Current Status of Abyss Houses

(Note: The following information needs in-game verification.)
Ranger House: This is a public house that is linked to the first Luna house outside of the east side of the Luna moongate, north side of the road. There should be several house teleporters there and also a "hole" locked down that takes you directly to Navrey.
Warden House: This is a private house.

Doesn't look like anyone has done this one yet.. though maybe I missed one..
But the first house outside of Luna East Gate on the north side of the road is a private home owned by Creator.. His sign says "Go Away"

Thanks, I'll pester the person who gave me the information and see if maybe I just misinterpreted it or what. You're not aware of any other house with a teleporter tile to the Ranger House?

Im the owner of the warden house of europa. Theres one thing missing on your post, my house is tiled connected to Alliance Shop in Luna too.

Hi, Raistlin. Can you provide coordinates for that shop, if it's convenient? Thanks.

I noticed for Atlantic's Warden house you have "...near/at (?) Goodman's Rune Library..."

So to clear up your question mark: The teleporter tile is on the ground floor of Goodman's, directly behind the steps up to the 2nd floor and directly in front of the Ter Mur runebooks section.

I keep adding info because I've been doing almost nothing but hunting in the Abyss the past few months (just now got around to going down there) so I use both of these houses on Atlantic several dozens times every couple days.

Thanks, Cogniac!

Tina on Oceania there is a house with a TP on its porch at the North gate of luna that takes you to the first abyss house there is another tp there. It takes you to the 2nd near the rat/trash area.

Yeah, I think that's Ax's Mall house. Thanks!

The Auction House is specifically the "LOST Auction House" (Legion of Sosaria Traders), though the auctioneer is currently having issues for having time for the auction (might be changing nights soon). Pandarus is the son of the Legion of Sosaria alliance head, but not an active part of the auction (other than spending money at it and occasionally submitting items). Interesting note is that the site was once one of the burning houses from the big mass banning, and that Pandarus (who was 12 or 13 at the time) just happened to stumble on it as it was being taken down manually (and Mesanna and others were there invisible, quashing script-placers as they appeared, to let the first REAL person to show up place). He ran back to the bank, got a placement tool, placed, and the EMs appeared and congratulated him - even more so when they realized it was one of the youngest players on the shard that stumbled onto the opportunity.

Thanks, Basara. I added the mention of LOST. I thought it might be connected with them, but wasn't quite sure. That's a neat story about who Pandarus is and how he managed to get that lot!

Nope.. wish I did..

The house outside of the Luna moongate North side of the road is owned by Trent Gheed who is a poster here on Stratics under the name "Gheed" and his house is most definitely public and the teleporter to the Ranger house is almost directly under the house sign.

The house owner on the sign is "Morrigan"

 

[Cogniac]

...ATLANTIC...a rune library in Malas that is located between Hanse's Hostel and the bridge south of Luna.

"A House Sign
Name: EK Vendors - Your Portal To The Abyss"
Owner: Cameo
This House Is Open To The Public"

Guess it's a vendor house and a rune library. No front doors so no way to get locked out. Turns out it's only 2-3 screens north of Hanse's Hostel, directly on the road. I had never really paid attention.

Yup just a screen away from Luna moongate. I think he probably went to the gate on the outer east wall instead of the inner gate.

Which is my fault for the way I worded things (i.e., referring to the east Luna gate, meaning the "gate" in the outer wall). I'll get it fixed here momentarily.

Thats what I did alright... I found the right house now.
Thanks ya'll.

 

[Lord Nabin]

Only 3 tele's now. The third goes to Nabin's Luna house.

I use to have a teleporter set up to the other Abyss house but it seems to not work at the moment. :-( Thanks Promathia for allowing people access straight in from Luna I see it being used a lot.

 

[Tina Small]

I've updated the information for Siege Perilous in the list included in the first post (the Warden house is now public--thank you, Sprago). If any other entries need changing, please post accordingly.

 

[Roland Of Gilead]

how do we go about getting one of those "holes directly to navery" on europa!!! that would be coolsville

 

[sablestorm]

Cool thread. After this can you do a thread on other housing contest spots. If I recall correctly, weren't the two castle spots east of Vesper given away as contest rewards once upon a time? I know they are empty on Pacific and players can't place houses there, but what of other shards?

Well, I was going to update the Magincia census I did in mid-April but haven't quite gotten motivated enough to do it yet. I have a feeling the situation has gotten worse since then. ( Welcome to Google Docs Legend explaining the colors is on the second sheet.)

The only castle placements that I've ever heard of in connection with contests are in Malas and I'm not even sure how many locations that contest included because it happened before I began playing UO. I thought I'd read "five" for the number of locations once or twice, but there are only two specific locations in Malas where I have actually seen castles placed on various shards. If someone can provide more information about these castle placement contests, I might be willing to get the ball rolling with checking to see how many of the castles are still up.

I went and googled "ultime online contest win a castle" and got these two links:

ORIGIN - Ultima Online - Main

and

ORIGIN - Ultima Online Lord Blackthorn's Revenge

The LBR one is interesting. In the Refer a Friend section, it says you can no longer win a castle but still receive free game time for referring a friend. I don't recall a castle contest for referring friends. I wonder if this was for the Vesper Castle Plots....

The first link says there were to be 5 castles per shard in Malas, excluding the Japanese shards. If you include Arirang, Balhae, and Formosa as non-Japanese shards and also include Origin and Lake Austin (not quite sure when those shards were started), there would be 19 non-Japanese shards, for potentially 95 castles. However, the list at the bottom of that page only lists 36 winners. How many won more than one castle? Or were there really only 36 castles placed on those 19 shards from this contest?

If so that's somewhat sad considering I know for a fact that I entered that contest... I did NOT win... So my thought is if there were only 36 given out what happened to all the other entries?

There were some interesting details in this locked thread from 2010 that kind of explain what happened: DEV's: Can you finish this contest? | Stratics Forums .

Hey, I hadn't looked at this thread in a while and realized I never added your information. Is your Abyss house still open and is it still linked to a house in Luna? If yes, can you provide coordinates or directions for that house? Thanks.

Also, does anyone have any changes or additions for the list in the first post?

 

[LordDrago]

I have not noticed any changes to the Chessie houses

Thank you, as always.

Thats what I did alright... I found the right house now.
Thanks ya'll.

Catskills
Inside the Farie house there are 2 teleporters to different Luna houses, one to a Tokuno house, one to a Tram Cove house and one to which I don't have access.

The house near the Cavern of Discarded is currently private.

Legends is still Public and the telepad is in the Lunas house at the juncture of South & East Streets...
