Oooh! We get to redecorate the bank!
What fun! Hope lots of people from Oce participate in this one, I know we have some excellent house designers here =)

and here:Good questions, all!
We can accommodate designs that *add* to the structure, but not delete from it. In other words, if you want to add walls, stairs, etc, that's fine.
Details:
* Cannot change terrain (dirt/grass/basically anything with a texture on the floor)
* Cannot change static objects (existing walls, existing items in the bank that are scenery only/can't be interacted with)
The Terrain and Statics are global to all shards because they're part of the map files.
However, in InsideUO, when viewing the tileart, you'll see a section full of floor tiles. These are not terrain, and can be placed on top of it without problems. If you decide you want to redo the floor of the bank - that's fine.
The same goes for walls - you can't *change* the existing walls, but we can easily add walls to the existing bank. All your changes will be local to the shard, and nothing will change on the client.
Keep in mind we'd love to see what you do with the outside as well - that whole area could use some love.
P.S.
All we care about is seeing a final result screenshot and a good description for the design. Don't get caught up in asking what tools you can use - we only suggest InsideUO for browsing the art because it's so handy.
More changes!If you can't highlight it, it's static - it can't be removed. And yes to a question above, this includes the area outside
What they actually say on the herald post now, is if your entry is bigger than 800 x 600 to upload it somewhere and send them a link =) Yay for larger sized imagesHey, a quick reminder for everyone participating:
Make sure you get your entries in before the deadline (January 18th). I understand how excited some of you are, and want to make your design absolutely perfect, but shards without entries will not receive a makeover.
Also, we've relaxed the submission guideline for size and image format - if you need more space to show off, please use it. If the image isn't JPEG, and is too large to send through email, please send us a link to a hosted copy so we can see it.
Thanks!
