Spring Cleaning 2008
In early May of 2008, another of UO's periodic collection and reward redemption periods was initiated. Entitled Spring Cleaning 2008, it is a variation of the old Clean Up Britannia program whereby people threw away a lot of things to get points that could be used to claim items.
The following message was included in the publish narrative, "Publish 52 institutes the first round of Spring Cleaning collections and rewards." The sentence bespeaks of other rounds to follow this spring. However, EA employees have been known to be a little loose with the english language. Skeptics have pointed out that the line could mean that another round could come next spring, anytime, or not at all. The dubious have also noted EA's difficulty with deadlines.
Regardless, certain items can be exchanged for Spring Cleaning Tickets, which in turn can be exchanged for certain rewards. For a full list of exchange items, rewards, and NPCs that are involved in the actual exchange, please see the following lists.
Notes
- Ophidian Rations and Slippery Snake Skins, which are among the turn-in items, are still spawning on Ophidian corpses.
- Spring Cleaning tickets can be insured.
