Doing the census of houses in Magincia made me think of trying to find out how many of the houses in the Abyss are still standing and which ones are open to the public. As hard as it might be to believe, it has been almost exactly two years since the conclusion of the event that awarded these houses. A copy of the original, partial list of winners is here: UO Herald archive! - Ultima Online Stratics ▶ TGN.TV - Get more views! .
I think the winners of the Warden of the Abyss quest were rewarded with the plot near the Cavern of the Discarded and the winners of the Ranger of the Abyss quest were rewarded with the plot near the pixie spawn, but I might have that backwards.
Unfortunately, I fear that much as I might enjoy doing the research for pulling together a list like this (haha), it's still beyond my capabilities on many shards. So I'm wondering if folks might be willing to add the following information to this thread for the shards where they play:
(1) Are both houses still standing?
(2) Is either or both house public?
(3) Is either or both house linked by teleporter pad to a public house outside of the Abyss? If yes, please provide approximate coordinates/location directions for that house.
(4) If an Abyss house is public, does it offer any other useful amenities, e.g., an ankh for rezzes, a soul forge for unraveling junk, crystal portals or rune books, vendors for restocking essentials, etc.?
I'll consolidate the responses in this post if people want to provide the information. Maybe Petra could move this thread and make it a sticky post the Stygian Abyss forum if we can get the list pretty complete?
Here's an alphabetical list of the shards just to hold their places as we fill up the list:
ARIRANG
Ranger House:
Warden House:
ASUKA
Ranger House: Public house with a publicly accessible luck statue and crystal portal, as well as an NPC vendor selling potions and recall scrolls. It has some teleporter tiles in it that are linked to other houses, but none seemed to be usable by the general public.
Warden House: Private house.
ATLANTIC
Ranger House: This is an evil-themed public house. It is linked by teleporter tile to the EK Vendors House, which is 2-3 screens north of Hanse's Hostel, just next to the road.
Warden House: This is a public house set up as a rares museum, although sometimes the doors are locked. There are three publicly accessible teleporter links to other houses that are always accessible because they're outside the front doors. They go to: (1) the Teleporter Hub at Goodman's Rune Library (in front of the Ter Mur books and behind the steps to the 2nd floor), (2) Tazar's place, and (3) Nabin's Luna house. There is also a "hole" that will take you to Navrey.

It is linked to a small but charming house right next to the Trammel Yew moongate. (Note: The teleporter tiles connecting the houses are the chargeable type, so it would probably be much appreciated by the owner if regular users of the teleporter tiles occasionally dropped gate spell scrolls in the mailbox at the ranger house.)
Warden House: This is a public house with a publicly accessible ankh of sacrifice, luck statues, crystal portal, soul forge, regular forge/anvil, elven stove, and NPC vendors. It is linked by teleporter tile to Sara & Jinx's museum, which is the first house east of the Luna stable.
