The only possible scenario that would not make this lame would be if it were hosted in Fel. [imglink]http://i.imgur.com/QOXXg.gif[/imglink]

I think differently.

Personally, I do not think that PvP is fun or not lame and that non PvP might not be enjoyable.

I think there can well be fun without PvP, personally, I can well enjoy being with others without necessarily trying to attack or fight them in the game.

I think it was a good initiative and I will try to participate, if time will allow me (as weird as it may sound I have less time to play games on holidays...), so as to hang around with fellow players of Ultima Online at a time of Holiday Celebrations.

By the way, Merry Christmas !

Having it in fel would make the event a ghost town, both figuratively & literally.

Wish I could attend, but starting on the 17th, RL family is taking over and not a one of them play UO... so I won't be in the game much until after the Holidays. Take care, and enjoy the festivities! :)

Hope to see as many of the community there as possible.
The staff team have been hard at work preparing for this. In real life we are all busy attending work christmas parties and having social gatherings so it was an easy decision for us staff to create an excuse to hold a similar event in UO especially for the community that we support.

And the recipe is? :)

Ah you can actually buy it at any grocery store. Walmart is actually carrying it and has a larger stock of it. Where I live the the grocery stores sell out as fast as it gets on the shelf.

I prefer the one in the black label. They make a vanilla spice in a red label also but the black label its like zomg when you drink it. Trust me this stuff is super duper delicious. My taste buds have never touched an eggnog that can beat it. Once you drink it, you will never touch another brand.


Found some pics of it....

Let me add its in the refrigerated section not on a regular shelf. Here where I live, its by the milk on the shelves. Just take it home and pour into a glass. :)

You all will love me for it if you haven't tried it :)

I am so glad to see events being planned like this for others to enjoy. Many people are lonely. especially at this time of the year which makes this invitation to Ringing in the Holiday Party SO VERY SPECIAL! It's wonderful that Ultima Online Stratics staff has worked on making this event possible for everyone to enjoy. I wish all who do attend, a very happy time with tons of fun with many friendly folks!

Real life calls me Dec. 18th for a not so happy event so I won't be attending this Party, but I feel this Invitation deserves a great deal of praise.

Thank you for the high praise Jade. I hope that the sad event you have is not of the type I think it is. Regardless I hope that it goes as well as can be expected and that afterwards you and your loved ones have a good holiday season.

Just a note for Ludes and any one else. Although the event starts at 7pm GMT/UK time, 1pm Central/11am Pacific/8pm CET, the festivities don't have a set ending time. So if you come late just shout on the "Stratics event" channel in chat and someone will gate you. Providing of course we are still there :)

If anyone who missed the party would like to go see the houses anyway, here's a map. I recommend a view of Grinch Mountain, and if you're lucky there may even be a little egg nog left down in Mrs Claus's kitchen.

Very tastefully done.. it was cool to see some people I usually only see here.

Eggnog was sure strong though. As usual I drank too much and threw up!

It was great and I am not just saying that because my soon to be wife won the lottery. The wedding should be on Chesapeake shard on 1/21/2012. I will get back to everyone later today with a time and location.

Dropping in to say Thank you for the invite. The homes were decorated with a feeling of 'home for the holidays' and one had to even go through Grinches Mountain to reach the destination of the 'eggnog'. Which I added a splash of brandy to mine. :)

Was lots of fun and MERRY CHRISTMAS to one and all!
