) are allowed to be popped into the moving crate ?Hm, people can already move items to the moving crate, just place a wall on them. But yea, something should be done to keep people from effectively getting infinite storage out of this.I agree with this to a point though. Yes move them to the moving crate but ONLY til the next time that account logs in. Have a Warning come up like a system message "Warning "X" items were moved to the moving, you have 1 hr to remove them or they will be deleted" For you know as well as I if they get to stay there indefinitely people will abuse this to no end. It will put an end to my cleaning & just tossing stuff I don't want onto the floor to decay. Unless they do it so only bags/box's/chests/bod books (done bod books 3x's on a floor when rearranging types & forgot them
What makes you think the moving crate doesn't count towards your lockdowns?
I know it does, but with the idea i presented there would be a loot hole that would force items into the storage crate thus effectually allowing for infinite storage. Unless the items were either removed after a short period, or the items werent moved unless the house owner had enough storage to store them.
.
That would be the obvious solution. It wouldn't make sense to move items to the moving crate if they don't have the storage for them.
Snakeman's idea to auto-delete them after a period of time would solve this problem. And if they auto deleted after a time, they wouldn't need to take storage space, to prevent trash other people throw on the floor using up all of a house's lockdowns.
10 Million iron ingots - even in stacks of 60k these would be 166 stacks alone?
I like this. Not exploitable and very feasible if you ask me.
Sounds good. The method doesn't matter. Getting the effect of no longer accidentally losing unlocked down items is the only important thing.
Those are good, but i didn't make this thread just for the people who read the Uhall, hundreds of people who don't read these boards who are effected by this... while it's a good list, not all of us can stay paranoid all the time about losing items, it's not in our nature. And everyone gets careless. They're all good ideas, especially customizing the house (except for those with legacy-style houses or houses with several illegally place items). But as i said, no matter how good the list is, it'll only affect those who read the Uhall, and this thread specifically, which really isn't that many.
I'm sorry but, how exactly do you forget to lock something down?
Sure, I posted a list of four things that should be common sense to anyone who has played UO for a while. It's not about reaching the masses with information, but more about pointing out obvious information. I was trying to do it politely, but that's not really my nature.
Was this on chessy in malas?I had a map of known world unlocked on my floor for more then 4 weeks before it disappeared
On Europa in Felucca
The most common way is to be locking down things, and get in a hurry... and slightly mistarget something. I do this with plants all the time.
Well I guess I'll keep the one I found then!On Europa in Felucca
They were from an idoc, they don't decay (like vet statuettes and tap of sosaria, phillips steeds, etc etc). I used to be the only person on Baja as far as I could tell who'd stick no decay items in the courtyard of their castle, but the trend seems to be catching on now. (Really) old furniture and items won't decay either, makes for interesting deco out on the grassy area. I mean in a way it's totally worthless since you can't really show off no decay items, anyone can just pick em up if you don't keep your place locked, but then again it's kind of fun to be able to do up the courtyard.
Of course if they made that area lockdownable I'd have a bunch of hedges and other plants out there in second, and use all that old furniture for firewood. Yes...10 million....and yes...I know its over 125 lockdowns...
