Don't want to jack the New Magincia house auction thread with this more than we already have 
As most know I have a lot of houses that range from 7x7s up to the island keep. These houses each serve a specific purpouse, but I find myself spending more time at the smaller houses, even more so after the overland loot change since I can hunt quality loot right off the porch of most of the houses and unravel it for relic frags just a few steps away. At some of the smaller houses I can easily farm 300k per hour between gold drops, relic fragments and the occasional good major or legendary arti. Of course different critters drop different loot properties or atleast I believe this to be true, as I have found some critters drop a lot of splintering weapons and never some of the other properties. Anyway things like that contribute to my decissions as to where to locate a house. Some like the Zento Mountain house serve as the Skill Bank and Garden center simply because I can't fit that many raised beds and soul stones into anything less than a 18x18, the malas mining house is a 18x18 simply because there is not another active house any where near it, the Island Keep and 2 houses beside it are just my little secluded colony and serves as a hub to to all of the other houses. One of the things I enjoy most in UO is my housing strategy and the public service or profit potential each house has. I make several of the better hunt houses public because I know folks in general don't want to place a small house in these locations but enjoy farming these locations or mining at them.
I guess the real question is do you go for the Castles, Keeps, Towers and 18x18s, the closest spots to towns or moongates or place your house (S) in remote locations with thick spawn or resouces? Do you have a housing strategy or just plop one down and call it home? I know several folks have multiple accounts and some have even more active accounts than me, do you guys with a lot of accounts do something simliar as me in locating your houses or shoot for holding prime real estate?
