Private houses - why?

Why would a private house bother someone so much?

[/ QUOTE ]

Doesn't bother me at all actually. When I left UO 4 years ago (stopped playing but account was kept active) a majority of the houses I recalled being open to the public and usable forges were only as far away as the nearest house - been back now 4 months and I was curious what changed - hence the questions about it.

If a person wants to make their house private for whatever reason, more power to them - it is a shame however that a number of people are doing it (based on the posts here) only because they fear being robbed or a victim of some exploit. And like someone else pointed out, if there was a problem with unchecked burglary of UO homes (I also think) these forums would be full of posts about it.

I don't think the problem/reason is credible - exploiters go steal from my house if you can, i'll be glad to post your success here.

I agree with this one ... especially with security settings allowed on doors and teleports. Perhaps allow the first floor open to public with forge, etc available. Simply set teleports or doors to anything other than "Anyone".

Private virtual houses are good because they give people a place to cyber.
