    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

    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)

    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.
