Hey all, player since launch and still got the same account.

few questions:
- are their any discord channels where the community is coming together?
- last I played was 2015ish. Just logged in and I still got my house. How is that possible? I did pay always for my account but not the recent years.
- so happy to be back once again and hope to see you guys around.

If you still have a house you've been paying they fall after 90 days

I just returned since 2005! I had a capped out warrior, but now when I log in he has nothing on him, and I have no possessions. When I first logged in it said there were rewards for veteran players, how do I get these rewards? It was on the screen as a scroll and i clicked through them, said something about halloween. How do I get the veteran items when coming back to UO? Also how do I switch a characters shards.

No not free there are endless journey accounts (old accounts reopened after xxx days have passed) but they are not allowed houses so that's not the case with you

Only PAID Accounts can place or own a house. If your house is still there I would check what ever bank account that was paying for that account. Did you get more Vet Rewards while you were gone? Check your paper doll Character Profile to see how many months your account is. Have you entered the house that you say is yours and opened stuff up. Double Click the House sign and see if it is yours.

yup it all checks out! still a bit lost on where to start and if have to refresh my builds/armor. but slowly but surely getting into it again. Super happy account is intact. Last thing I did was sell all my houses etc and just keep 1 place and I did prepay.

only thing that is lost are my vendors in luna. I guess nothing I can do there right?

AM not a vendor house or anything but i think there is a window for the time before it belongs to the owner of the house. If you did not own the house then it became theres after that time. Maybe check with one of the luna vendors @Captn Norrington

Correct, when a rented vendor falls a one week timer starts where the vendor owner can reclaim the vendor stuff from the house sign. If they don’t, at the end of the timer, all items and gold from the vendor get put in the house owner’s moving crate and they can do whatever they want with it. The most common cause of that is the vendor running out of gold and no longer being able to pay the daily fee the game charges.

Every house owner handles it differently, personally I store their stuff waiting for them to come back for about 6 months, and after that I’ll start using it under the assumption they’re not coming back. If they ever do return, I try to pay them however much we decide it was worth.

If the house owner does not own the vendor then it will go into OSI does not say it now. Was the case a few weeks ago on atl. the house owner came back but was locked out of there house had there other accounts vendors on it the vendors disappeared into sign then the timer started again. And just for you all know when a house with vendor drops they will not go into the barrel. I have been to a few that only had vendors with items on it and no barrels appeared. So if you see a rare or a item you like on the vendor just buy it because it will not be in the barrel. SO TAKE NOTE ALL OF YOUS THAT USE VENDORS TO DISPLAY YOUR RARES THEY WILL BE DELETED.
