If that is what is going on, i.e., a house isn't "condemned" until the account is unpaid for 90 days, then the publish notes need to state that!!

When you place a new house with an account, your first house immediately gives the message, "This house is condemned." To me, that means your house is condemned because that is what the message actually says. How hard is that for someone to understand???

It's hard to know what to think when the publish notes are so terribly vague and misleading. It would take someone from the dev team literally 5 minutes to write a response to clarify this issue so people will know what is going to happen if they decide to move their house in UO. The fact that no one ON THE DEV TEAM can be bothered to do so is not making me feel like wasting a whole lot more of my time or money on this game. I appreciate that all of you people who appear to just be regular players like me are trying to answer this question, but honestly your responses have no credibility with me on this particular issue because I have absolutely no way of knowing or confirming that you are not just guessing about this or whether you have some 100% certain, foolproof, tested to the max insider knowledge that you are basing your statements on.

I would really like to see Mesanna or Bleak or Kyronix or Misk clarify exactly WHEN does a house become "condemned" and the security settings are wiped for these two situations: (1) You place a new house on an actively paid subscription and your first house starts to decay; and (2) Your account has been unpaid for 90 days and it starts to decay.

If no one on the dev team who I am sure are probably reading this thread has the gumption to get in here and clarify this point, they have no one but themselves to blame for people losing even more confidence in their ability to manage/develop/shepherd this game any further. And yes, I fully expect that one of them can answer this ON THE WEEKEND because it was THEIR CHOICE to put this on TC late on Friday. No boohoos from me if they have to work on a Saturday, Sunday, or a Monday instead of their usual Tuesday-Friday schedule.
I don't have a definitive answer on this, as I've been out of town for the past couple of days dealing with a family matter. The change is not on TC, and has not been deployed to production. There is still time to answer any questions you have.
