I just spotted this thread and peeked at your User Content. I don't see anything submitted If you have submitted designs, please post direct links to them in this thread so we can troubleshoot -- and file a support request.

If you haven't submitted anything yet, try starting a thread for "Vsigmar's Flags and Sails" where you can preview your work before submitting. You'll get helpful feedback from the community. Once you're satisfied your design meets all our 2D User Content Guidelines, you can then submit your design for voting. (Optionally, you can submit a link to it in the Flag and Sail Votes! sticky after you've submitted, which is the only correct place to advertise flags and sails you want to get approved.)

Also, as Danicia suggested, you can post a request in the Flag and Sail Requests sticky -- someone in the community may design your flag or sail for you

Hope this helps! I'll move this thread to the Flags and Sails forum in case there is some bug lurking here that we need to hunt down. Otherwise, happy drawing!

I'm sure someone thought it would be a veritable "plague on the seas," or something to that effect

Incidentally, the original Berlin was built by Dutch shipwrights. She's very typical of that tradition. In fact, I'm pretty sure the Berlin plans don't survive from historic sources, but were reconstructed by model-making companies based off a war jacht in the Scheepvaartmuseum in Amsterdam.

Very nice work!

Something to remember: your flags and sails would be sewn into the fabric, not painted over it. For this reason it is best to avoid 3D effects. This sail is the most successful in this regard. The others, while beautiful artwork, are too 3D.

The flags all look lovely, though

It's great that you're helping organise a PVP tournament! But the best way to go about getting designs approved as prizes is to follow the encouraged procedure:

1) Start a "Flags and Sails" thread, which I've renamed this as for all your current and future flag and sails preview;

2) Post your work directly into this thread for feedback;

3) Once you've gotten feedback and are confident your designs meet our 2D User Content Guidelines, then submit your work.

4) Once you've submitted your work, you can post links in the Flag and Sail Votes! sticky.

That said, remember that 3D shading effects usually look too modern for the period. Using an unshaded outline or silhouette will generally yield better results

Looking forward to seeing some previews, for these and other flags and sails!

Have you created user content? If not, then you won't see any. You'll only see the flags and sails that you have created.

If you are like me, and not good at that sort of thing, you could see if there are any flag/sail makers on your server and commission something for you.

It will happen two ways, most likely:

1. They'll created and submit it. they still retain the rights to it and once it is in the game, they'll just do a trade with you.

2. They'll create a design for you, but give it to you personally so you can submit the design as your own. Once you've submitted it and it is accepted into the game, then you'll see it show up on the vendors.

If you have submitted a design and you know it was submitted and has been accepted, you should submit a support ticket so the UC team can see why it is not showing up in-game.

Once again thanks and I enjoy your game.
The team thanks you!

I've played a lot of MMOs as a consumer just like you and have never received a bonus like this for downtime. I'm excited at putting it to use myself.

Once they're approved and put into the game, you just visit the Flag/Sail vendor in the newbie port to "buy" them. They'll go into your personal inventory. Once you're back on your ship, you can hit "C" which brings up your character. Click on the ships tab and you can customize it from there.

If you have any more questions about how User Content works, you can check out the User Content - Flags & Sails forum.

Cheers!
