IDOC monters?? LoL http://boards.stratics.com/php-bin/u...31&fpart=1#TOP

There is no need for any of that stuff. Just let the house fall and add a simple timer before a new plat can be placed.

None of those silly ideas are neccessary.

They have definitely lost it over there at that other forum.

Yeah, a 10 min timer would certainly be sufficient.

I agree, thats crazy talk. I do see the point of the discussion over there, and adding to UO is all well and good, but not like they are saying. There are plenty of reasons to gather up with other players and fight "big monsters". Homes IDOC are not one of them in my opinion. I've done my fair share of hunting down housing in danger of collapsing, and have lived in the same 15x14 on Atlantic forever after selling the accounts with 18x18s. One day ill find a new large home on my home shard, or buy one, I have no desire to participate in an event to do so.

Note: Depending on your shard you can place large non-18x18 homes all over the place anyway. Ive placed and sold 4 18x18 homes in 2006 alone on shards other than Atlantic.

They pulled the house deco tool and water barrel changes from the publish!

From Jeremy posted in Stratics.......

Two of the changes published last night will NOT be published to any other shard, and will be removed from Origin (see the Publish Announcement here). Wanna guess which two?


We put in a fix last night that was supposed to prevent people from placing a multi-tiled item over raised single tiled items and then lowering the single tiled items, breaking the multi-tiled item. This fix prevents players from raising or lowering one item through another, but does not otherwise affect decoration.

However, we have a situation. As you know, item placement is more of an art than a science in Ultima Online, and there is a significant concern that this change will affect more than just the specific situation we intended. In order to more fully test it with all the wacky stuff house decorators are fond of doing, we are going to remove the fix for the moment. It will later be placed it on the Test Center (Watch for announcements!). We would very much appreciate you all taking the time to check out this fix as soon as we get it up on TC, and help us determine the extent of the effects of this change on house decoration in general.

Note that this means the bug is NOT fixed. If you have a multi-tiled item (such as a bed) sitting on top of raised single-tiled items (such as goza mats) do NOT attempt to lower the single tiled items. If you do, and discover your multi-tiled item is broken, do NOT attempt to redeed the item or you will lose it. Instead, page a GM to fix it.


The other fix that is being removed is the water barrel/field spell house placement blocking change. We’re taking this one out because although it does do what we want it to, threatening to change it has brought to light some other issues that need to be fixed. We will be looking at making a more complete set of changes to house placement and IDOCs in the future to make things more fair to players (and hopefully woefully unfair to scripters )

IDOC's are deinfatlly not my style, I did them for very short time... finally a 15 x 15 was falling in after I only did 2 that be my 3rd, I was able to place down the dirt plot before everyone else and got myself a home! Yay me!

I guess a timer be nice but then again for the people with "faster" computers they would out do the "slower" computers quite a bit and wouldn't be as fair so I say just keep it the way it is...

Strangely enough, I was thinking just that earlier today when I was browsing U.Hall and seeing some of the highly absurd or irrelevant topics being discussed.

"Hey! Here's an idea I came up with that the developers should put into the game despite that fact that the very nature of the idea deviates significantly from any current short and long term plans and also despite the fact that the developers rarely implement any of the millions of ideas generated on U.Hall!"
