Not even a house is going to induce me to play Seige.

As Freja said, it is not for everyone, but if you can get over the losing all your stuff thing, and getting killed anywhere thing, it's a really fun place to be.

I've been looking in Siege lately, just because if I find it's fun I can now look forward to someday placing a house there - though it'll be a fair while off with Siege prices for everything, and my primary 'commitment' for UO is always going to be Europa. Still, it's been interesting so far....
gimme a shout...ill slip ya some funds for a small one to get ya on the siege map!

1k is easy made, even for a newbie with no skill. Take a look at the stall (Bazaar) vendors in New Magincia, they buy most stackable.
Find some sheeps and a dagger, shear the sheeps to get wool, find a spin and a loom and make bolt of clothes.
10 piles of wool = 30 balls of yarn = 6 bolt of clothes a 300gp = 1800gp
Find some deers, kill the hinds, 10 hinds = 80 piles of leather a 25gp = 2000gp
Go to Coveteus, kill the vampirebats, that loot the headless miners gems and then loot some gems before the bats do it. 10 gems a avg 200gp = 2000gp
I've never been a fan of Siege Perilous because I don't like dying and getting drylooted. But I had been growing tired of Legends as of late and actually set my account to not renew at the end of this current cycle. However, I went to SP to check it out more fully since I was able to finally make a house instead of always being a target for thieves/murderers. Having a house, even my tiny 7x7, is good for having a respite from the craziness of SP.
That being said, while it has only been a week, I haven't visited Legends at all, and I've been spending all my time on SP and can honestly say I am really enjoying myself. If you go into it with the mentality that you will be killed and looted it's easier to acclimate yourself to the shard. The number one rule of SP is 'don't carry or equip anything you can't afford to lose'. This is why I decided to make a thief--because they generally can run around naked and still utilize their skill-set. That, and because I've never made a thief before since on production shards you can't do much other than steal artifacts that decrease in value by the day.
There's also a certain excitement in knowing that if I put up a vendor (in New Magincia!), and sell wood, ingots, leather, etc., there will actually be a demand for them. And what people fail to mention I think, is that you really don't need as much gold on SP since there isn't much to buy. No one is going around with uber-million gold suits but instead using Shame gear and their precious Siege-Blessed sword/bow/whatnot.
Also of note, and I think people probably won't believe this until they actually visit SP, is that the people I've met so far have been really, really nice! I've gotten gold and armor, a soulstone fragment, and even an advanced character token, all simply because I was new. Now that's just crazy. So I'd say to all the naysayers and doubters: just give it a try. The worst that will happen is you die and never return, but the best that could happen is that you find a really fun community of people with a totally different playstyle!

What about me?
Good to have you!
5 years ago I came to Siege myself as the last act of my UO carreer:
I had established myself on 3 different shards, earned everything I ever wanted to own and killed every mob there was in the game (and on Oceania every player that made his/her way to fel)....so basically it was just like: "ok been there done that nothing new to do you will quit next months".....and here I am still playing, having fun and happy that new ppl start enjoying UO again in a way that it was meant to be played at the start!
Welcome! To you and all that follow!

Has anyone transffered a house on siege to a house that already has one on a production shard? Just want to make sure all is working ok before I transfer mine.
Yes I have transferred two Siege houses to accounts with houses on production shards. No problems. I just need to know if I can transfer a siege house to a grandfathered account.

Thanks for the reply!! As for your question, I would e-mail Messanna or post it in the ask devs section here.
Good idea. Thank you
yes.
confirmed earlier this week.
This post from Fogsbane should answer that question
http://community.stratics.com/threads/siege-houses.300910/page-2#post-2283390
Thanks for the offer, but first I need to spend more time there deciding if I like the place - I'm not keen to take a house spot that a more enthusiastic fan of Siege could use. I may get back to you if I find it's fun playing there though, if I don't manage to become rich enough in the process
Right now, there is room for more, so lets see, if it get a problem, then Mesanna will have to help us
