March 28 - O*T Arena, ECL venue

The arena was built by the O*T (Order of Truth) guild, to house the Europa Chicken League fight nights - ECL began with a test match or two in late 2009, opening for the first 'League Season' in January 2010.

Seasons run at 12 matches, on Monday evenings 8 PM UK time every second week (the two week gap is to let people have chance to get, hatch, bond and train chicken lizards if they enjoy their first visit!).

We try find a fair match for any pets that owners want to fight, so have a reasonable stable of 'house birds' who are not eligible for prizes. The points system is simple, two birds fight and the winner scores one point. Each eligible bird only gets to fight once per evening, so a perfect season score ( which we have never seen!) would be 12 points. Betting on the fight outcomes is run by the house, and the champions get a suitably engraved statue and appropriate prize at the end of the season.

February 16 - The Bloody Brew

The Bloody Brew

As you first walk into the building, you find yourself in the tavern, more often than not staffed by Edwin McCormick. Be sure to say hello. Here you can take a stool and order up a fresh mug of our finest collection of worldly ales, liquors, and brews. We famously house our own private labels ---

Pandora's Perfect Pinot Noir (Red Wine) and Lair's Red Mist (Red Wine Spritzer). We also are surely to stock some of the land's best known labels such as Olympus Rum and Aegis Brandy. Some of our lesser known items on the menu hail from a collection crafted by our half-breeds skilled in Mixology... but that's a secret you would never know. Many come on Thursday evenings from far and away places to enjoy their time at the Brew.

July 10 - Moonglow Beer Garden

Moonglow Beer Garden

Moonglow Beer Garden, the origin of the

Waxing Dark Brew, is built by the legendary IGM Talos. It is used for various festivities where food and drinks were being served by the Moonglow City Council in as late as 2001. It was also an assembly place for the Royal Britannian Guard and for the tournaments held in Valoria and Spiritwood. It is destroyed by the Shadowlords in March 28, 2008. The garden is rebuilt to the same location by EM Emile Layne in 2011.

January 19 - Pax Lair Mage Tower

Pax Lair Mage Tower

The Pax Lair Mage Tower, one of the Twin Towers of PaxLair, is among the oldest and historically richest structures on Chesapeake. With PaxLair now celebrating 13 years as a player community, the Mage Tower has seen much in its life, including Lord British and Queen Dawn. It features many Seer and Interest Game Master (IGM)-placed decorations and usable items which still exist and function today. It's a must-see destination on Chesapeake for those interested in UO history or seeking an active and mature player community.

August 01 - Cove Gate Fun House

Fun House, Especially built for new players for a bit of challending fun finding their way from room to room via hidden doors and passageways, while searching chests for free stuff along the way. The goal is to make it to the Treasure Room at the end to sift through the best free items.

June 01 - Barter Town

A town of thieves springs up near Minoc on Siege Perilous shard. How could the Britannia Guard allow such a thing to happen? The poor residents of Minoc leave in fear of their belongings. Miners avoid the mines as they will be robbed blind.

January 01 - Britiannian Coalition Auction House

Near the auction house, you will find the Britiannian Alliance Guild Hall, where meetings are held regarding alliance business. Also, you will find a rune library rich in tons of places (Please be aware that the runehouse is still a work in progress). To the south of the auction house, you will find the houses of the great britainnian bank designer, Vladimir.

Aug 01 - Runic Abbey

Apr 23 - UORares Rune Library & Rare Museum

The museum was founded shortly after the Samurai Empire expansion. The collection and rune library were first rate. Unfortunately the museum had a tragic end in January 2006.

Mar 21 - Jolly Roger Inn

In December 2007, Hawkeye Pike was washed ashore again in Vesper. After 6 years he had finally returned to Britannia. In March 2008, he decided to try and re-unite the pirates of Catskills once more. Hawkeye reestablished the brethren of pirates to pillage towns, mug landlubbers and conquer the sea. He built the Jolly Roger Inn at a perfect location: The sandy beach of a small lagoon south of Trinsic. Other pirates soon settled in this area, which became the headquarters of the United Pirates guild.

Feb 18 - The Grand Britannian Repertory

The Grand Britannian Repertory is located just outside of Zento's north eastern gate, and houses over 1,500 books, making it the largest library in Ultima Online history, and the primary center of lore on Atlantic. The library is open for all visitors, and is available for lectures, studies and events.

Feb 21 - Goodman's Rune Library

This Rune Library on Atlantic is the legacy of Frank Campbell (aka Lord Goodman) who established his library on the shores of Magincia Beach. The Library continues to evolve and serve the Players of Atlantic. Two new buildings will be opened in the spring of 2008 dedicated to the history & memories of Atlantic.

Jan 31 - THIEF Gift Shop & Imaginary Petting Zoo

This vendor house / museum has found itself in many different locations on Napa Valley, but it's always been run by Chad Sexington. It was originally established in 1998 as a small marble workshop in the fields of North Minoc.

-A long time ago there used to be a section on the UO homepage that would feature a picture and a little snibbit about an established house in UO. It could be a museum or vendor mall or just about anything. I think this could be done on UOGuide as well. Not only done but improved. Each establishment would have it's own page created that contains whatever the owner wants to put there. Here is the process I was thinking of:
+{{tocright}}This is a list of establishments featured on the [[Main Page]]. You can submit an establishment by following the instructions here: [[UOGuide:Establishment Submission]].

-) Establishment owners create a UOGuide page with picture(s) and the appropriate information
-) We pick through and rotate the featured establishment every week or sooner
-For example if I wanted to submit my former museum I would create a page titled [[Atlantic:UORares Museum & Rune Library]]. I have to include at least one screenshot so it can be shown on the main page. I also put down the shard, coordinates, facet, website (if any). I can also include a history and other things.
