Re: Corrado's Guide to House Placement and Ownership
Sometimes you can have unpassable objects under the center of your house. My bucs den small tower for example, has 2 small bushes that you can't walk through, right under the floor. Yet a different house I have has a single tumbleweed "shouldn't block house placement, can walk through it" blocking me from upgrading the house to be twice the size.

Re: Corrado's Guide to House Placement and Ownership
yeah, and since i have also realized, as much as they say idoc-fall is 16.8 hours after showing up an hour late to about 10 idocs, i realized these numbers arent completely accurate.. but best we go to go on for now :/

Re: Corrado's Guide to House Placement and Ownership
yeah the numbers are wrong. i found a greatly worn house yesterday at 7pm, checked it at 9pm it was idoc and at 11am the next day it was already long gone so i think it might be little less than 16hrs.
if anyone knows the real numbers please share!

Re: Corrado's Guide to House Placement and Ownership
From what I can tell it's somewhere between 12-14 hours. I've heard people saying it's 14.4
idocs have changed a lot since I last played 2 years ago. So much more difficult for the solo idoc hunter to get anything. Murderers and teams have a huge advantage due to the housing placement tools not being blessed anymore + the need to move every item to place.

Re: Corrado's Guide to House Placement and Ownership
(I corrected typos in the original quote, because I can.)
The math isn't totally accurate. .58 hours would be just under 35 minutes. 35 minutes would be closer to .02 days, not .2 (missed a decimal place). However, it's closer to .024 days, if you want to be anal. And I am. =P
I've seen an IDOC stand for at *least* 16 hours... so even if it's not 16.8, it's dang close. Over the last few times IDOCing I noticed a trend on them, that I'm going to keep to myself because... well... I like lewts.

Re: Corrado's Guide to House Placement and Ownership
Yes, there are spots left for house, I have placed a 7x12, a small tower, and a small 7x7 just by walking around. What's the lucky part is, is getting the larger homes/ plots.
Placing a 7x7 has a better chance then placing a 7x8 or something larger.
Although, it is rare to find these spots. Usually what happens is, That there was an IDOC the day before, and it had fallen, and nobody noticed it.
By the way, Corrado, nice guide. It helped me out a lot when I first started IDOCing.

Re: Corrado's Guide to House Placement and Ownership
I am at my wits end, how do you unlock something?
I have tried "I wish to unlock this" "I wish to unlock this down" "I want to unlock this" etc etc etc! I miss the days when all you had to do was click on the house sign to unlock something or just type .house to access all the commands.

Updated to reflect server changes and some added info.
I'm glad this guide has been a help to so many. I stopped playing not long after posting it, and lost all my stuff, just came back and started again. Figured I'd update the guide as some things have changed since I played last. The new decay times are noted, as well as more info on permissions.

Re: Corrado's Guide to House Placement and Ownership
Finding an empty spot is VERY difficult on this shard. You might find a spot for a small in an unpopular area (jungles or swamps) but that's about it. The best bet, is to get a runebook, 16 runes, and walk around marking runes at greatly worn or idoc houses. Try to check back on them as often as possible, then place when they fall. Obviously the larger houses/plots will have a LOT of pvp/pk action around them, the smaller ones usually aren't bad. Good luck.

Re: Corrado's Guide to House Placement and Ownership
One thing seems to be wrong in the guide. It is actually possible to lock the door to a public house.
My house is public, and the door is locked. It was transfered to me being public, with the door unlocked. I hadn't noticed (I know, too stupid of me) and got 2 characters killed while AFK macroing. After that, I locked it with no problem.
I have a question. Is it possible to avoid being killed inside the house by people from the outside? Someone killed me the other night while AFK macroing (I know, again!), I think the used Earthquake or something like it. :-(

Re: Corrado's Guide to House Placement and Ownership
Well, on custom homes sometimes the doors can be locked, even if public, but not all of them as far as I know.
As for getting killed macroing, you need to stand as far from the walls as you can. The center of a small tower or bigger is safe. EQ won't kill you, just take you down to 1hp, they still need to hit you with meteor swarm or chain lightening.
