Good lord! 12mil for a house? Where the heck is that?

Can't seem to find an Avatar Island. I'm looking on the UO Automap.
the house matron was talking about offering 12 mil for is on justice island. it's a large brick.

What's so good about Justice Isle house tho? Everybody who plays UO knows about that spot,

I played on a shard with like 12 active people and that was one of the first places a house went up, then a small went up, and griefing ensued.

Anyone else notice this dude started in 2008?

Anyways, fire isle/isle of the avatar is the best place in the game. all houses are pretty secluded because of the terrain and the spawn, while very tough, is generally light.

My favorite part is the silver serps, if you're not used to them they can easily kill you. Great guard dogs to have outside your door.

Although there are some spawns, if you want secluded, Trinisic Jungles is the way to go.

I left a character on for well over a week and checked his journal daily, not a single passerby. In 6 months out there I have never even seen another person.

If you are the first player on a new server, you can set up a boat blockade and have justice island all to yourself. There would be no way to get on that island. Not to mention, a tower fits there, which is THE choice in housing.

I just really like that spot, and granted, it's not nearly as worthwhile on UOSA because everyone has 50 runes there. Roadkill dropped the ball on that property for sure.

If you ever thought no one could troll Matron, clearly you were wrong.

Kudos RK.

Blanche Island has room for just a 7x7. It also houses t-map 74. Heaven help you if you open up a level 5 on that island...

I think it's owned by "caveman". He bought it for 2 million or so.

I am overly fond of that spot where I think Hardcore had a keep in a circle of trees in the woods, very very remote spot. Pretty uber in my book....

One of my long-term UOSA goals I set a long time ago was to buy that house. I found it by accident when I was new, and fell in love with the spot.

I "dropped the ball" because a certain man (who also happens to have a statue at the museum) got to the island before my boat wall was built. Once that happened, I decided to go full public with it

Not the best location, but certainly a good spot right by the Yew Moongate...
