~ღ♥ƸӜƷ♥ღ~ Ultima Online, House Art brought to you by N/A ~ღ♥ƸӜƷ♥ღ~
This is for all the gamers out there!!! Creative art, expressed through digital media. Not new you say? Ok, so to an extent yes that is true. However art like my partner and I are creating on our game of choice has NOT been seen before. In fact, it is so new there was a special ruling made specifically for our design!
Perhaps you have heard of Ultima Online, perhaps not. If not, it's worthy of looking into if you are interested in an in depth game that will go at your pace as you are feeling it. There is PvM, PvP, Crafting, and so much more. Slay the opponent with spells, melee, rangers, or even your beast of choice. It's an easy game to get lost in for sure, and easily grows on you. The customization options are pretty sweet as well with a wide range of mounts, armor and gear. The house customization options, already through the roof with potential (no pun intended...lol), have only gotten better over the years. But I'm not here to sell their game for them, they are doing a fine job of that themselves.
I'm here to share a new venture that my epic partner and I are bringing to life on Ultima. Below you will find his words, as shared on Stratics, and some examples of our creative works.

~ღ♥ƸӜƷ♥ღ~ New Mediums on Old Platforms ~ღ♥ƸӜƷ♥ღ~
☆҉‿↗⁀☆҉ "It's like being inside of a giant rare that holds all your rares!!!" ☆҉‿↗⁀☆҉
"For more than 18 years we of the UO community have been stuck with stagnant colors with which to decorate our homes. Having returned after a 5 year respite, Me and my Lovely woman Quintessence noticed that the housing market was much the same. Dull colors and most still using the customize house menu to craft their own unique home. No longer we say! No longer shall we be constrained to the dull whites and greys of yesteryear! For after many hours of of self taught lessons we are proud to present a brand new way of home design! Now not to get ahead of myself, our first attempt at revealing our new home design was met with much scepticism and ridicule. Undaunted and unscathed by ignorance we continued our practices. We created another masterpiece and once again let the UO community have a gander at our new design. Most fell instantly in love with the architecture, one did not and paged for a GM. Who could have guessed it would lead us to Willy Wonka's Golden Ticket! After speaking with the GM's for a few hours over 2 days, and explaining how our New Design was actually beneficial to the UO community as a whole, they gave swathing approval and a Gold Stamp to roll ahead with the project! So without further ado here are some pictures of the New Design." ~NightHawk
~ღ♥ƸӜƷ♥ღ~ Frequently Asked Questions ~ღ♥ƸӜƷ♥ღ~
Q. Will I get in trouble for the extra floors?
A. No , you will not get into trouble for using one of the houses that N/A creates for you.
Our unique design makes it so that no matter how close your closest neighbor is, the house will not render what so ever until you enter it. If your neighbor enters your house and then goes into theirs, there will be a moment it seems like the neighboring house is blocked. But this problem is truly no problem at all, just recall out to a different area, and back again. The N/A constructed home looks again like a blank lot, blocking no one!

Q. What if they page a GM to have me remove my extra floors?
A. On the really off chance you have one of those fit to complain and page neighbors, we will give you (upon purchase of the house) the ticket number and GM to reference back to if your design should ever come in question. NightHawk and Quintessence have already spent time talking with the GM's about the design, the GM's have met on the subject of the house design and the verdict is in and is official. These N/A crafted houses are of legit design.

Q. What about lock downs? Won't all the goza's and stone walls take a LOT of lockdowns?
A. More beauty in our epic design here as well as the goza's and stone walls (or stone floor if that is a preference) take no (0) lockdowns! Leaving you to load you home to max content if you so wish it.
~ღ♥ƸӜƷ♥ღ~ ~ღ♥ƸӜƷ♥ღ~ ~ღ♥ƸӜƷ♥ღ~ ~ღ♥ƸӜƷ♥ღ~ ~ღ♥ƸӜƷ♥ღ~
Q. Can I use the extra floors?
A. All extra floors work the same as a regular floor allowing you to lock down items, containers and just about anything else. The only exception here is that the stone walls (or floors for that matter) used to create the house do not work in the extra floor levels. There are wall pieces that can be purchased (rubble walls for example), or other alternatives in general like using boxes, display cases, tables or other non walk through items around the edges.

Q. Can you do custom homes?
A. There are many things that factor into a completely custom home. Stone crafted custom? Regular Custom? We do both....
With stone crafted houses minor restrictions may apply. For example: it seems there are height restrictions on certain areas. There are some areas of Trammel you can only go one extra level (5 total), while other areas of Trammel you can go up to six levels (two extra floors). While in Malas or Ter Mur it seems that you can easily go seven total floors (three extra). Tokuno, however it seems we cannot add any extra floors to at all.
That is just part of what is to be considered on a custom home. What colors are you wanting? Are you wanting a particular style or theme? Are you wanting us to just build the home, or deco as well? What materials are needed?
These are just a few examples of things to factor in.
Now this is not to say that we won't do it. This just means there is a lot to think about. But if you want a totally custom house, feel free to contact either NightHawk or Quintessence on general chat, Atlantic Shard, and if we are on we will try our best to answer all of your questions and work out total pricing with you.

Q. How long does it take to build one of these houses?
A. For the crafting of the materials to build the house, and to build the house (no deco), takes NightHawk and Quintessence roughly 24 hours. Deco included could be another 24 hours, depending of course on if you have all the deco you are wanting used or not. See "The Dragon's Lair" and "Rubble Mountain" for examples of house build and deco.

Q. After a stone crafted house is built can I just hit customize and change something later on?
A. Oh please Nooooo! Technically yes you can. But be warned that if you go into customization mode on a stone crafted build the house will be packed up inside of the moving crate. Some deco will likely be in there, while most will be as you left it. Long story short, if you have a problem with something on a build we have done for you, contact us and we can fix it more likely than not. If you hit customize and box up your house we will NOT do a free remodel. You have been warned.

Q. What if I don't like it after you built it?
A. If the house has been built, and you have already paid for it and said you love it, then another build is exactly that. If we are working on the build and you see something you don' t like , tell us as soon as you see it. Don't wait. No matter how big or small the thing is, TELL US so we can fix it then. The stone crafted builds are less forgiving than regular custom builds in the sense that we can make changes along the way MUCH easier than going back later to fix something. Going back later makes us consider reconstruction fees. So please if you see something you don't like while we are building, tell us. We prefer to work with you then have you hate it later.
