To celebrate the 1st 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 8/30/2013 to 9/2/2013 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 Anniversary Clothing Item (hue 1271,1284) 1 Anniversary Jewelry Item (newbied, hue 1271,1284) Chance for an anniversary mug 1 Hair Restyle Deed, Beard Restyle Cream, or Clothing Bless Deed 1 Fireworks Wand 1 Special Named Bag (hue 1271,1284) Rare Chance for a mystery item During our anniversary weekend we will be running a 4 part scavenger hunt event.

A detailed knowledge of the UO world and a bit of UO lore is a huge help. Simply follow the clues and speak to Chris ingame to place in each round. Players earn 3 points for 1st, 2 points for second and 1 point for 3rd in each round. Ties are determined by checking Chris's journal. Each event will have 8-12 rounds. Players will need to be prepared to travel to towns, the overworld and dungeons Each character may only score in two events. Allowing for our international or working players to have an equal chance. Scavenger Hunt - Registration In order to register for the event I will need to be given a character name and forum name. Scavenger Hunt - Scoring and Prices Each players points will be pooled to determine a clear ranking ladder. Ties will be determined by 1st place finishes. (1 first place > 3 third place finishes) Players, in order of placement will gain access to the prize room shown below. Players can choose 1 item on the left side, or two items on the right side of the prize room. The top 30 players who score during the event will get to select from the prize room. 1st, 2nd and 3rd Place will earn a trophy honoring their achievement. Players will also earn platinum based on their total event score. Each character may only score in two events. Allowing for our international or working players to have an equal chance.

No other staff or volunteers have been involved in the selection process or clue design. Thanks to everyone who has helped Renaissance make it to its 1 year anniversary.
Holy monkey balls of Uranus, is that a statue with cats? Top 30 can choose the cat statue? OMGOMGOMG I might freak out at work right now :geek:
Once each item is selected it is gone, and you select items based on your performance in the scavenger hunt events. (I might add a 2nd cat/people statue, if I can find the correct graphics)
Cat statue will be mine! I can't wait for the scavenger hunts! When I first got here Telamon was running one, it was a hoot! CAN'T WAIT!
Don't get me wrong, I love pussy as much as the next guy but really? Come on guys, LOOK AT THAT FRIGGEN HORNED TRIBAL!!!!!!!
I'm a little confused about this. You mean I can gate or Alt-Tab to another of my accounts and recall to the same spot and double up on potential prizes? Also one other question, as I notice right now that my accounts are 17 days old... if I log in on 9/1, day 21, will I get the prize then? Or do you have to be 21 days old on the first date? Finally, do we register now, or at the time of a given event? Thanks!
We will be running a total of 4 events. A single character can only enter a maximum of 2 events, thus allowing players from all time zones to have a chance. However if you can make all 4, you are welcome to enter 2 with 1 character, and 2 with another. As for account age, you should qualify without any problems, although it will be close. As for registration, when the events get started, I will require a forum account as well as a character name for registration. However you are more than welcome to provide that information to me now.
Awesome, thanks! And really appreciate the scattered times/days of events. I'll register with: Forum: Dalavar Character: Dalavar Wolfmage I don't expect to make all four, so I'll just do one character and see how I do.
The way I designed the event, is that you only need to make 2 events to score evenly against other players.
Forum Name: Corruption Characters: Corruption for Fri/Sun/Artemis for Sat/Mon Can't wait! Any chance you could add paperdoll pics of the masks equipped?
