My Zento Hub is gone for a while.

[Tyrath]

Got my CC Statement today that I use to pay for one master accts accounts and that is all that card is used for...... and had over $5,000 in charges to places I have never even heard of. The Card I use to pay the other 10 accts on a different master account was the usual $600 every six months that comes out in July.
Neither here nor there and the CC says I will get the 5k back in a day or two so no big deal and that card doesn't get billed until August/September for its UO SUbs.

I did decide to close the 10 accounts on that master account and remove all the billing info though and in doing so I removed 10 of my houses from Siege and Prodo. Including the Zento Hub House, The Ant Hole House, The Vesper Ant House, The Orc Mine house, the swamp house, and the Ter Mur Mining LJ house, and the house I put up for the arena. The others removed were not that interesting

I am going to set the hub back up at the Zento Garden House (Just East around the mountain from where the first hub was. It will have tiles to Both my Islands, The Wind Maze House, the wolf house, and Vics Rune Library. Will rebuild the Arena in November.

Nice tower spot open now a screen away from the Orc Mine Combat Training, LJ, Mining, and way off the beaten path.

Why did you drop your houses?

Why did you drop your houses?

funny I asked myself the same question... credit card problems I get but since the accounts were paid for anyways, why drop those houses?
Then again I get downsizing, especially with so many accounts!

 

[GarthGrey]

I like the farmer, but get the feeling he's a little, shall we say...eccentric ...so I just don't question it.

Why did you drop your houses?

I am not going to reopen those accounts and most of them would bill the middle and End of August. Yeah I know the houses would have stood another 90 days after that, but would have been no better than the dirt plots and ghost houses I complain about. Better to open the housing spots up for folks that might want them. What I kept house wise The Island Keep and 5 houses around it (Port Tyr), The Wind Maze House, The Tsuki Garden House, The little Ameba Island house, the Zento Garden house (Will be the hub) just have to re do the 1st floor a bit. For the arena I will probably drop the -=104=- Small Tower at Port Tyr and put a 18x18 up somewhere for it when the time comes. Downsizing was also something I needed to do $1200 per year for 10 accounts that I do nothing with other than hold house plots does not make much sense now days. The 10 accts I am keeping active are hard ones, that I have kind of gotten attached to over the years. And while the houses many of them have on Siege are smallish and mostly on the islands, they also hold my Zento SW corner plots on Legends and GL and my Castles with all my prodo pixel crack. And when you have to keep a coded list of which acct owns what house and on which shard and you forget to update the list and spend 6 hours looking for a castle on legends and then finally it clicks that it was the campasion desert castle that you gave to someone a couple months back you feel like a total moron. So 10 less accts means 10 less things to remember and keep track of. And as a added bonus of closing those accts and transferring the gold from the house drops to Mongbat I have a extra 5.25M gold from the drops. Housing is expensive on Siege And who knows some industrious young Zoogie hunter might want to place the Vesper ant house and the Yew Ant hole house and farm the Zoogies and run the powder efficiently with them. Or want to set up a little vendor house with where the Zento Hub was, or enjoy the seclusion and resources of the orc mine. I just find myself rarely if ever using any of those houses anymore and have not been using them for a couple of years now. I spend far more time at sea, in wind, and at the wolf house than any where else. So why hoard 10 houses that I rarely if ever go to I am actually considering closing 4 more accts and just keeping 3 in port tyr, the zento garden, the wolf house and Wind. I would then be down to a much more sane 6 accounts

 

[Tyrath]

One thing is certain there are 6 accounts I will never close as they are the original 2 I opened in 1997, 2 in 1998 and 2 in 1999 All the other accts are just noob accts I opened after AOS.
