<Draconi> ...the next publish, which will roll in fixes for house scripting exploits.

*ponders* I wonder what this will entail.

Connor Graham also raised some questions

My exact thoughts. What does it mean? How will it work to "make it fair to all players" as was said? Will it only cover part of the methods, or all of them? Will house placement be handled differently altogether?

Give this girl (?) a job,for her great ideas

Number 1
Disable the housing tool so it cant be used while hidden.
Number 2
Disable the housing tool so it cant be used until 10 seconds after being hidden.
Number 3
Disable the housing tool so it cant sit open for more then 2 minutes.
Number 4
Change the housing tool to 25 uses. It will wear out.
Number 5
Change the housing tool so only 1 tool can be in a back pack.
Number 6
Add a delay of 1 day before you can use a housing tool, once you click a tool/tools 50 times in one day. Not place. Open.

As many more posted their take on Draconi's statement,he posted a little more info.

Some clarifications:

* The next publish (after Valentine's) will have features related to house plots, including some fun things and long awaited bug fixes to combat scripting house placement
* Until then, the flaming rubble will remain, and the house plots you see there will not be placeable
* Do not mess with our new designer, Adida - she has serious skills

What sort of exploit was going on then?
Hold on, don't ban me already!
Not asking for the method or details so people can replicate, just asking what problem (how is it that people can actually do whatever they do) and the results of the exploit are.
