Spring cleaning ticket 800pts.jpg

Spring Cleaning 2008 was an event initiated by the UO development team in order to appease players that had been complaining about spending a majority of their characters' storage space on seemingly useless event items and holiday gifts. It was later expanded to include a wider array of items, including many that were still regularly dropping, in order to make sure that players who had not spent their time hoarding event and holiday items would not be left out. Some event items, such as Ophidian Rations and Slippery Snake Skins, were even reintroduced to give people something to turn in.

The Royal Council Massacre event likely accounted for a good deal of the turn in points earnt, however.

Turning In

Similar to the Clean Up Britannia event back in 1999, it involved turning in specific items to various NPCs stationed in strategic city locations for varying amounts of points, based loosely on the rarity of the item turned in. A player would drag the item they wished to turn in and drop it on the NPC that accepted that specific item. The NPC would then spawn a turquoise-colored ticket in the player's backpack that was labelled with the number of points to which the turned in item corresponded. The player would then take the tickets to a special chest located inside the southern guard tower at the gate to Castle British, double click the chest, and then turn in their tickets in the style of a Cooperative Collection. Since the points were distributed first as tradeable, insurable deeds, players could also attempt to sell their points to the highest bidder instead of turning them in themselves.

Phases

Spring Cleaning 2008 was released in three phases, with each phase bolstering the turn-in items and rewards of the previous phase.
