Hi Star
Just my thoughts on this...I neither need nor want your castle, keep, gold, or items. However, if you follow through with your post, and drop the castle and keep as you say, you will be playing to the strengths of those you like the least. There will be many people there trying to place as soon as you drop and the one that wins will most likely be a cheater/scripter. Just wanted you to think about this and perhaps consider giving it to a friend or auctioning it off. Good Luck in the future. I am sorry you have been disillusioned with UO. I have been also several times but always came back.
