Holiday 1997
In celebration of the first Holiday season in UO, the developers planned a few treats for the players. The first of which were NPC Santa characters who spawned with various properly named reindeer throughout the lands. Thieves were able to steal pairs of black leather gloves from these characters. Seers held player events in various dungeons during the month of December. Most notably was the distribution of gift bags to the players based on their notoriety.
