Considering I just posted about this yesterday, I'm going to quote myself. "with some running around and patience, a large tower is still very place-able at deed cost. I placed twin bridgeable towers just the other night when out looking for tower spots (gave to a close friend). I also had found 3 tower spots last week when out looking around, some may even still be open. Just putting out there that large towers, though difficult at times to place, do not require a premium cost as keeps and forts do." If you need help looking for a spot let me know I can pm you if I find one, for free of course. Edit: after re-reading this it may have come off as if I was being critical of the OP, this was not my intent, just to spread the knowledge that towers are placeable at deed cost. there are alot of reasons to pay a premium for a tower, such as location or feature.
Yes, there are plenty of tower spots still left to place. I have a tower bridged to 2 small towers, which you can mine from the roof of 1 one of the small towers. On grass by mountain. If you are interested in seeing it, pm me on IRC @ [UO]Dyne
