As of today at 2:00pm ET the housing system has been brought back online. This includes housing decay, placement, transfer, demolition, and resizing. Thanks, UO Team

if they're doing that they should say so. they didn't. only safe 2 assume they aren't.Given that the population of PR is only about a million more than Houston proper, and 2 million LESS than the Metro Houston area (Houston plus its suburbs and satellite cities), it should be easier to do a search of the account database and selectively protect any accounts recently active on the island.
The blanket pause on housing was done when one huge area had already been hit, and all of Florida (almost 21 million people) was in the crosshairs of another hurricane. So, it looked like potentially 1/10 or more of the US population could be affected (counting the states along the coast north of Florida). PR is only about 1/100, and probably under-represented on UO compared to the 50 states (or even DC).
I'm not being insensitive, but suggesting the better way of handling it would be for EA or Broadsword to apply 90 day codes to all accounts on PR that have been active on July 1 or later. After all, they aren't going to be able to use the time they've paid for already, probably for the next 3-6 months. It would be more fair for everyone that way. The one that would probably object would be EA.
Atlantic or across all the shardsAnd something went reallllly wrong..
There is over....over.....over 200+ houses collapsing...
So its a guess. Not a confirmed number for a shard or all shards.Well, I can say this for sure... they paused the "House Server" for 30 days, but everybody thought that by doing that, houses that would collapse on Sept 20, would now collapse Oct 20 and That is Not what is happening!!
so imagine if normally We would have 5 or 6 Idocs per day, because they turned OFF for 30 days, now we have 5 X 30 days, so pretty much you will have 150+ Houses, per shard, falling this week, so you do the math!
Yep...I remember the last big house fall.....back when Hooded Shroud of Shadows was a thing...had like 12 of them in my beetle and someone placed a house on top of it and it poofed :/I'm sorry. I'm not sure I understand.
What went wrong?
Just because folks thought something, doesn't mean it was going to happen.
They've turned of housing before and what currently is happening happened then also.
Sheesh! That is just too Wizard of Oz....no ruby slippers or anything though!Hooded Shroud of Shadows was a thing...had like 12 of them in my beetle and someone placed a house on top of it and it poofed :/
*frowns* A personal attack from a moderator is a disturbing thing indeed.I never said they were - I was suggesting that they consider it - especially since PR's circumstances are several magnitudes worse than Texas or Florida.
(Hell, on the drive to Herndon for the Anniversary, I passed a convoy of utility trucks returning to NEW BRUNSWICK, that had gone to Florida or Texas to help with utility restoration - a long drive, but at least DOABLE for Harvey and Irma recovery; PR's location on the other hand)
The real question is if Broadsword wanted to do such a thing, would the greed of EA (who controls many more aspects than you would imagine, but most importantly the revenue stream, which is why you buy Sovereigns from EA, not Broadsword) allow it?
Did you not comprehend what I said, or do you just get a perverse pleasure in misrepresenting what others say, and hope the lie outlives the truth?
I think the point was this:Isn't this pretty much what was expected to happen? I'm not surprised at all, they were past their time to fall and now the timer has come back they all just got bunched up.
