This is an image of the statues that are located in Trammel, Oceania, at coordinates 20o 44'N 24o 19'E and I'd like to see these statues and other similar bugged objects removed from the list of objects that can be blocking house placement.
On my home shard of Oceania, there are a lot of these non-decaying bugged immovable statues littering the land from long ago, when Vorpal Bunnies were introduced. What happened is that people took them home with them because at that time it was possible for them to do so by using a bug that is no longer active.
As far as I know the way that these statues originally came to be on the ground and litter the landscape is that players who looted them stored them in choppable wooden containers, EG barrels, crates, chests, etc. When their house decayed, the wooden containers of course got chopped up by players eager to get at items in them which weren't an immovable bugged statue, and never knew that these statues would continue to litter the UO landscape forever.
The last time I paged a Game Master about this issue, they referred me to a page saying that they didn't remove blocking objects like this any more.
One Game Master I asked about a similar pile a long time ago, and which he happily removed, said there could be many thousands of these objects on a single tile.
I would very much appreciate it if these objects could decay rapidly and forever at some point when the publish to fix them comes into effect. I'm also sure there are probably more of these objects lurking around inside of player houses/bank boxes, as I recently visited a Castle IDOC on Oceania that had these very statues in one of the barrels in the house. It also contained stretched hides of various kinds.
That barrel fortunately disappeared to places unknown. However, these blocking objects are still in the game world, and should simply vanish from both player houses and from anywhere they've been left on the ground.
There are still the same statues on the vorpal bunnies, however, they now only weigh one stone, and can be looted normally, do not block house placement, and are not bugged in any way. Those statues should remain. The bugged statues weigh in excess of 100 stones each, and are not highlightable or draggable by players.
I'd also appreciate it if the orphaned barkeeps that didn't disappear with the fall of a house would also vanish. If they're no longer standing on a valid house tile, they should pack up and leave.
Cheers ...
