he sent was pretty short. In fact, it was just a link to this image:
That sure looks like Britannia!
The only other thing the email said is: online RPG. Not a lot to go on, I realize.
But theres at least two tantalizing details in the shot. Three, really. The first is that its quite obviously a map of Britannia, and the second is that there are a number of circled locations on the map which seem to be development notes concerning where different towns and landmarks are going to end up being placed.
Lord Britishs castle, for example, is situated on some nice coastal real estate.
Theres also the captivating caption just above the image (which, by the way, appears to be a still from a video embedded in a website). Paul Barnetts name is there, as is the codename (at least, I think its a codename ) Ultima4Ever. Clever ploy, that.
At the same time, this looks like a very high level view of Britannia; I would expect that any game which actually used it would also feature a much better-looking, zoomed-in view for its actual gameplay.
Thoughts, good Dragons and Dragonettes? Does this image comport with known rumours?
Assuming there's truth in this article, I'm stoked.
