The zig zag one is a blue tree when turned on. They are all grey when turned off.

Holiday Gifts
All veteran characters logging in between Tuesday, December 3, 2019 12:01:00 AM GMT-05:00 and Friday, January 3, 2020 11:59:00 PM GMT-05:00 will receive a 2019 Holiday Gift Token.

Tokens can be redeemed for one of the following,

  • Holiday Wall Art
    • 1 of 3 random designs
    • Crafted by a glassblower from 1 of 26 random cities through Britannia
  • Dove Cage
    • Plays a sound when used
    • Can be dyed with dyetub, natural, and promo dyes
    • Named for one of 43 species of doves
  • Jolly Holiday Tree
    • House Addon for a large Holiday Tree with a ship moat around it
    • Can be dyed with dyetub, natural, and promotional dyes
    • Named after a Britannian Pirate

I thought THP asked for new box colors and they put them in.

As if we need another thing to collect off a list of things with 30+ names.

The devs complain about hoarding and then give us things to hoard twice a year...

:facepalm:
Logic.
Why the sour grapes? We asked the devs a long time ago to minimize the items and they made it so that, generally, all gifts start as a single-item token. What's easier than that? Then we have the choice to sell, trade, keep, or toss. They even made it so older gifts can be redeemed for points in clean-up. I mean, I agree with Poo on taking a step back, but I am just kind of mystified. Was there a recent complaint by the devs or something? :p

What would be even easier if they made said tokens stack. AND convert the old deeds to tokens with appropriate names (some of the old gifts didn't say the year - just Deed for Holiday Gift).

This is just my stuff on one shard. Multiply times like 20 shards. If this stuff stacked - it would be like 15 items. K thx.

Heck I'm still waiting for the heritage tokens to stack.

I think Mesanna would have a stroke if she saw how many I have packed into my houses on GLs... yours are just a drop in the bucket compared to what I have and that's after giving tons away, selling a bunch of them and using tons as deco... and I swore to myself I smack my hands if I ever brought another Heritage token back to GLs...

Just ask man, someone will move your stuff to your home shard. Lot of helpful people here.

But surely doing that on 20 shards is not the devs fault, yeah? I mean, I know that is how it became--people going cross shard and making characters on every shard, and so forth...but...I mean, it is still a player choice. I'm not saying I wouldn't benefit if they made the changes you are proposing. I have a serious hoarding problem in UO, haha. My hoarding is so bad that I am sometimes unable to play the game because I have too many items on my chars XD and mostly because of the gifts.

I sometimes can't do things because I have to spend a day or two "cleaning" houses because sometimes especially around this time of year my houses tell me that I can't put that there because it would exceed the secure storage limit of the house... cant put things in the mailbox because that is full and many other issues... and I have had to go to a shard and bring stuff back home because banks were full and backpacks heavy needed to clean that up.

Has anyone gotten a New Christmas item this year named after their character?

Still no word on the player named items?
when they were on TC, I opened hundreds of them... to get complete list of names.
I didn't get any with my chars names on them.
And I haven't gotten a single one on any production shard.

You can get the wall art with the city names on them.
I know some Governors who like collecting deco with their cities name on them.

And the tree is named after Pirates, which are named after the EM's, PEC and Dev teams real life names

some of the names are just too funny.
looks like my EM partied a lil early for New Years

They really didn't think about some of the name combinations for pirates.

There were a lot of snickers from both male and female players when I mentioned the name of the pirate I killed, "Fat Fist Sarah". In fact, one of the people that I KNOW is a woman that plays was the first to comment that the pirate must have gotten the nickname from her girlfriend.
