-The demand for customized Castles and Keeps grew as more players were able to attain these buildings and wanted to differentiate themselves. Eventually, a system for implementing player input in the new designs was created. During the publish cycle, a contest is held on the [[Test Center]]. Players are allowed to create either a customized Keep or Castle design, which is voted upon by other players. The top 5 are selected for publish, with an additional design selected by the developers (6 designs total). This system went into place with the testing of Publish 101.

-Introduced with the [[Age of Shadows]] expansion, custom houses were a ground breaking system redefining what housing was and could be. No longer were players restricted to a dozen or so styles. The new limit is imagination.
+Introduced with the [[Age of Shadows]] expansion, custom houses were a groundbreaking system redefining what housing was and could be. No longer were players restricted to a dozen or so styles. The new limit is imagination.
 Custom housing is available in a variety of sizes from 7x7 up to 18x18. Once a plot is placed, you can enter customization mode through the house sign and build your dream home. For further details, please see [[house customization]].
 ==Owning a home==
 Once your house is built, what do you do with it? That is up to you. The function of your house can vary greatly from a storage depot to a guild headquarters to a PVP hot spot or just a place you use to unwind after a long day of slaying monsters.

 One of the most unique and exciting parts of UO is owning a house. To date, no other MMO has implemented a system quite like it. The ability to place, decorate, and customize your own home is one of the greatest aspects of this game.

 Once you have located a home and decided on a price with the seller, you both meet at the house. The seller opens the house sign and begins the transaction process. A trade window opens and on the seller's side, a glacial colored deed is shown with the house information. You then place the agreed upon gold/items in. Both parties accept. You now own the house!

 House buyers do so for many reasons. They don't have the time to look for a spot. They can't find one because they want a large. They want a house in a specific location. Etc.
-One of the main advantages to buying a house is it is usually a lot quicker than placing yourself. A big disadvantage is the price is usually 10x or more then what it would cost to place yourself. For very large homes such as [[Small Stone Keep|Keep]]s and [[Castle]]s, buying is pretty much the only option available to most players.

 Once you settle on buying, there is another decision. Whether to pay with gold or cash. The really pricey homes, such as the ones in [[Luna]], usually only sell for cash. There is no real secure method to handle such a transaction and going about how to pay by cash is not going to be covered here.
