I like them all. Thank you to devs for the contest. It was great fun!

 

[Larisa]

Yay! I voted for Mr. Crowley, his design was fantabulous! Congrats on all the winners!

 

[Mandrake of DF]

Im happy my design went through - thank you all

I named it Casa Moga, after the real hacienda in Romania - that is a beautiful place with a long history and was saved just few years ago.

Interesting to note that they are doing something about the interaction of the HUGE Britain guard zone with current and event trade orders.

I brought the subject up at the Lake Austin meet-and-greet, and Mesanna didn't know what the hell I was talking about. One of the Devs must have gone in after that, and found out just how FUBAR that guard zone is for the ambushes, for people who aren't weapon or pet users.

 

[Lady Michelle]

congrats to the winners

 

[MalagAste]

I'm very happy my Keep made #2 on the list... I've already begun packing up my current keep to convert.

 

[Pawain]

Im happy my design went through - thank you all

I like the way you blended the walls.

I could live in all these Keeps.

Congrats to the Winners!

 

[Pawain]

New stuff looks sweet!!!

 

[ShriNayne]

Oh where is that garland from? So pretty!

 

[Pawain]

Walk in red gate to get holiday token.

 

[ShriNayne]

Love the wreath, love the snow!!!

 

[Cyrah]

Could we please be able to lock the totems down? The gifts are quite nice! Thank you artists! Snow!!!

My personal opinion, is they didn't have much of a clue about the game and how it felt for the players 1-2 years ago.

I think they've learned a lot, taken a lot on board, and are really progressing in some positive directions all round.

Really beginning to see some results now.

I'm not a castle deco person, but they've done a lot for that player-base and a lot have enjoyed it. They are hitting trade routes as you say, another good area, and just so much more. Whilst I have certainly criticized a lot in the past, because UO was going to pieces, I feel they are really on a decent track right now.


Up to my post - I have just "liked" 11 positive posts, which is nice to see, and deserved all round.

Good artisan rewards, but they should remove all the ones from previous years.
So that you only get the new ones. I assume most have plenty of the ones from previous years already.

Also the holliday gifts, its good with different season gifts etc, but do we really need 5 items pr gift? with 7 chars on one account thats like 35items total to store up, and omg imagine if you have 2 or 3 accounts... thats alot of items. You could ofcourse sort out the bags before you store the items, but that takes alot of time, and also brings me to next point:

Cleanup points.
Most of the items in these bags have 0 or 1cleaup point. The list of cleaup items should be updated, theres alot of items that gives none cleanuppoints.
Also update the reward picks on NPC officer, think its been same for 4-5years now. (with the exception of some dyes added!)

Thank you

(Now what would really impress me is an update to the vvv system, fix bugs, rewards, points, add a meaning to it, make it feel worth capturing 100 towns a day, and the most important part add scores, guilds and lists to uo.com like the old faction system had) if all this happends, big star from me to the dev team

Umm, some like to collect, or go for a particular name on an item. I vote no-if it's too much for you to store, well, put it down at the bank, or don't even claim it at all... No use messing up everyone else cause it's too much, it might not be for someone else

I have to say from one builder to another.
I very much like it

Nice - Ill have to peek on the deco when you finished. Im waiting for to get it on prodo shards

 

[ShriNayne]

What will be the cost of the new Keeps?

 

[SwordofExcalibur]

Beautiful designs. Congrats to winners.

 

[Draza]

What will be the cost of the new Keeps?

Probably 300 mil for crowleys and 7plat for robins

To be dropped to 12-20 mil after we complain.

That would be even funnier if it wasn't so close to the truth!

.. Can someone tell me where the page is to view the winners and/or other submissions?

I can't find it on the home page. Sorry, I'm probably overlooking something very obvious, but I can't seem to find it.

Dont think anyone has posted pics from them yet, but you can log on to Test center and check them one screen east of wbb.
Theres a stone where you can teleport to each contribution of the final contest.


I voted for Robins, think it was quite nice, happy he was one of the winners

 

[Cyrah]

Maybe does not matter so much but Robin is a she. From Lake Superior.

Would someone go see on TC if the keeps show for them? To me they are all gone. Items in some are on the grass, my characters are all still there.

 

[Spartan]

I just checked one - #1 - Robins Nest. Empty area ... only grass and a few birds. I think they have wiped all the keeps (or at least the winners) in prep for rollout.

 

[MalagAste]

This is my winning design #2 the Traditional Keep Remastered:


I circled locations of Secret Doors, a spot you can drop out of, and elements left in so you can add walls without leaving gaps...

 

[Khaelor]

Looks like it was just Malas housing that was wiped. Trammel/Felucca keeps/houses are still there.
