Over the next few weeks UoH will be running an ongoing in game event.

In the in game chat system a UoH member will randomly join the channel and ask a trivia quesiton regarding UOSA or UO in general. The first player to answer correctly will receive a prize.
Also they will get a point towards the overall trivia championship.

Questions will be asked at random hours and days with no set patern. We have members available in every time zone.
So no matter your play time you will have just as much odds of answering a question.

All you need to do in order to participate is idle in the Chat room when you are online.
Event will take place in the UoH Trivia channel when you log into the chat
If no UoH members are present that doesnt mean they arent moments away from popping in!
When a question is asked - take your best guess :D

Instructions on how to join will be shown below

The game begins Tuesday April 20th morning at 8 AM EST
The grand prize will be awarded and unveiled upon the conclusion of the event!

To join the ingame chat room there are 2 methods.

First method - go to your menu bar and click chat! its that easy.
If you dont see a menu bar it will have been disabled. Go to your options button.
Click the top right button. Then enable your menu bar. Voila

Second method - you have an initial default macro to open the chat - Alt + T
If you have changed your default amcro fro that combination
go to your options - macros - set a hot key

When you open the chat program for the first time remember
THE NAME YOU CHOSE IS PERMANENT
and attached the the entire account

When in the chat at the top left you can click the arrow and chose the channel you want to move into!
Which will be UoH Trivia channel
Then when inside you can resize your chat window and dialogue boxes using the arrows in the bottom corne

Wait so, if we're UoH, can we still participate? I have a feeling if so, someone will cry foul....
If not no big deal, I don't mind throwing out a question or two.
