Bank Renovation: Designers Wanted!
Joanne Laroche
18 Dec 2008


With the new year, Sosaria’s main bank is in high need of a serious makeover. We are looking for talented designers and decorators to submit their original ideas on a great new look for the West Britain Bank. This is a permanent new look so do not focus on just a winter theme!

Contest Rules:

* You must take a screenshot of Britain Bank and decorate it with existing UO art.
* You can copy/paste existing art from elsewhere in the game on top of the bank area. You may optionally use InsideUO to grab tileart directly from UO.
* Your submission screenshot must be a JPG no bigger than 800x600.
* There will be one winner per shard, you may only win once.
* To qualify, entries must include your name and shard.
* You must have an active Ultima Online account to participate.
* Enter as often as you wish, but only one submission per e-mail.
* Submission for banks other than West Britain Bank will be dismissed.
* All entries become the property of Mythic Entertainment.


Prizes:


One winner per shard.

The winners will have the bank on their respective shard redecorated on both facets according to their design. A plaque will also be placed by the bank identifying the winning designer.

All winning entries will be posted here on the UOHerald once the judging has been finalized.


How to Enter:


When you are ready to submit your entry, you must include the following:

Your Character Name:
Shard:
E-mail address:
Description of your renovation (optional)
Your screenshot:

Send all the above information to: uo-contests@mythic.ea.com

This is open to all active Ultima Online subscribers. Entries must be received by midnight Eastern Time on Sunday January 18th, 2009 to qualify.


Good luck and happy bank renovating!

These two statement confuses me. So we are decorating the top of the bank? *scratches her head*

Confirmation please.

The structure itself remains the same and the interior and exterior can be redecorated with items available currently in uo art.

OR

structure is available for customization as well? add more stories/stairs etc?

Good questions, all!

We can accommodate designs that *add* to the structure, but not delete from it. In other words, if you want to add walls, stairs, etc, that's fine.

Details:
* Cannot change terrain (dirt/grass/basically anything with a texture on the floor)
* Cannot change static objects (existing walls, existing items in the bank that are scenery only/can't be interacted with)

The Terrain and Statics are global to all shards because they're part of the map files.

However, in InsideUO, when viewing the tileart, you'll see a section full of floor tiles. These are not terrain, and can be placed on top of it without problems. If you decide you want to redo the floor of the bank - that's fine.

The same goes for walls - you can't *change* the existing walls, but we can easily add walls to the existing bank. All your changes will be local to the shard, and nothing will change on the client.

Keep in mind we'd love to see what you do with the outside as well - that whole area could use some love.

P.S.

All we care about is seeing a final result screenshot and a good description for the design. Don't get caught up in asking what tools you can use - we only suggest InsideUO for browsing the art because it's so handy.
