Chesapeake enjoys both a lively PVP scene as well as an active Roleplaying (RP) community. One of the oldest RP communities in all of Ultima Online resides on Chesapeake, PaxLair, has been blessed and recognized by Lord British personally. This player-run community has existed since early 1998 and remains active to this day.
Throughout the shards of Ultima Online, Chesapeake is well-known for the biennial Chesapeake Olympics and pioneering the use of silent auctions at rare festivals.
