Ok i got an issue that most of you might have encountered or will encounter sometime during your UO experience:

One of my guildmates wanted to transfer temporarily his house to anyone in order to transfer it to another char of his on another account. In order to help him I took the house, thus condemning my house. Thing is we made the transfer but my house is still condemned.

Questions:
- How many days since the house falls?
- How many days till I transfer a house from character 1 to character 2 and from character 2 back to character one 1?
- I believe this is a bug, the house status should renew since i now got only 1 house. Why nothing has been done about it?

I don't think it is a bug and actually believe, if i remeber right it says in your transfer window that you will condemn any other house and transfering this one will not uncondemn it.... i am not sure of the exact number of day till you can transfer it back, think it is like 7 though, i also think they did this to prevent people that were transfering houses back and forth to keep more than one house per account......best bet for you is transfer to a new player account if you have one, are free for 30 days then transfer back....or if you don't want to activate a new account.....if you can find someone you TRUELY TRUST 100% (depending on stuff in house and location) that doesn't have a house to condemn have them hold it for you till you can recieve it back...

hmmm i will transfer it then to the char of my guild mate -i trust him completely- for...7 days right?

So since i took the house last night and then gave it a couple of hours later to his new account, then i could give my house to him today and then, wait for 7 days till my "counter" zeros and i can actually accept a house again, right?

I am not 100% on the 7 day time frame but yes the process sounds about right. You should have no problem accepting the house again after your counter zeros.

You have 7 days as was said. 7 days till it goes idoc and 7 days till you may receive another house.

This is an intended feature. Whenever you accept a second house for any reason, whether it be via trade or placement, your current house will always become condemned. It is not a bug. Even if you are to get rid of the newly acquired house, your condemned house will remain that way.


I recommend doing this if you have two computers or someone to help you. Create a dummy trial account and transfer the house over to that account. Have the account hold the house till you can transfer it back to your main account then cancel the trial account.
