It IS ftp...to a point....at least that's what they said WAY back when they had that random interview that hardly anyone knew about.....

Endless trial account with probably the same restrictions and if you want stuff like...housing? Or....going to Fel to do spawns? Then You'd have to sub I guess...but at least you'd get the basics for free...at least that is what I would do....hopefully they explain more at the party..if not then we all wait some more! lol UGH I HATE WAITING!

Houses and boats are not in endless journey. If you have a house, and the account lapses, you can't endless journey for 90 days

So here's a tid-bit. If your account lapses, you will have to wait the house decay time before you can log that account back in as either Endless Journey, or Reactivate it.

What does "lapse" mean?

Does this mean that you won't be able to log into a second instance of the client to do things like transfer items or houses between two accounts?

Messana's interpretation is wonky, but more than one account doing the same thing. Trying to get a classification out of her is something i don't want to do

So if it lapses, you can still reactivate it and keep the house? I see no problem with that. I hope that there's an option to immediately drop your house and become EJ. I could see some people wanting to do that.

@Tina Small For our purposes I think we'll be fine. I think it's referring to multi-boxxing using 3rd party programs.

So as soon as you can no longer log in, your stuff is up for grabs?
Ok let me clarify I'm listening to question and on the forum lol

If you stuff is in the new storage, it's storage wars when the account doesn't get paid for. Storage is a NEW thing, not your bank/house. Endless Journey is 90 days after that moment.

No, you can't save houses after EJ launches. Lapse, and you'll lose your house.

I don't like that one bit personally. I've had my credit card expire and I didn't realize it until I couldn't log into UO. I'd be pissed if I lost a house because of this.

So there is no longer a 90-day delay before a house starts to decay as of the day you can no longer log into an account because you didn't pay the subscription fee? Houses will start to decay immediately as of midnight ET on the day your account closes?

I use gametime codes and renew on the same day I get the e-mail saying that my account expired, so yeah, I don't like that change one bit.

I didn't get that either. I thought you'd have to let the account lapse for 90 days so the house fell before you can do the Endless Journey with that account.

Goblins first, but the requirement for ring or fishing pole will be removed for monster roleplay. It will be an on and off switch with color choices.

So no masks for orcs etc.

What's this about? New playable race or costumes?
