25th Anniversary Event Rules for Costume Contest

Thanks  That changes what I was about to pack.  No more shape shifting Goblin/Orc  Using flippers and ring. 🙁

But I can still be a troll while walking around the fairgrounds.

How will this be done?  There are many events,  Will there be a contest when say 10 people are around and then 10 more in 20 mins or so.  Or specific time for specific event.  

In 2 hours how will we do or see some of everything?

You guys realize there could be 100 people there at one time.  25 of them may be me. lol

The developers are much too busy with NL to answer your trivial questions us gud players knows how to play uo

good questions
I would like to know that too
because there are multiple events that I would like to do too
======

I would also like to know if you can engrave clothing?

Seems like people that do not have established chars on Origin with access to special dyes/armor/clothes (and don't have a shard shield) are at a severe disadvantage here for the costume contest.

Just go Nekkid and tell everyone you’re dressed as mighty dragon with vivid purple scales and pink horns. And that If they can’t see it, they must be high on zoogi fungus.

Ahhh good call!

Better yet... I'll say that I'm dressed as New Legacy. Yes!! It's big,bold, and the best costume by far... you just have to use your imagination and believe what I'm saying. I've spent the last 2 years making it so it must be good. It will be the Alpha version of course...the final version of my costume will be available Halloween 2025

I am willing to throw my home open to visitors for the event. I'm probably not the only one who will.

As a Origin resident i can say there's already little to nothing available on a day to day Basis for the locals how will the entirety of UO be supported even for a two hour event? 

Have you been to my vendors??

There are public dye tubs at Tasti's Vendor house, if anyone needs special dyes other then those or the natural dyes that I sell on my vendor they just need to ask. We have plenty of crafters that are more then willing to make specialty clothing if needed.

Message me here, on Stratics, on Discord Larisa#4363 if anyone needs anything.

Exactly!

The no pets thing is gonna throw a wrench in many costumes I think but it's time to get creative!

Yeah, I had a couple looks that I thought would be made better by being able to hop off and on an ethereal. 

Shard bound items have been an impediment to some costume making too. I'm afraid to even look up old posts on how that went down. I guess I wasn't reading the boards at that time. It is just the worst idea. One that often brings spontaneous fun to a screeching halt. I could not hate it more.

Another reason inter-shard travel should be made easier. The logistics involved in trying to pull stuff together that you know would make for a better time during this Origin event is absurd. The same could be said of any impromptu event on an away shard that you'd love to jump in on.

Access to transfer shields and tokens (or access to other players with tokens, who'll schlep your stuff around) shouldn't be a thing. We should all be able to enjoy this to the fullest without jumping through these hoops. Or the alternative, showing up on Origin wearing your noob short pants.

We should be able to get ready for the party at home, then wing our way to the ball in our home shard finest.

Maybe they're hoping to sell extra transfer tokens...

Yes, I would assume so. Be that as it may, transfer tokens don't strike me as the best idea for keeping players happy. I'm sure many, many players can think of lots and lots and lots of things they'd love to buy from the UO store. Items that wouldn't impede avenues to spontaneous fun.  

I don't understand why less than two weeks notice was given for something oh 25 years in the making or why it was decided to be held on Origin? I mean the lag at destard day one was ok right now imagine all UO in small area for two hours....

I coming as a tourist, (a person who is traveling or visiting a place for pleasure.)  that will be my costume.  Eat to much, drink to much, try to get a souvenir to take home later.

Looking to join a Ludo team, but not as team leader 🙂  Rules look a bit complicated but I will make a good follower 🙂 Used shield to bring over my main Hippolyte and a costume change for that contest. Only seen 2 sets of rules for 7-11 booths/contests so far? Is each EM posting the rules only on their shard page?

I can buy 20 clothing items for a BOD for the Artisan Festival to make on shards I do not play on. 50 tailoring will make basic clothes.

Most clothes can be bought from NPCs and dyed on the shard.

I can bring back Gifts to Atlantic, then Chessy, then LS.  After the event. 

Everything you need, let me know what you want and i'll throw it in a box set to public.

Apparently it is on Origin because it was the original test center which became a shard.  If I recall right, aren’t most publishes live on Orign first? I take it they see this event as a way of testing some things.

Origin was the first live test shard now there are three. With NL put off what could they be testing and how much could they do in two hours?? Remember the lag in destard on the first day?? Or any EM events now triple that i guess they are going for nostalgia as it's gonna be like 98 and everyone on dial-up...

Err... a full suit of Balron bone or Wildfire armor? 

Ah yes... if accepting requests then I'll take a full blue corn plate suit.

I know it might be a....corny costume.... but I'll take it anyway

Or perhaps the greedy bone suit from the gold man.... I think that was also be....money! 

