    Hello,

    If you are (fairly) new to UO: Renaissance, continue reading.

    2017-12-31 20_56_01-CompatWindow.png


    I want to give away a furnished home to a player today. The home has been furnished and decorated by special guest, @Rheanon ! This home is move-in ready for the right adventurer.

    Rheanon's renowned for their natural approach to house furnishing. I am very proud to have them apply their craft to what I hope to be a memorable home to a future UO: Renaissance-er.

    How To Enter
    • provide a brief summary of when you first discovered UO
    • what do you love about UO: Renaissance?
    • account less than 60 days old
    • at least one character prepared to leave/have left [young status to never return
    • will enjoy / use / love this house
    • will continue this contest when prepared to leave the home by hosting a similar contest giveaway
    Realizing there are no guarantees... I do wish the player whom wins the home will really enjoy it and carry on with what I hope to be a tradition.
    NOTE: The home is right next to the Honor Shrine... I hope you "honor" my conditions for this great housing spot.


    HEY YOU.. STILL LOOKING FOR A HOME BUT THIS ISN'T THE ONE FOR YOU?

    Check out @Rheanon 's housing development projects. They have been supplying furnished homes throughout Britannia. Treat yourself! You deserve it.




    G'luck and have fun.

    The gnome knows best!


    If multiple new players apply I’ll put up 200k towards new housing for you as well.

    I started playing UO in 99-2000 some where in there i had a neighbor playing it and though it was the coolest. at the store one day i saw Ultima Online and thought it looked bad ass so i got my mom to get it for me and found out it was the same game my neighbor played so i played with him on supperior.

    I Love UOR because it reminds me of those days BUT the people arent a bunch of ass holes like they were back then on OSI. (IMO). i also like that the dev. staff is involved and actually LISTENS to player input.

    my account age is 13 days and counting

    my Tamer is no longer Young

    I would use the hell out of the house. My goal one day is to own a castle because i wanted one the moment i set my eyes on one in OSI days.

    Once im ready to get a new bigger home i will run the same/similar contest to hand this home to the next new person in brittania.
    thank you for reading.

    Let's end this thing! Just moments ago, I wrote down a name on two post-it notes. One said @Mevras the other said @Zathuel .

    I then had my very lovely assistant reach into a hat and pull out one of the slips of paper to which she said,

    "you... are... weird"

    To which I replied, "yeah, yeah, yeah I know. What name did you get?"

    To which she said with a smirk, "who's Mervas"?

    "WHO'S MERVAS?" I retorted, "Why, the winner of my Saturday Night Honor Tower Giveaway, that's who!"

    Pending a meet up, confirmation of account/age, and xfer.
