UO Second Age

I've been with uosecondage for an extremely long time and have had my fun here making new friends and enemy's. Pretty much, I log in once every 10 days, refresh some houses, run around Brit bank to see the 1 or 2 people at the bank and then I log. I've become so busy pursuing my education and focusing on family. I would like to come up with type of game everyone can come together and win fantastic prizes that involve what I have which would include GF items, keeps, towers, smalls and and endless count of top end magic weapons, kegs and rares. This is an announcement to gauge the interest in something like this and I will be working with a team to get prizes together, pictures taken to post here to encourage people to join along. Please let me know if there is anything you can think of that would be fun and rewarding to do in game. I just don't want to hand out stuff without any interaction within the community.

The blue bag Scavenger hunt that Flash put on was probably the best event of the type you are looking for.

but in all honesty IDOC's are great ways to give stuff away.

Also you can do the whole "rune and key to a house full of loot" at brit bank for the thieves, or run around in a dungeon as a dexer with rune and key.

all these things are fun.

OR you could just give it all to me so I would be wealthy again =)

Chumbuckets newbie-character super-event for 1 mil gold had about 300 players turn out. Something like that is always fun.

Or, just trash-barrel it all, that would be most beneficial.

There's definitely interest for events. Good bunch of people when I ran my last event and I didn't even have rewards for anyone.

I'm currently thinking of some sort of a team treasure/scavenger hunt with a few different phases...hit me up on IRC if you want to know more.

Get the Gms to put the gf stuff/rares in neon bags that wont decay and hide them in the most random, least traveled places in the land. Let the greatest easter egg hunt ever known to sosaria commence. Would create fun, travel, and talk for quite some time I'd imagine.

This sounds cool whatever you do I hope I can be on for it.


Put Raffle Tickets (books with a number written in them) on creatures throughout dungeouns of britannia.

Then people go out hunting collecting tickets.

Then hold a massive raffle that everyone shows up to with tickets to win stuff

Good idea.

Cool ideas. I definitely like the scavenger hunt idea. You could also combine with the idea of bags with rune and key. Like some of the scavenger hunt bags could include the rune and key to a house with some cool loot or key and rune to the larger houses (empty or maybe a few lesser items). Leave a book in the bag with a method to contact you and a "code word" to get the house transfered to the finder (code word so you know they actually found the bag). Definitely hope I'm on when you do whatever you do. Sounds like a lot of fun.

I would love to attend any of the mentioned events, prizes or not. But the sweet loot would be great. Just as long as its an event anyone can attend rather than a PVP combat specialized event that someone like me would really not do well in as I am a Bard.

Aye.. I would suggest a bit of both, do a scavanger and an IDOC at the same time, so people can be doing different things, PvPers can fight while other people can search

Don't forget about ocean adventures.

Thank you for everyones replies. This is something i'm not really willing to do myself as i simply do not have the time to set it up. I'm liking the raffle idea it's just i think it would be difficult to avoid cheating? It would have to be number's that are randomly generated that i have in a system on my computer or something so people just cannot throw in a bunch of numbers based off one book they find? For example, what is stopping someone from finding a raffle ticket that has a number of 123456. What stops them from buying the same book but putting there own number's in each one of 654321, 342165, 642135 etc. As i mentioned before i wouldnt have the time to get this all organized, so i will basicslly be nominating someone i find that would do the right thing and basiclly pay your self on one of the tower's you can sell for profit/fee's for the time it will taske you to run the event. I'm really trying to avoid any cheating so it will prob have to be pretty legit to avoid people getting any "cheating" idea's. A lot of great idea's so far

Using a key generator can help with a lot of those problems you brought up. Distribution of one book per player is impossible to keep track of so I would say distribution through contest and games is the best route. Coming up with a number of books to distribute based on population should give everyone a chance at the honey pot. Which leaves the question, how many events will be executed to distribute books?

use the above event ideas ^^ and distribute loot slowly and give equal chance (most of the time).

Distribute books randomly that are jibberish codes.


Somewhere in the land a miner found a treasure!
-Higher some of the fellas that duel all the time to run certain operations at mines.
--pks
--fresh chars
--chars baiting as a miner only to be skilled pvpers waiting for agro
--etc
-loot is semi rares, books w/code,books with jibberish code, torches, pickaxes, and heads.

Next event..
Find the bag that I put somewhere in the world..

Next event.
The small house I placed a week ago is idoc w/random amount of loot, books, and jibberish books.

Next event...
A large band of pks are holding a castle and they seem to have forgotten how to cast ressurect and are only doing so with bandages. Storm the castle for your reward.... That sucks, not possible anymore.. No more abyss style pvp

Next event..
1v1 duels
2v2 duels

Please trash barrel all of your gold, and record an rpv of the deed. All the non-inflationary items you can just give to me.
