I posted this in another thread, but feel like it belongs here -
Might be difficult to accomplish, but if the new expansion video/info makes it to the front page of reddit.com/r/gaming I am positive we would see a HUGE influx of new players. This should be the ultimate target for UOF advertising. Easier subreddits to gain exposure in would be "/r/pcgaming" or "/r/gaming4gamers". You could also consider paying to put advertisements directly on the sidebar.
These subreddits have a massive amount of daily page views and tend to be comprised of people in the prime UO demographic/age. As a bonus, they also tend to be in favor of sandbox type games and nostalgia-related posts.
You could really help get these posts to the top by introducing an incentive to current UOF players to sign in and upvote the post / leave comments. Something along the lines of "if we get a certain number of upvotes on the post, everyone gets ___"
I've already spoken to multiple new players who said they started playing on UOF because they saw the /r/ultimaonline post, and that subreddit only has ~700 subscribers. Imagine how many new players we would get if we had exposure on a subreddit with 4 million subscribers (and is a default subreddit, so there's a good chance it would be on the main frontpage).
