Hurry house decay!!!

[Silverbird]

Go find an 18 x 18 non felucca house spot on Atlantic and one on Great Lakes. Let me know when you've found them.

Maybe not an 18*18 but definately max lockdowns on GL. I was able to find a place for a 15*18 within 5 minutes. (Ok ... it was where I had a house and still own the rune to there, but that is another story.) After around 10 minutes, i found a place for a 17*18 and have stopped looking. (But I know, where I could look for runes for empty housing spots.)
I have not checked Atl becourse I dont have chars there. Especially not trained ones with runes.

I called Customer Service again today and worked with them to try to get my 7 accts fixed.

Again, we got to a point where they said it would take someone else, that would have to call me back, to fix the issue.

I pleaded that it has been weeks with no call back and could they just find the person and let me talk with them but I was told there was no way for them to do that. I would have to wait for the call and that it should come some time tomorrow.

I made sure they had my Cell number as I am seeing clients tomorrow and hung up.

All I can do is cross my fingers and hope for a call and you want to turn on decay?

Thanks for nothing, guys. Nice way to be selfish... "Hey all my stuff is ok, so I guess it's time for everyone else to be out of luck!"

Several of these accts predate 2000 and one predates Tram. If I lose those properties because I can't get live person on the phone when I call then I am not going to be a happy PAYING member.

I totally understand your problem Retrorider. I have told everyone who is chomping at the bit that there is STILL players with major problems on their accounts. You are not alone...

Look the rest of you, I understand many of you live to IDOC... but I am telling you its one thing to get a persons house that could give a fig less if it falls BUT when it comes down to a player who is battling CS one would think you would have SOME compassion.

Many of us are still talking to CS, waiting on 3rd Tier e mails that move like snails .. they only get their e mial once a day and dont answer right off the bat back. Speed is not their forte.

It's a conversation that could have taken 10 minutes on a phone to get across in e mail takes 5 days. I could have sworn e mails were almost instantainous in this day and age. I could have gotten an answer from my grandma in NY by now and she is DEAD!

All I was doing was turning on accounts, how can you get suspicious activity out of giving you my money?? My IP is blocked.... how hard can it be to lift the block? IDK is their answer... let me escalate this to the next lvl......(I understand many of you got throught it quicky... but some of us are in CS hell).

I can show you dozen's of malas 18x18's on Great Lakes. There has not been a shortage of max storage houses in 4 years or more.

Everytime I run around the shard I fill a rune book.

If they do clean up the unused houses you will not believe how much open space.

I love idocs, but many people are having serious account issues. Show some patience and compassion please.

I'll up that. I found and placed 2 houses reciently on Atlantic, and 18x18 and a 16 x18 right next door. 2 weeks before that i placed a 18x18 and sold it as i didnt need it at that time and this player was a returning vet I knew from serving in iraq. So saying Atlantic is not effected by the player loss is far fetched. I agree with you, there are so much open space that when house decay hits I am so afraid they will look at shards so empty....

I spent about two hours yesterday searching for hosue spots on Atlantic. The biggest I could find was in fel 10*14 and that was when someone found it for me.

Mesanna owns one on LS (a castle) - doesn't say illegally placed, but if you get ejected and put out under the house sign, you're at a bit of negative Z-axis (essentially the sea bottom).
think she's worried about any others she has? Not! must be nice to be the king.
as related to migration and safe keeping of people's stuff, along with the current track record of fixing things, correctly, I don't think I'd worry about this for ...years?

My point was NBG seemed to think there is a glut of large housing and only people who want castles complain about blocking houses but that's incorrect on those 2 servers. There may have been dozens of open spots on GL before the Free House Exploit Week 2011 but now I doubt there's much more than 1 dozen spots in Malas.

As for the spots you found Lady Storm they aren't exactly open spots for other people to place now are they? Don't 18 x 18s still sell for a ton on Atlantic? People can't just set out to place an 18 x 18 and find one, they have to get randomly lucky like you (most people aren't IDOC hunting with decay turned off which is why you probably found open spots.) Even with it on such high prices ensure there is plenty of competition to place every available spot.

P.S. I'm still waiting for a link/name for your anonymous EA spokesman talking about houses dropping with no notice when its turned back on.

Thanks for your support Lady Storm.

Good luck getting your IP block removed.

Lets sacrifice the majority of of community to satisfy the Atlantic/GL server need for housing. We might as well shut down all the other servers because you happen to have no interest in them.

I am really sick of all the self serving arguments to get IDOCs turned back on prematurely and have my main concern ignored. I will say it once more, the possibility of losing more player out weight any reason you can come up with.

 

[Salivern_Diago]

Um, the majority? Sorry NBG but those with issues are a minority. As I posted earlier alot of those with issues are down to the fact the new account system is confusing and not exactly easy to work out. For a small group of people however things have been screwed up and for that see what I posted before.

The main reason there are issues is becuase there has been little communication from EA. I've said it before and I'll say it again now. Due to EA's reputation, if it hasnt been fixed now it'll never get fixed. All they need to do is hire a decent team of DB engineers and they can get it sorted in a couple of days using the backups and whatnot. That'll fix the missing 'characters'.

As for those whom EA wont accept the credit cards etc... you'll have to use something else for the time being as I doubt EA cares about it too much becase at the end of the day if your waiting to give them money and they're not jumping hoops to take it. Then they obviously dont need it.

EA just needs to get with the program and fix the damn issues. I want decay turned back on ASAP but EA needs to fix the problems and I really dont have the confidence in EA for them to do that.

Even taking care of the "owned by OSI/Origin" houses would be a very good start.

The UO Japan team posted an announcement yesterday regarding an investigation into some problems with paying by credit card and one possible solution, but the translation I get using Google's online translator is not good enough to really understand exactly what it says. It's here if anyone wants to have a go at it themselves:

[Salivern_Diago]

Hmm ok from what I can work out on the 14th something was done to try to correct the issue. For those who havge thier credit cards failed I think it says to remove all billing and retry adding it. If that fails then to go to the EA store and add your billing information there... I think?

Lets hope its a kinda fix, its not perfect but hey at lest the asian shards are getting updates... WE'RE STILL NOT GETTING ANY INFORMATION, cos y'know we dont want to spend money or anything... 'cos y'know that would mean EA gets out money... y'know...

 

[PapaKarlson]

Sorry they wont according to EA spokesman the minute the decay is on the houses that are past their 90 days (some are way past with severe billing issues) will drop. What he meant by that I have no clue but he said they will go poof. no warning on the doors etc is my thinking the house will just go poof. now idk if this also includes the contents as part of the house ..but i wouldnt put it past them.

source?

 

[Ahuaeyjnkxs]

She has over fourty accounts... dude. how rude... noone needs sources, the silence we experience is the source... duh.
