    Hi,

    I'm new to the server but I played UO back in the old days and then a few times later on. I love this server so far, it's perfect!

    One of my characters has begun a series and I would like a way to make them permanent so I could sell and or one day put them in a library. Is there a way to do this in UOR?

    Thanks for any assistance you can provide.

    Hi Geo,

    I'm a huge fan of in game books. @Jebidiah by far utilized these better than anybody I've seen. He once made a picture of the likeness of Jupiter using ascii art.

    That being said I think @Chris has received numerous requests to improve in game books so I'm sure it's on his list. I've amassed quite a few books that I'd like to put on display once books can be viewed while locked down.

    Geo,

    If you make a copy, I will gladly buy one and store it in PoB, when we found our library. For now i would suggest using a pouch in your own bank.

    I'd love to buy copies of these books, too, if you can figure it out. That way I can have something to read while I'm tending shop or weaving cloth :)

    I'd also leave 'em around the house for other people to peruse (the shop is public)

    1) I need to see this picture.
    2) Being able to view locked down books would be so great.

    I agree, it would be awesome to lock text into books so people can actually make in game libraries and such. At the very least, allow locked down books to be viewed until all the new goodies get implemented like the leaves that bind the books. But, make locked down books that aren't sealed writeable too, so people can make guestbooks and registries for like inns/taverns and such.

    Jupiter - the resemblance is uncanny!

    Though I like to imagine you smiling a bit more.
