Community Library and Naming Contest - Open May 1st

Post by Daolin »

Community Library
Opening and Naming: May 1st

Image

Location: A keep NE of Britain, on the border of the swamp, approximately two screens NE of the UOSA Museum. (Update with picture soon)

Goal: To provide for the UOSA community a knowledge base in game. This will include:
  • Historical recordings
  • Event storylines and results
  • Player stories
  • Skill and gameplay guides
  • Guild and player interviews
  • Complete rune library
  • Up to date vendor listings
  • Small event hosting
Naming Contest

The library is looking to the community to come up with a suitable name. We are seeking names that are fitting to the UO theme. One of these will be chosen and announced on opening day. The winner will receive credit for the name, as well as a 50,000 gold prize.

* This is an extension of $$$ and a cooperation with UOH.

I have the dragon bash there. If you could find me the others, I would appreciate it. I went past every post in the player event forum and the archived. Now there were some events I skipped because they never gave the results. I was looking for at least "Yes! event went great!", and I would see if I could contact the person for results. There are so many events that are planned and never happen.

But yah, give me links if you can. I'm doing guides next, so I may miss things there as well.

Please make sure you purchase the proper library permit from cA's Department of Book Learning and Good Education before the grand opening. Failure to comply will result in unimaginable woes.