 😂

Jk 😂 , and wow they look great!

Thanks @Victim_Of_Siege I used a dye tub last night.

Does no one else see the irony of time pressed developers spending the better part of a week getting ready for a 2 hour event....

McDougle said:

Umm mesanna and EMs were doing it. No coding time was wasted.

So I do not see any irony I see them acknowledging a 25th anniversary the best they can with Covid. 

A live event would use more time and all would be there.

Also it was set up in hours not the better part of a week.

I thought popps was bad but you have gone beyond being the biggest TROLL.  UO could give you a month free sub and you would still whine about it.  If you hate it so much then pancake quit and give us all a break.

@Victim_Of_Siege ; Can you put out a book with charges so we can recall to the dif spots?

Larisa Made us this:

We've gone 2 years with the developers stating they were too busy with NL for even the simplest of things now they admit it's not even alphaware and I'm a troll for expecting them to be accountable for their time? 

McDougle said:

I would use a different word instead of Troll.

It is their game and they can do what they want and you have 2 choices pay and play or quit.  Nobody is forcing you to stay.  A TROLL that still pays to be abused, a total masochist.

Okay, so now we have two Fairgrounds with racetracks, kissing booths, fortune tellers, dagger toss, archery buttes, etc. @Mesanna ; will this new one be removed when the fair is over?

Like what she has.  You can make runes and lock down a rune book with charges, anyone can walk up and use them I think when you set to public.

I hope so!

I wish they had utilized the one we already have...it's never been used and it has everything they need.

Maybe because it's in a smaller area and they are trying to spread people out?

(My hope is that when they do take everything down, they also take down the 9th anniversary houses..PLEASE for the love of all that is UO take those down!!!!)

Thanks! 

@Victim_Of_Siege ; I cant open that one but I can open the orange one. Its is in the air.  

Origin is more active than usual already.  I have heard some chat and players are running around in Luna.

It was used quite extensively back when it was made. (sorry forget the exact years) Faine was the EM and there were several events there. but yes, it hasn't been used in some time and it has everything they just built for the most part. And YES!!! tear down those monstrosities.

Thanks, works great. 

Was just having some Fun with @em rainstormer.  Dang pics did not work.

He is running the horse race and put up this guy.

The Origin Mall is actually a vendor on that house. IF you walk into the house (I wouldn't!) you'll see.

 EM Rainstormer is AMAZING!!!!! Best EM ever.

OK I saw him run by so I followed and it looked like he plopped that Vendor down.  I guess I startled him with my costume.

But there is a gate to the entry of the Faire.

Placed a house at the Southern end of the Fair and put a Teleporter from inside the Luna Bar, to the New Britain Franchise.

Larisa - Love the commemorative  "T-Shirts" - feel like a real tourist now:) And I clciked on Victim's cookie vendor and got a 16th anni horse just in time for the Horse Race 🙂 Thank you all!

Do you ALWAYS have to be my neighbor????  LOL

Actually that's my guilds vendor house but close enough! Our Guild Mistress made those clothes...she's pretty amazing! My idea though

I can't wait to see everyone today!

You are the biggest Debbie Downer. Honestly, you make people not want to even come read the boards.

Edit: You made me forget what I came to say. Thank you, Larisa, for the rune books. And thank you, Mariah, for the map!  Both are very helpful!

question I have is, do I HAVE to participate in the events there to get the finally drop?  I took a walk around click the ankhs there, but I rather not play any of the games, I will root for my friends that are playing, but in Discord (voice) only

Anything positive to add, even tho you play that shard you say,  you did nothing to aid players from other shards I noticed.

I wasn't there until end blackbeard

Dang I thought the steed replicas were going to be rideable

Good fun and a lot of hilarity ensued. I have two books filled, one that is correct, one that has two pages for EM Hezekiah. (pg 12&13) i will not be fixing that one

Same here.  Got a full one and a goofed up one that I didn’t add the other scrolls to.

grabbed the souvenir tickets and then the moonshine and bbq leg.

Overall glad I made it but man, that was stressful lol

The lines were very long so I did not get to do but 4 things and did not win anything and only was able to turn in one ticket because of the lines. Troll didn't give me a lollipop, just a wet smooch.

Only got the clickies and a goblin knee.

Was fun and crowded.

The timer on the silver steed is a few days if I am correct.

Ya just noticed I got a book with page 12 and 13 the same.  At least I got another with different 12 and 13s.

There was an issue with 12 not being given out for a long time.

I wish it lasted long to play more games also would have very cool if horse was a mount. I also have a bad book. 

I kept all my pages loose and will fill books tomorrow. I did notice that I got 2-3 extra page 12's...

Make sure you add the page 13 from EM Hendrix if you want the intended book.
