For sale, the Cove Gate Tower (quite possibly the oldest on the shard, grandfathered lockdowns/secures).
SB: 3x castle deed

This tower, itself, is rare. Below are some interesting facts about the tower and pictures to see what you're bidding on. Click the [+] to expand.

HISTORY
This tower is quite possibly the oldest standing in the game. It was placed by Sandro sometime before Patch 38 on June 15th 2008. This patch made changes to housing with incorrect number of secures and lockdowns. Players could choose to have their houses changed or remain as old (grandfathered).
As the tower currently stands it only has 7 secures but has 106 ADDITIONAL lockdowns over regular towers - very handy for large scale decorators, collectors, or rune libraries.
Any future owner may have this changed to be like any other tower at their choice, but I would not recommend this as this as the additional lockdowns are part of what makes this tower so special.
The red orcish corpse which is situated on the doorstep is the leftover of an event which was created for the phasing out of the bank that used to be at Cove.
There Was No Bank in Cove!
After it was decided there was to be no bank in Cove and a viscous spawn of Orc's were introduced to phase it out
A Call to Support The Reclaiming of Cove
Free Cove!
After a few attempts to reclaim Cove the Orcs were finally defeated.
Orcs Banished From Cove
Although I cannot make any gaurantee that this will not be removed by staff at a later date, it has been there for over 4 years and is a nice piece of the shard's history and a reminder of the events that have evolved around this historic tower.

Putting this back up for sale. I don't do much with it so maybe some enterprising player can set up a museum or make an epic rune library (or make it private and keep the sweetness all to yourself
).

This is my favorite rune library. I hope sultan keeps it public when he buys it!

The winning bidder will also have the option to purchase the small in front of this at deed cost. The small is blocking the placement of anything larger that might infringe on the spaciousness of the current "front yard".
