Now is your chance to win a castle in Malas! You read that right, a 32x32 footprint CASTLE! On March 25th we will be giving away 5 Castles on each shard. All you have to do to be eligible to win one of the 5 Castles is have an Ultima Online: Samurai Empire access level account that was created or upgraded between November 2nd 2004 and March 18th 2005.
We will randomly select 5 winners on each shard from all eligible accounts and the winners will be notified via the email address associated with your account, so make sure your account information is correct. You can update your account info HERE.
Make sure you are eligible to win a piece of history today and upgrade or create a new Samurai Empire level account!

A: No, we will randomly select 5 characters from each eligible shard as winners. The castle will be awarded on the shard that character was on when it was selected.
Q: If I have seldom-used characters on other shards, do they have a chance of being picked?
A: Yes!
Q: Which shards are eligible for this contest?
A: All shards except for Japanese shards are eligible.
Q: Can we know where exactly the castles are located on each shard? Do we have a choice of which castle to select from the 5?
A: Winners will be given one of five randomly chosen locations on the shard the character resides on. Winners will be notified of their new castle location upon winning.
Q: Does the account have to be active? What if I upgraded an account to UOSE, then canceled it a few months later?
A: Yes, the account has to be active, in good standing, and have Samurai Empire access level at the time of the drawing.
Q: What if I already own a house on the account that is chosen as a winner?
A: You can only own one house per account, so you must either condemn your current house or you may choose to trade or give away your new castle. We will be happy to help you transfer ownership within the first 15 days. If you have not chosen to accept the new castle and you have not traded it after 15 days of winning, you will forfeit the castle.
Q: When will the winners be selected?
A: Winners will be randomly chosen between March 19th - March 23rd 2005.
