The Men in Green (MiG) on the Drachenfels shard. Their origins go back to the Atlantic server (if I remember it correctly). I stayed with them approximately 6 months, but didn't really fit in. On their advice, I joined the Mystical Circle of Britann…

Thank you for the suggestion, Keven, but I know how to open a BoD and see the contents:

Wow! That's a splendid idea. Hope you don't mind, but I'm going to let the governors of Drachenfels know about this idea so that we can nick it for next year.

Not having deco stuff is hardly an excuse. The past 26 years, countless UO players have demonstrated that exactly this brings out the best in them.

Community Manager said: Reminding everyone to please put the; owner, name of house and location in your submissions! Thank you! Darn, I've forgotten the house owner's name.So, it's: Owner: Pitti SingName of house: Drachenfels BoD Exchange …

Helloween's Kitchen in the Drachenfels BoD Exchange Center.Open to visitors on the Drachenfels shard (obviously), Trammel facet, coordinates 25.45S 27.33WThe place already had some pumpkins, so I threw in a few more.

I love the idea. One question though: does it have to be the entire house? What if you have a keep or castle and only a pumpkin or two?

Being a crafter myself and doing my modest part every artisan tree festival, I fully understand your plight. On a shard with only a few dedicated crafters, it's a massive undertaking to put the star on every tree, and I applaud you for putting so mu…

Hail Pawain, Keep 1 - 1st floorIndeed, the new carpet is much better. I also like the addition of the bright red parrot, even though it partly conceals the picture on the wall.The small detail in the kitchen with the darker "star" is a good idea add…

What an exuberant colour-feast, Pawain, well done! Mene gives you excellent advice (I wouldn't have expected it otherwise, she's a wonderful architect & interior decorator). I'm not going add anything to it, because it's very much what I had in …

So, suddenly I'm promoted to colour advisor *g* Gold and red is a daring combination, but both colours go together well. Am I guessing correctly that you wanted such an impressive contrast in the first place, but didn't dare and therefore went for t…
-
I agree with you, Pawain. It takes courage to work with contrasts, but there's no harm in testing, testing and testing again until you have a result that works for you. I look forward to see how your project will evolve
-
Goodness, forgive an old blind bat for offering advice to the wrong person. I'll have to come visit your castle again, Petra. My character may still be wandering somewhere in the vicinity. The additions are well-chosen. I especially like how you "sp…

Hello Petra, Working with colours is tricky. I hope you don't mind that I tell you what I like about your keep and what I feel could use rethinking. Ground floor Bronze and copper go together well. The black table & chairs contrast well with th…

Nice idea, Cinders. It would be nice to be able to craft trashcans in a dozen or so shapes. Although it might also be practical to give a number of already existent decorative items a trashcan function. That way, they won't look out of place.
-
Thank you, Mariah. It will be a challenge to fit that into my RP-goody two shoes main character's home. But I suppose I can hide it behind a forge or so Let's hope that with time, more such items come.

When Mesanna and the developers visited Drachenfels a few weeks ago, I asked approximately the same thing. While their answer was kind and polite, it was a clear "no". It's a shame, but I understand the reason. Expanding the number of granite object…

Very nice designs, thank you. I adore the spined leather fish ponds! Hope you don't mind that I copy those
-
Lovely designs, all of them! @Lieutenant_Dan : those stairs are a very nice deep red. Is that simply the normal red from plant dyes, or is it one of the rare colours?

Kyronix said: Over 800 maps were dug up, totaling more than 52 hours worth of time digging chests, smashing guardians, picking locks, and removing traps! No wonder I feel exhausted this week
-
@MissE and @Tim: Allow me to quote Kyronix to shed some light on the mystery regarding the number of attempts to decode a (newly created) map. I too was dumbfounded when testing Kyronix said:@ Tarragon_Slayer - were these newly created maps that…
-
Hail @Kyronix: Many thanks for your reply.Yes, the maps were fresh from the clickies. I understand that now, and won't find it strange anymore.Also, I understand now why the guardians are carrying no loot, and yes this is fair for the ones who are s…

I dug up 5 artisan chests, one of each level. My findings are in a spreadsheet. My results from the cache and hoard are not entirely accurate, because I was distracted when emptying them. Some extra comments: I was disappointed by the number of ti…

Minerva_Foxglove said: Lol note I didnt say ill quit ower it , no way! I will try to solo as before just count on more deaths! Exactly! That's the spirit And I'm confident nobody will quit, far from it.

Minerva_Foxglove said (and a lot of other users also basically said): I am very sure I needed way more than 16 tiles... C'mon, chin up! Where's your sense of adventure? 16 tiles will be a challenge, and aren't the challenges part of th…

Whoohoo! These are changes I can very much live with. Many thanks!

You were luckier than me with the high level chests then, JollyJade. While I haven't had the chance to test extensively, when I dug up a chest with a puzzle, after "solving" the darn thing, I was left with nothing at all, not even gold or gems.
-
I'm trying very much coming to terms with the future changes. By the way, I'm one of those silly people who never asked for a loot improvement (didn't even know I could).When digging up my first stash chest a few weeks ago, I already concluded that …
-
At present, the master skeleton key is a guarantee that no items will be lost. Would it be acceptable to eliminate the puzzle on a hoard chest if a treasure hunter with GM Remove Trap opened it with a Master skeleton key? If I have the time, I'll be…
-
I usually do level 6 and 7 together with a 1 or more people. Not because I can't solo them, far from it. Sometimes players ask me if I'm prepared to dig up the chest while they take care of the guardians, and tame any mobs which spawn and are worth …
