hmm okay, if it's not per person what's to stop someone from opening trial accounts and spamming TC1's stone with them? Really it should be limited by individual or IP address just to stop cheaters. Most of us are savvy enough to find a way to get more entries without paying if it comes to that. Then there are the ultra crazy folks who will not only have 10 accounts but will use a script to create and log in on 9,999 more accounts so they can get a castle. People will move heaven and earth to win castles and stuff because they think they are making money at it.
I am not merely joking, there are some folks who play this game and can't figure out that holding on to some castle, or Luna plot with multiple accounts long term is a bad investment. I personally know such a foolish fellow who wants an ungodly sum of money for a property in Luna that he doesn't use. Why the precious cost? He's got multiple properties, on multiple accounts and has been trying to sell each of them for a decade, in the meantime he's spent some $155.88 a year on each property/account *10 accounts *10 years in subscription fees. A serious long term multi accounter, say 10 accounts for 20 years is paying how much for Ultima Online, $30,000? Now I understand why this game makes money!
If you're giving a castle out to someone like that Mesanna...make sure it's a broken down, double-wide, complete with a chevy pickup on blocks in the front yard, in the Felucca savage swamps. They will try to sell it for billions of gold and pay thousands on the account because most people wouldn't want it! Seriously, some servers still have castles precisely as described that have been owned by GMs, to be given away, for over a decade! I wanna know, why haven't I received my skeeter-filled Cymidei dream castle yet? Entered the contest years ago, no winner was declared, I am the last man standing and demanding, give me, give me! *snickers*
