my ultima online home recreated on minecraft

A few years ago, Ultima Online came released an expansion called The 8th Age, and they came out with a game box that featured screenshots from 3 player houses in the game.

Mine ended up being one of them!

I didn't even know it was going to be there, I just had a guildmate suddenly tell me over teamspeak, "Magia!! Your house is on the box of UO!!" and I was like… what? He linked me a picture of it on some website that was taking pre-orders, and it was indeed my house!

I even know when the screenshot was taken. I was actually on the second floor of my house then, doing some crafting, when suddenly some random player comes into my house after killing a mongbat right outside my door (which is also on the screenshot, lol!). He went around then stood where he was standing in the picture for more than a few seconds. I was coming down to say hello but he didn't really say anything and left.

I didn't really think much of it because random players do come into people's houses, either to check out the décor or to try and loot any unprotected goodies. So it was a pleasant surprise to find my house on the back of the box.

I quite miss my house on UO. I actually had 2 because I had 2 accounts back then and each account was entitled to 1 plot. This one was my "public" more-decorated house on the PVE section of the world, and it had vendors and other things. My other house, which contained all my goodies, was in Felucca, the PVP area.

OH GOD I'VE RAMBLED ON, HAVEN'T I? Sorry. I tend to do that. TLDR, I miss my frucking UO home so much that I thought I would recreate it somewhat on the Reddit PVE server. And here it is!

There’s a lot of missing elements, of course, such as the asian-styled windows and the big honkin’ green soulstone in the middle of the lake. But I put a tree there instead.

I also didn’t have any asian-themed furniture. I mean, this is minecraft, so I had to make do. Here’s my kitchen. I always have cake in my kitchen.

This part is the lounge:

And the entrance/reading area:

I really do wish someone eventually recreates an entire Ultima map on minecraft. Perhaps even turn it into an AdventureCraft map! Oh the funzies one could have!
