It has been a week since I placed my keep and would like to upgrade it to one of the new designs, but I do not hive the house sign option hi-lighted to do so.

Are there trees inside or in the parts that are smaller? Or you have a paver somewhere.

Where's your keep located. I can take a look at it and tell you if it's upgradable or not.

I think there is a rock 1 space away. If I remember correctly I think the footprint is increased by 1 space on the new keeps and castles. My keep is located on Great Lakes south of Ice dungeon in fel.

It says it is properly placed but cannot be converted.

Do you have any fountains for bandages in the home, I think they block. And didn’t notice but did you remove everything from the bottom floor. I think that is a requirement as well.

I can’t confirm this but if I remember correctly mine didn’t show convertible until I removed all deeded items and stone crafted items.

There's a lot of keeps in that area. Which one is yours?

when I did my keep, (the information tab) always said it was properly placed...
I had 27 fountain of life in there too
the option to convert (in the customization tab) was greyed out, until it was ready to convert...
all items deeded, etc

I do not think I have any deeded items in the house and the only items in the house are 2 slime statues on the first floor and some ore on the front steps. The Keep is the first one South of the Ice Dungeon Enterance and is Owned by Clair. I have never had any Fountains in the home, but I will double check the lockdown and secure numbers tomorrow to see if anything was missed.

I did not know you get more storage when you change to the new designs from the original Keep. When did this happen???Cinderella said:no you can upgrade your Castle or Keep to the new designs...

I think she was referring to the fact that you get a 20% increase with High Seas.Arron said:I did not know you get more storage when you change to the new designs from the original Keep. When did this happen???Cinderella said:no you can upgrade your Castle or Keep to the new designs...

Oh ok. lol. I got excited. I have the 20% increase from ML did not know you could get it from High Seas as well. I thought it was only from the bank house increase upgrade, the ML and the 7th Anniversary.

As Mariah noted here, one can have a max total of 60% of House Storage increase:Arron said:Oh ok. lol. I got excited. I have the 20% increase from ML did not know you could get it from High Seas as well. I thought it was only from the bank house increase upgrade, the ML and the 7th Anniversary.
1) 20% from the "Mondain Legacy" Expansion
2) 20% from the "High Seas" Booster;
3) 20% from the "Housing & Bank Storage Increase" OR from the "7th Character Slot"***.
***A note: In the "7th Character Slot" description page on Origin Shop as today there is NO mention of the Storage Increase. Maybe they changed this specs? @mariah ???

PS: A "funny" thing to note is that it seems (at least as by my direct experience) that one can't transfer at all a House to another Account if said receiving Account doesn't have at least the same Storage Increase "rights": i.e., one can't transfer a House with a, e.g., 40% SI to an Account that "support" only Houses with a 20% SI.

I think that part only applies if the house contains items that would put it over that capacity. Otherwise it will adjust down with no problems. I have shuffled homes before and they have various capacities added. Though I do know for sure that the tiles of the home use to effect us like this.Ivenor said:

That makes sense, many thanks! 🙂
AAMOF the house I was trying to transfer between two of my Accounts was full to the brim of various crap... 😂

You are correct about that rock. It's a blocker.

However, you can move your keep south at least two maybe three tiles.

I didn't see anything else blocking on the west or east sides. My circle trans wouldn't go in far enough to see the entire inner voids but I didn't see anything.
The keep I have saved on UOAutomap is all the way up to that treeline and should be upgradable.
You'll have to drop that keep and move it south.

There were 2 different packs for 7th character slot. One is for the slot alone, the other was a combined pack 7th character and storage increase. The storage increase is also sold alone, but you can't add both the 7th and storage and the storage alone, it's an either/or situation.
I'm not seeing the combined pack on the page you linked. It may have been removed.

Yeah the 7th character slot is $20 and the Increased Bank & storage is $20. For a while there was a deal to get both for $30. I haven't seen that in a long time.

That rock isnt blocking placement, when they did the new designed keep the remade how the footprints of the old ones work so you cant go into the side openings anymore. Which may confuse someone to belive that it is the rock that blocks to walk there when it actually are the house.
2019-05-14 11:50

Maybe it only blocks the new Keep Design? But I find it curious that the option to securly replace the keep does not highlight on the house sign, but that could be because of something the house regesters so that option is not a valid one.
2019-05-14 12:04

Does someone know if he can do the stand under the sign and choose to resize and choose a new one without losing his spot and still placing the regular keep if nothing else goes?
If you aren't using EC, I do know that it helps with placement greatly.

I still like the old Keeps I just wish they give us access to the sealed areas in the walls, back ages ago we were able to drop in and mark runes inside, I just want to make two secret rooms within the current Keep using those two areas. I do not wish to convert to any of the new Keeps and I am not going to touch my swamp castle it will remain as is. I do not want a foundation around mine keep either but except it if they gave us just the basic Keep with doors to secret rooms and the rest of the building looking like a basic Keep.

I suspect (with no proof, clearly) that one of the points of all these "New Classic" House Designs & Contests have to do with the streamlining of the Houses DB management process by phasing out the old irregulary shaped "no foundations" Keeps & Castles. The fact that they blocked the Toons access to three of the "indentations" at the Keeps base IMO is illuminating.

One thing you could do @Drakelord is design a keep that is exactly like the classic keep but has access to the blocked off areas. Just a thought.

Do you mean in the next Keeps Contest (hoping it will pass the selection), or a 18x18 shaped like a Classic Keep?Victim_Of_Siege said:One thing you could do @ Drakelord is design a keep that is exactly like the classic keep but has access to the blocked off areas. Just a thought.

Chrille is correct. I was wrong about that rock. It's passable so it is not what is stopping you from conversion.
I went to the same spot in Tram on GL and there is a customized keep that appears to be in the same spot as yours.
There's got to be some add-on or something inside your keep preventing converison.

Never bothered to look at them on test. Just suggesting a plan of action for Drakelord. If that’s what y’all want, get out and promote it. Let me know which one it is in the next contest and I’ll go vote for it.Ezekiel_Zane said:

So I upgraded My Keep in Fel by dropping it a couple of days ago. When I tried to replace it I could not find the House Placement Tool. OMG!!! I had everything set up and placed the tool in a clear spot in my backpack, but I could not find it and panicked. Took me a few minutes to find it , but those were the longest and most terror filled minutes I have had in quite a while, but it ended in success. I moved it south one tile and placed a new design. Mission Accomplished. Thanks for the assist everyone.
