I swear the GM's friends get a little "help" with house placement. There is a guy on Pac that gets 95% or more of all the large (Keep or Castle spots) placed, that he is at. Seems a little odd since there always 6 or more people trying to place, and the placement time is "random" now.
Hi Nyses! Eve L Antagonist here. You mentioned some things that were directed at me in general chat so I'll respond. I've been hunting IDOCs for about a decade on and off. I know how housing works. I know where houses fit. I know what blocks placement. I also know if you page a gm and kindly ask them to delete a blocking object that is or will prevent placement when the timer is up they come and do that. It's you know... their job. You can ask them to do it as well. They are probably underpaid and like free stew...
I see the others talking and half of them have no idea what they are doing. They burn tools and stand there waiting for the timer. They show up and watch IDOC houses for HOURS AND HOURS. Not to mention our server is pretty dead. Go try and place even an 18 x 18 at an Atlantic idoc and see how well you do.
Tram swamp castle, lost, someone dropped a keep, there was a bugged ladder in the way and gms pages were broken.
Fel swamp castle, placed a keep beating Ruby and 1 or 2 others. Had a gm eat the stew and resized to a castle.
Placed the fel cove castle beating the 1 guy there who was still looking through stuff I think.
I beat a LOT of people at the Fel castle, they were pvping, I was sneaking.
I lost to Rafman at the Tram castle, burnt tools.
The last Luna house went OBO so I didn't bother to stand there 24/7 until it fell.
The last 2 keeps spots no one bothered to place and they sit open.
Placed a Zento 18 x 18, we were trying with 4 accouts vs 2 guys on 2 accounts.
That's hardly 95%.
Other castles or keeps I placed I did it by upgrading smaller houses to larger ones. You'd be surprised how many 18 x 18s are in keep spots and others don't know keep will fit. I tell people all the time on our server they can upgrade their houses if they want.
As you can see from Mandrakes reply it WAS an owned by osi house and I was correct in what happened... Almost like I know how the housing system works huh? Spooky huh? OoOooooO
