 This
weeks establishment is one that even I know of! The Trinsic Rose, Found
near Trinsic Moongate is this weeks Establishment of the Week. Why? Well there
are alot of roleplaying establishments out there and its about time we gave one
its spotlight!
The Trinsic Rose is located near Trinsic
Moongate, Check the map to the right for a better idea!
Before we visit the tavern I managed to
get a few words with the owner of the tavern, Gwen Irima,
Here is what she had to say!
 Mapper:
How long has the tavern been around?
Gwen: Heading for the 3rd
anniversary this coming January, So that would be
*counts* January 2005.
---
Mapper: Have you always been
the owner ? Was a lady named VanQa when I last went.
Gwen: I am the player of VanQa
but also the player of the new Owner Gwen Irima :P and
yes I have always been the owner :)
---
Mapper: What time is it open?
Every night after 8pm If I remember, But are there any
nights when its really busy?
Gwen: Its open on Monday and
Friday from 7 to 9-10-11 pm depending on how busy it is.
The busy nights change all the time. When there is a lot
to do in the world it is quiet, but there is always a
regular amount of guests between 4 to 10 people.
---
Mapper: The taverns moved now
to a tree house design and different location, What made
you change?
Gwen: The reason was mostly
space. It's the tavern but also the building I "live"
in. Also the more space allowed me to put two rooms for
rent back in for people who'd like to stay in the tavern
for a few days or longer. A nice side effect of the
bigger tavern area is also that I can set it up for
special occasions, like a birthday party or a fancy
dinner for many people.

Mapper: Onto the game itself
now, Have you tried Kingdom Reborn? Do you like it?
Gwen: Hehehe Trick Question? Do
I get cookies if I answer it correctly ?
I try Kingdom Reborn on a regular basis because if they
are going to force us to play it I have to know how to
play it before that time comes. With making the Trinsic
Rose and the other buildings in the Elven Quarter I have
logged in into both clients to make sure it all looked
good in both Clients. I prefer the 2d version and I
think it is a big shame they are eventually going to
shut that down. Kingdom Reborn looks pretty... but if I
were a new customer and saw the game in the shop for the
first time I would not have bought it.
---
Mapper: Final question, Do you
think roleplay is as popular as it used to be? Have the
number of roleplayers stayed constant?
Gwen: To me personally
roleplaying is what makes Ultima Online so much fun (I
started UO in 2000 and started roleplaying about a year
later). The day there is no more roleplay to be had with
other players is probably the day I'll stop playing
myself also. The numbers of roleplayers appear to me to
have dwindled (became less) a lot lately, more then in
the past. But the numbers go up and down all the time so
i am not worried yet. There are still enough folks
around to roleplay with and perhaps once KR has
officially started new ones will come..
A big thank you to Gwen Irima for
answering those questions!
Now onto the actual tavern, I visited it
in both 2d and KR as always.
2D
The bottom floor contains rooms for
guests to rent out. Furnished with even the latest deco.
The 2nd floor, The Tavern Floor!
With tables for groups, couples or singles it is well
thought out!
The whole house, See how it merges
in with the trees? Clever!
KINGDOM REBORN

Final thoughts on the house? In KR the
forest roof merges better with the forest trees, The tavern
floor is also very deeply coloured and really had a feeling
of 'wood'. The decorations are amazing and I love how even
the latest items are found, Example being the UO Logo Icon
on the bottom floor.
- Kingdom Reborn can look forward to a
new patch soon! The major new toy to play with!
