Make sure to join #3rdAnniv in IRC to take part in the event at the scheduled times. To celebrate the 3rd Anniversary of UO Renaissance going live we have a few special things planned for our players. Players with accounts over 21 days old will notice a special bag placed in their bank upon login. These will be awarded from 8/29/2015 to 9/4/2015 and are given 1 per account. These items will be placed directly in your bank, for players who might have logged out in hazardous locations, so make sure to check there. To celebrate the anniversary we have created an exclusive line of clothing, jewelry and decorative items. Each item is named to celebrate the occasion. Each bag has a chance to contain the following 1 3rd Anniversary Clothing Item (hue 1164,1374) 1 3rd Anniversary Jewelry Item (newbied, hue 1164,1374) Chance for an anniversary mug 1 Hair Restyle Deed, Beard Restyle Cream, or Clothing Bless Deed 1 Fireworks Wand 1 Special Named Bag (hue 1164,1374) Rare Chance for a mystery item During our anniversary weekend we will be running a 4 part scavenger hunt event.

Happy 3rd anniversary UOR... here's to many more! Many thanks to Chris and staff for all the hard work they put into this!
Note for all of the new folks, my first foray into this scavenger hunt I placed in the top 5 by using only public moon gates. It is very possible for you to compete with the veterans even if u are still training skills. I also sold most of my prizes for over 2 million golds to veteran players who wanted the Trammell more than me. This is a nice way to get a jump start. (Aka the secret to my non-farming wealth accumulation program)
Happy 3rd year anniversary! This is my first year here, one of many to follow! Keep up the awesome work guys!
