Anyone else having a housing problem?

[BobfromUO]

Ever since the server was down on Saturday, the house placement tools do not seem to be working. I have not been able to find any informaiton about this on UO or stratics. I was about to move my house a few squares, and i am glad I tested my tool before I demoed the old house. I have tried all my characters on 2 different accounts, with various tools including old ones and one I bought after the problem started. Anyone heard anything?

Confirmed; Tools do not seem to be working.

It is merely a coincidence that I was sizing up plots Friday night to see if any interesting structures could be built in the wilds of Tram now that some new spaces have opened up.

Well what they seem to have done was to block people from constantly dropping and placing houses. Guess the house falling hunters are going to be pissed. You can now only place a house once per week. Which is how I think they originally planned it to be. Guess it is thime for you all to go buy some pask horses. And for my 2 cents worth, I still think that there should be no warning of a house collasping. When the timer is up, it should just fall. Now that would be funny.

Can you give me youre source of info on where they have said that they will only allow one house replacement a week? Also this is what I get for working nights and not getting on til this thread is a day old and already just pure speculation (and maybe hope beyond hope bye the op) about the reason behind the tool bug is. Also I already checked and replotted three times this afternoon just to make sure the op was absolutly wrong since I really dont think the Devs at this point would do something to send at least half of what is remaining of there idocer base packing from this game. But I understand most of you dont respect or have any real understanding that idocing is not only a true playstyle but it is one of the purest and hardest to master.

Is this the sort of info you were looking for? ... 7 day cool-down between placing houses, but the replacing (resizing) is exempt.

(*worries I'm misunderstanding the question as I would think Plucky knows a lot more about housing than I do*)

No I wanted to know where Bob got this up to the minute report from the UO team (within the last 24 hours) that says the reason the tools were not working is a direct result of a brand new placing fix to prevent a certain type of idoc playstyle.
