Technically you can have three houses per account...
- Atlantic or any other prodo shard
- Siege Perilous or Mugen
- Test Center
Refreshing is usually done automatically and your account needs to remain active, if not your home(s) will start to decay after 90 days
This true, However, if you try to resize your atl house while having a house on siege or test it can bug out and not let you place. I do not recommend keeping a siege or test center house if you arent going to use them often.
I think the timer was changed to 15 hours for those... fun when your there and it drops, however not fun when your waiting for hours and get nothing
House will fall after entering in danger in 1 of three time slots.
1. 5 hours
2. 10 hours
3. 15 hours.
If there is a server down during this time you need to at around 15 minutes depending on the server.
If there is a revert after server down you need to add that time as well. This time is hard to figure out unless you were actively playing/watching a couple hours to server down.
If a house has vendors on it it may go osi based off who owns the vendors.
If the house owner owns the vendors as well the house will drop like normal.
If the house owner rented out vendors to other accounts the house will go OSI.
Once OSI houses have the tendency to randomly fall. Most make it to fairly worn but after that there seems to be some bugs that cause to fall before completing the cycle. Even if it does complete the cycle and go to in danger it may not fall at 1. 5 hours 2. 10 hours 3. 15 hours.
These changes were made from a system that worked perfectly for years that the devs "intentionally" changed after a severe duping incident "correction" caused idocs to go nuts.
Basically the devs "fixed" an exploit which caused idoc timers among other things involving time to go hay wire. After words they came up with a completely new system for idocs. Some good changes that came out of that were private houses, so scripters couldnt put a trial account at every good item in the house. Also they changed trial accounts to be able to not pick up items from idocs. Though there is speculation that there is an exploit for that out.
