time to hunt for the loaded ageless houses!

when will this be implemented?

This is implemented now. Hybrid will no longer set a house ageless for military personel.
Houses currently set to ageless have not been scheduled to be changed.

My $.02,

1) No Ageless houses
2) Allow people on extended leave to moving-crate all household goods, or to load up a special no-charge/non-expiring/no-item count vendor, that staff could move to a unique holding area
3) Upon logging in after the extended leave and/or after a period of time after re-activating their account, allow them to clear out the special vendor or have it moved.

This will allow those individuals to sell off properties and bank the gold until their return. At which time, they can buy a propert(ies) to place their holdings

It's a fair option to all active shard players and it's a fair compromise to allow the extended leave people to reconvene their gaming efforts with minimal rebuilding.

I don't think the problem was the system they had in place, but more that people were abusing it.

tbh heres a list of how to keep your shit standing

1) NOT on the owner account, make a vendor on your house(s), and put 10k gold on him, and the rental contract for a month. This way you have a MONTH to refresh your shit. (trust me this works ive seen houses stand on IDOCs for 2+ weeks JUST TO BE REFRESHED (lol)
2) If you're smart, and dont have your kegs on display on your house, go ahead and ADD random 'friends' to your house. Add some famous IDOCers to your house, that way when they go through a door, it will refresh. LOL. just make sure theres nothing set to friends, and you're good to go. only thing they can possibly do to hurt you is clear your ban list, and if you're on leave, wont mean jack shit.
3) 'friend' some friends that know whats up. im sure if there your friends they will keep that shit refreshed. number 2 is a fall back if this one fails. sure, after the first couple times people will know they can refresh and will stop, but it still buys you time.

so basically, first month is not going to fall, vendors that make houses ageless need to be fixxed in my opinion, but it has it's up sides. Also, you can renew the contract for an additional month.
If your friends dont refresh your shit and it goes IDOC, and if the vendor has fallen, and say black sheep comes runnin through your front door, but hes friended, then you bought yourself another 2 weeks.

if it falls after that, then you've either died or decided not to find a computer in at LEAST a month that can log on to uo.

gl hf going to z

EDIT: but srsly log in every week just to dbl click a sign and hit the x button.

Agreed. And if they really care they can get friends to refresh their stuff.

some of those houses are confiscated I think and that might be the reason to why. for example a scripter miner would prefer a secluded house in the middle of nowhere rather than next to a vendor mall or moongate.. just me guessing though.
