OK... It's time to add things up.

Currently, Kelmo's bid is:

135 Mil Gold on Siege at 3:1 exchange rate = 395 Mil.
620 Mil Gold on Atlantic
An Atlantic Ice-Island Trammel Castle valued at one-billion.

Total bid is just over 2 billion.

*tosses ball back into Baby-Doll's court*

Are you ready to sell now Freelsy?

Outstanding Job!

*salutes*
I'm in stand-by mode just in case.

That's a very good offer.

Would be nice to see the SP gold donated to Kelmo to buy teleporter tiles for the new public building.

Re: Official Abyss Home Auction Thread

And if Freesly wants me to transfer there I will. I have no problem paying for the trip there , Ill make it a shopping trip and bring back things for LS. If there is good deals to be had. So np there.
This right here is why I said something in the first place, if I hadnt this potential part of the deal could of never came up and thus asty would of gotten a slightly worse deal..


Thanks sprago.

(Please note that, it is true that I would personally never trust 700 Mil to an EA XFer with packys, but as I said, its because I am paranoid, but on the flip side, that exact same paranoia has prevented me from being "Screwed Over" at any point during my time on UO)

Lets say its at .50 Cent a Pop, 700 Mil is looking at 350 Dollars.. There is no way that *I* would risk that in packys during a transfer, some might, but guess what.. IF for some crazy reason something Did happen.. I would of been prepared.. They would not.
Well thats not true, just because that point was not spoken out on the forum does not mean it wasn't already thought of disscussed and put in hold til end of auction. (or to wait n see how things unfold)

I move Gold all the time and have never lost gold or an item due to transfer.

There is a simple stupid answer to this.

When you arrive to your new shard. You do not unpack right away. You run with all your items still packed to your destination and then unpack.

Never ever had a problem in 13 years.

Re: Official Abyss Home Auction Thread

a castle on ice is worth a billion ? seriously ?


i knew prodos economy was fukt . but wow.


asty may be within his rights to stick to 1 for 3 rate ( ' cause he did say that in the first post )

but what is he really getting ?


does a mil buy there what it does here ?

have we EVER sold a luna house for more than 100 mil ?
yet on prodo apparently a luna house will bring 900 mil (at the drop of a hat)


sorry but, good lord asty . think of what you're getting.

You are only considering an LS Luna house as well. A full sized Luna house on Atlantic would fetch much more. Also a Castle on any facet for sale is very rare.

Only on Atlantic, as far as I know. Castle's are rare on Production Shards, especially in Tram. Atlantic has such a high population that they are at an even bigger premium.

This has been an incredible experience. Words are hard to come by. My mind is spinning so this post may ramble a bit.

As noted above. Siege does indeed have heart. I will review my notes very soon. So many Siege folk gave so much. Guilds, alliances and individuals. They freely gave over hard earned treasures galore. Just gave them to me. No guarantee we would have the chance to own this house. None at all.

Trust me, and the folks that know me, know I was all stressed out.

My hat is off to the Siege shard. Many of you gave much, too much... I hope you all recover soon. *chuckles*

I assure the Abyss house will be available to you.

While Siege has heart, so do many players of this game. Word spread and many listened.

For many Siege is aberration. Some few, know what it truly is. Those folks came through in a huge way. The target shards were Siege and Atlantic. Folks from many shards worked together to make this happen.

They made it happen for you Siege. You made it happen Siege. Gonna be a hell of a party in the Abyss...

More later. Credits will be due.

Well it took TWO shards to bring me down, lol BUT CONGATULATIONS KELMO.
3 shards... lil ole Baja helped too. Who knows... someday we might need a hand too.

Please don't take this personally Baby Doll. This was done for Kelmo and company. He's a good friend and we're just returning his kindness.

yes indeed . well fought baby doll . you came strong . it took allot to beat .
dont take it personally , we pretymuch all know kelmo is doing this for the benefit of the shard .

it does make me feel reassured tho to see siege come alive when something worth doing comes around.

anyone seen shardoney lateley ... (sorry)

id also like to say a big thanks to all the off shard friends who helped out .
perhaps siege blood does run deep thru the outer shards.

and finally to asty , thanks for keeping it for public so long.

Sour grapes much? The best offer won, as it should be. David beat Goliath. The hometown boy beat the outsider, at least that's how I saw it.

Congrats Kelmo.

The house is NOT Kelmo's, he is merely the custodian. The house belongs to Siege, it will be public and linked to the Umbra hub.

very True!

What help was given to Kelmo was given for Siege, not just one Player. People that know Kelmo, know that he will be a wonderful custodian.

Side note: If you say outsider becuase the gold was comming from LS, just remember this it 4 other prodo shards payed for it. Are people from those 4 shards and play siege as well, outsiders? Or just me?

:) Don't give it a second thought Baby Doll.

We are ALL outsiders here !
Sooo ya fit right in. *group hug*

If we were in with some IN crowd ...we'd all probably be playin elsewhere on some other way more popular shard *FULL TIME,* or playing some thing else entirely, or whatever is the IN new 'game of the month' !

Come to think of it playin a 13yr. old UO, is being a unique, outsider 'gamer' ! :)

Heck I am an *outsider* I never have fit in with any IN crowds ever anywhere, never even wanted to fit in, with the IN crowds. :wall:

But some few folks here, have friends ALL over the place,
but them few, well they are very very fortunate. ;)

Greetings Baby Doll,

It was a tough challenge for all and I am sorry to see some of the somewhat spiteful comments from both sides once things were over. I'll never understand that sort of thing.

You handled yourself very well, before, during, and after the event and showed yourself to be a true class-act. :)

If I can ever do anything for you on Atlantic, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Safe Journeys and hope to see you on Siege some day (yes, I play there too occasionally).

Best Wishes,

Tazar

Babydoll is a class act. Just saying. not many would go head to head with me.

She brought her game, and never got ugly.

I just had more friends. You can never trump more friends.

Too those of you dismissing other shards... Where do you think the gold came from?

Petra, Terry and I raised alot. The folks of Siege gave a lot. Some all they had. I am broke. All of gold is gone. Even the donated gold from players that quit. all gone.

I am kinda sure many others are broke as well. When you are low on chips... all in is not a bad call some times.

Did anybody else imagine Kelmo twirling his porn 'stache as he reached for his belt buckle while saying this?

No? Just me? ...What is wrong with me?
