doubt it, they wont take the time to do that, they wont be able to tell the difference between the old ones that were there for 10 years or so and the new onesdont think they will let them stay
*waves good bye to the houses*
you never know. wouldn't it suck if a bunch of greedy opportunists were suddenly homeless in a month?doubt it, they wont take the time to do that, they wont be able to tell the difference between the old ones that were there for 10 years or so and the new onesdont think they will let them stay

i only tossed down an 18 by 18 in guard zone to resell it
The last time this happened, the owners were given a warning that their house would be dropped by the GM's if they didn't drop it themselves.
Somebody posted about it on UHall yesterday but when I tried to find the post again I couldn't (so either it was deleted or I didn't look hard enough).
You mean like all those OSI owned houses that still haven't dropped after years? Yeah, I see them jumping right on it. And then, tomorrow, they will fix the duping problem and balance pvp.
It was pretty easy to figure out once people learned that the guards had be bugged out of existence. Casting area spells in town, pk'ing and placing houses share the same theme.
especially since most placers are very aware that it is a bug.
I have seen houses in guardzones for years. Those were allowed to stay and weren't considered 'scams'. That's not to say that EA won't get around to dropping any new house that was recently placed in a guardzone. But, as per the norm, consistency is an issue.
The houses that you have seen in GZ's for years are grandfathered in because the house placement rules were changed after they were placed. I don't see consistency being an issue.
You don't see the fact that a player can walk up to a guardzone and see a house that is legal and walk up to a guardzone and see a house that isn't legal as an inconsistency? How exactly are players supposed to know which of these guardzone houses are grandfathered and that if they buy them they won't get dropped by the devs tomorrow versus those houses that aren't grandfathered and will get dropped tomorrow? Do the signs say "Grandfathered house that won't be dropped for being in a guardzone"? If they do,then my apologizes.
I think the fact that they werent there yesterday is a good clue they are new.
Hi there!
What is going to be done for those players that bought these new houses not knowing they weren't one of the mysterious 'grandfathered' types? I assume nothing but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised.
YAY DRACONI!
Depends on the scam. Those that sold houses in guardzones inthe past sold 'grandfathered' houses. So the people that bought them didn't suffer as much as in this case. The point isn't that the scammer should be helped in any way, but like the bans on people that owned 'duped' items vs banning those that sold them, it seems like EA is focused on punishing the victims.
