- Explanation of Wolfpack
Wolfpack is an Ultima Online server emulator. There is a long history of different Ultima Online emulators, many being branches of each other and all with their own defining characteristics. Wolfpack is another one of these emulators, and we have chosen a path for the server that gives it a great edge in functionality when compared to other emulators.
Wolfpack now uses Python and XML as a script and definition base. It also uses the QT library for threading and other functions.
