For those new to UO Forever, this shard isn't like others, economy wise, not even close, while there are a lot of great things, & I like the dono coins, I like the fact that gold is worth gold, gold is worth a lot more on this shard than others, meaning if you grind in a dungeon and get 20k in an hour that 20k is actually worth 20k, on other shards if you grind in a dungeon and get 20k that 20k is worth 20gp because of the inflated gold prices, so I like the economy of UOF because gold is not inflated. That said Real Estate is a bit strange on UOF, if you were a real estate tycoon/mogul/slumlord on other shards don't expect to be on UOF. Real Estate is *not* a good way to make money on UOF, role playing Donald Trump won't work on UOF because of a few factors.
1. Limited accounts
2. The value/rarity of gold
3. Deed re-sell value is greatly lowered / Plot-dropping gold loss system
4. The demand is low
5. Lots of medium sized plots available if you look
When a prime 18x18 spot goes for 1mil or under 1mil, you know your 15x15 isn't going to go for squat unless it's in the most prime spot in the game, or perfect for a particular customer. I placed a house and I need it for storage but when it's time for me to upgrade in size I will 100% be losing on the placing cost because nobody will buy the plot at cost, this is apparently standard. While this is an issue on smaller dying shards I believe this is not the case on UOF as this is not a small dying shard, it's a large growing one. So if you have tons of patience and don't mind sitting on a plot for 2 years to even be able to make 50k profit good luck. This post is to point out how the Real Estate game is not a profitable one on UOF, the 200k cash in your bank is way more valuable than that 'great' plot you found and want to try to make 25k profit on, you'll end up losing money if you try this, just a heads up.
