Yeah, there is actually a whole lot more than 500p total in the game. Probably somewhere in the double (or even triple) digit trillions if you added every gold piece everyone in the game has.Is 500p UO gold really floating around in UO currency? *hangs head low in disgrace while looking at my bank balance*. Well I am gonna start collecting the gold from the errant mongbat that shows up on my doorstep daily!
I'd sure be happy to go to an NPC and just have all my gear repaired for a cost...UO needs a better gold sink!
This can't be stated enough.@ivester, your tactics for purchasing items, trading, and just general communication is unacceptable to me.
Was thinking the same... and if they have.. oh my god.. what have we done to UODoes any ONE person have 500p in liquid gold not tied up in rares? This sale seems unlikely to happen any time soon, cool looking gates though.
I remember the first time I saw them, they were cool but I thought the hole in the floor that kicked me way out into the boonies was cooler, lol.
Tax on having a keep or castle is not fair some of us worked hard to own one. You have to think that some people that own them are poor I have about 10 million gold in game so if the tax was put in I would lose the castle. If you want to bring taxes into the game then they will need to tax everyone just like they do in real life. I pay taxes in two countries just because I was born in one and left. If they added taxes into the game I would quickly leave uo for good and am sure others would.Every NPC reward and monster kill mints money into the game out of thin air. If gold sinks don't take enough out again it grows. If they add alternate keep/castle designs to the classic house menu as mentioned in another thread it would be a good time to tax the rich(keep/castle owners) without impacting the new player! At this point, and with a limited number of places in game for those, it would have to be a significant tax, in the 1P range, to make a dent.
Nobody likes to get taxed but it would add a bit of prestige to showing one of the alternate castles so there is some value there too.
Anyway, I tried to go see the gates again, the place is private now?
It was a success in theory, but a fail with all the backstage gossip shenanigans. Interesting on how some people were outbid by 1 gold. Lucky coincidences I guess. Same would happen there.How much did the new mag house lottery take out of the game?
A maLas new Castle design could do the same
Taxes would be good in theory. Major PR problems..so many old keeps, castles would fall due to inactivity in actually playing and just paying accounts to keep things standing. Would be a disaster and hundreds would cancel. Even though I would be for a gold sink, that's a particularly bad one. Gold sinks all sound nice, but if you add super high priced things, poor people get mad. If it's cheap..it's pointless. Lose lose imoTax on having a keep or castle is not fair some of us worked hard to own one.

Wasn't the New Mag plot thing a lottery? or was it an auction?It was a success in theory, but a fail with all the backstage gossip shenanigans. Interesting on how some people were outbid by 1 gold. Lucky coincidences I guess. Same would happen there.

Umm... ok, I guess I have to respond to this, as I'm the only one that owns said unique moongates other than the deflated half-gate that is a 1/3.
There are three unique gates all created by Mesanna at her events. The one you are talking about is from her Napa event. I own it now and it's displayed next to the others in my castle on Atlantic. The castle should be public. But, yes, we are talking about the same items.Was there only two in existence? There was a guy that had one on Napa for years. A castle somewhere on ice isle, if I remember right. It's been awhile.
Where each of these gates droped at different events? did it drop in the pack or given out?Here's a description of what we are talking about:
View attachment 62947
- West: "Mesanna's Blood Donation Services" - no special effect
- Middle: "Death Gate" - Teleports you to Brit Crossroads and says "Do not enter if you do not want to die!"
- East: "My Pets Are Hungry, Join Us For Dinner!!!!" - Sparkles the first time you walk through then gives a message that the gate has already been used.
- North: "Mesanna's Blood Donation Gate" - 1/3 non unique gate - no special effect
Don't take it to heart. It's the internet. Once someone says something negative or witty, it's like a feeding frenzy for anyone with an opinion! There is no need to defame. A simple response would have generated a simple conversation, but with an unneeded response came bashing a galore...after seeing so many people that dislike me on here for my poor communication skills I will not return. I never talked bad about anyone in this site or held a grudge toward anyone. I didn't post confidential stuff about this site or try to bring it down. I was hoping a moderator would catch the negativity toward me. I can not type as well as others so I cant get my words across right sometimes so I give up. I have always tried my best to be a part of this community but I see I do not fit well in here. I have made many of you guys upset at me for communication reasons and other reasons. I apologize to you all. Last raresfest I was called out for ruining collections and now that I am searching for other people with items I desire again I am shut down for my efforts. The last item was a 15 plat offer on a knavery hole I thought I had it bought for 15 plat but since me and the person couldn't communicate on icq he could see my adding of him but still couldn't see my texts. clops stepped in and saif he wanted 17.5 plat for the hole I told him I would pass I asked nails to find me a hole and he found me clops hole for 15 plat . so I had ask nails to talk to clops about the gates because my efforts of buying the knavery hole fell through dealing withclops friend (who is now helping him sell his items) and he didn't offer his hole he had forsale to me the first time. soooooooo my logic was nails obviously has more pull with clops then me so please ask him for me and so nails did and he said that he didn't want 15 plat for it now he wanted 50 plat for it . so I posted this hoping to get a hold of someone that would have maybe 1 of the 4 for sale.
In no way have I every purposely went out of my way to hurt some one but it always seems to slap me in the face I do not communicate well especially typing. again I APOLIGIZE
Wrong. You could have communicated with me here OR icq. All I heard is you saying you were trying to get a hold of me. I AM NOT hard to locate, especially when I was replying to YOUR thread. You could have bought the hole had you even PM'd me here or went through your friend who was icqing me. But that is not what this post is about. I have no hard feelings toward you. It didn't matter one way or another to me who bought the navrey hole.after seeing so many people that dislike me on here for my poor communication skills I will not return.
