[OREOGL]

So we should expect this sometime in September?

 

[Angel of Sonoma]

yay, i love contests!

 

[Goodmann]

Got the perfect spot for it!

 

[Dot_Warner]

UO.com should sell lithographs, t-shirts, mugs (or beer steins?), those pewter dragon statues, ankh keychains, etc. Hell, run it through one of the online print shop places and there'd be no overhead.

 

[Deep Ellum Dan]

Yay! Now here is some great welcomed news. I would love to start seeing some swag becoming available. I miss my old cloth map that came with my old copy of UO and the ability to even purchase various items such as shirts and misc. gear would also be welcomed.

I agree. I can guarantee I'd buy it. My wife would buy it too. In fact, she'd probably buy it before me.

 

[Deep Ellum Dan]

And on that note, don't make everything with the cartoony graphics. I would love the logo mostly but would consider a few other types of graphics on items.

 

[JDs]

Where do we sign up?

 

[Deep Ellum Dan]

Is it just me, or are these newsletters not being sent to our emails? I looked in all my folders, even spam and nothing...

 

[MalagAste]

Where do we sign up?

UO.com right under the big dragon in the center of the screen(The one with the Play Now Button) there is a place that says "Sign up for UO Newsletter" Simply put your email addy in there and hit Sign up..... I think it says The Herald on the left.

 

[Slayvite]

Makes me nervous when companies start giving away the family silver........

 

[Uriah Heep]

*wonders if this follow thru is gonna be like the town banks, and the malas castle giveaways and contests*

 

[Deep Ellum Dan]

I believe we might be seeing a new chapter in the life of UO and Broadsword. While there have been many things in the past to make all of us have certain precognitive thoughts, I can hope for everyone to give Broadsword the benefit of the doubt and let's start a fresh page.

 

[kelmo]

I want a beer stein.

 

[Drakelord]

I vote with Kelmo!

 

[MisPrinTed LiEs]

Looking forward to these upcoming contests. Should be great fun!

 

[Merlin]

The 15th Anniversary prints were a run of 300. If I remember correctly they were offered to veteran accounts first and sold pretty quickly. Some were withheld from sale for future promotions, such as this one. (I seem to remember them stating that explicitly when the prints were first announced for sale.)

Anyway, I kind of doubt they are giving away a framed print, but that would be really nice.

Now, if the next promotion is to give away the end table that inspired the Davies Locker, then I'd join you in worrying.

 

[Deep Ellum Dan]

I want the black mug with with UO logo on Mesanna's desk

 

[Longtooths]

That lithograph is sick...I want it!

 

[Deep Ellum Dan]

So it needs to see a doctor?

 

[MalagAste]

That lithograph is sick...I want it!

Bought me one when they went on sale sometime after that last meet up there... I love it. (Wish I could have gone to the meet up more though).

 

[superfrog]

So we should expect this sometime in September?

FYI
"A lithograph is an authorized copy of an original work created by the artist himself or other skilled craftsmen. A lithograph is rarely worth more than the original artwork it reproduces, but if the print quality is excellent and the production numbers are low, it may still have significant value in the art world." - ebay

 

[Yadd of Legends]

What's a contest? Random drawing?

Uh...ok? Was this for me, or just for the general thread?

 

[Yadd of Legends]

I just wanted the definition on record with your information on the number of copies made (300 and a certain number more that nobody really knows for sure). I'm not so sure "lithograph" is a term everybody just tosses around off the cuff.

 

[Arroth Thaiel]

Ah cool.

I wonder if they actually just had 300 and withheld some from that stock for future promotions, or if they had the 300 numbered and then additional non-numbered copies for future use?

 

[MalagAste]

I love the lithograph but I think I would be 1,000X more excited to get one of those super spiffy 15th anniversary robes. Just hinting.

 

[Fridgster]

I want a beer stein.

With the uo logo as the handle.
