I know this is going to sound kind of weird, but last night someone managed to convince us it was worth a try. Instead of using painfully annoying random IDOC timers to thwart IDOC scripts, we are going to try putting the times on the house sign, visible when you single click the sign. I figured we can do some of the easier housing fixes and changes that have already been ages in the waiting, since we are messing in the houses anyway.

Players can no longer enter castle courtyards using travel spells.

Players can lock down and secure items in the courtyard of their castles.

Housing storage and lockdowns have been increased 25%.

The 1 tile row in front of classic houses can have items locked down on them, except at the corners of the house.

House decay stage progression and collapse occur at the time they are supposed to, rather than being linked to world saves.

The no-placement delay corrected to be 20 to 60 minutes, randomly.

Final stage of IDOC changed to 6hr, as per latest version of the housing system on OSI.

Decay times will be visible when single-clicking the house sign.

Accounts already owning a house will be able to place additional housing, causing the previous houses to become condemned.

These are ready to go, and will be put in tomorrow morning, eastern US time, along with any other misc changes we deem ready.

We have decided, based on several factors and feedback, to delay any changes to the housing decay system until the houses currently condemned in Luna are gone.

We are leaving specifics out, but also included are:

Also, new mobiles, tamable mounts, and minor systems supporting custom permanent and event additions to the world.

Additions to donation store.

HS boats.

I wish you would reconsider the travel spells into castle courtyards.
There have been several times when recalling to my castle the location was blocked. I later found I could recall into the courtyard and have never been blocked. It is very convenient to recall into the courtyard. Please reconsider that one change.

Its a BUG. its not supposed to work this way

Maybe making an opt-out setting in the house would be a good plan.

I have to agree with Nighthawke on this one, I wish you'd reconsider the travel spells into castle courtyards.

Please rethink it, it's not like it hurts anything. And, quite honestly, OSI doesn't always make the best decisions.

bump. red items have been removed, at least for the time being.

Nice

Thanks, for listening to us.
