Ultima Online (UO) is known for its deep player housing system, including the ability to build and customize Keeps, which are large, multi-story structures. Keeps offer plenty of space for storage, vendors, and role-playing. Below are some key design aspects and ideas for Ultima Online Keep Designs: Basic Keep Layouts Keeps in UO typically follow a rectangular or square footprint with three floors (ground, second, and roof). The standard keep has: Main Entrance (often with a secure gate or porch) Central Courtyard (open or enclosed) Multiple Rooms (for storage, crafting, vendors, or RP) Staircases (leading to upper floors) Roof Access (for decoration or defensive purposes) Popular Keep Design Styles A. Medieval Fortress Keep Thick stone walls with defensive towers Iron gates and drawbridges (using teleporters or moats) Barracks-style rooms for guards/merchants Armory and dungeon areas B. Noble Estate Keep Elegant marble floors and decorative pillars Grand hall with a throne or meeting area Gardens or fountains in the courtyard Library or alchemy lab for scholars C. Dark Gothic Keep Blackstone or shadow-themed walls Blood fountains, pentagrams, or necromantic decor Torture chambers or hidden crypts Spiked gates and eerie lighting D. Asian-Inspired Pagoda Keep Curved roofs (using clever tile placement) Zen gardens and wooden bridges Paper lanterns and bamboo decorations Dojo-style training rooms Advanced Customization Tips Multi-Level Staircases: Use teleporters or hidden doors for secret passages. Custom Roof Gardens: Place planters, benches, and decorative items. Vendor Showrooms: Organize merchant stalls in themed rooms. Themed Wings: Split the keep into different sections (e.g., armory, mage tower, tavern). Interactive Elements: Use switches, traps, or player-run events.

The War Within brings so much fresh content to WoW. The new zones are absolutely stunning and the storyline is engaging. Been playing for 15 years and this expansion reignited my passion for the game.
The new raid content is fantastic with challenging mechanics. However, there are still some bugs that need to be ironed out. Overall a solid expansion that keeps me coming back for more.
