Thank you! Always annoyed me.Oh, something we forgot to post: house signs now properly update when the house goes into the next decay stage. You no longer have to restart your client or leave/return to see the updated house sign.
^^^ Agreed!here's the decay times from the new stratics updated page. it was updated 20 days after this update was placed on demise, it shows the OSI decay times as well. everything from OSI says the last stage is around 7 hours, the others are 24 hours, an all are subject to change based on server downtime, saving, etc. not a random number generator. demise uses a random times, the way demise use to be was only 1 hours off OSI Idoc time before this update. now it's completely off base, as of the update in this thread.
I absolutely used to love camping IDOC's. I attempted it last night on two different IDOC's. Hit the 15 hour mark and gave up. Having to wait that long sucks all the fun out of it. It's really going to have to be an awesome find to have me do an IDOC again until they change these times. I agree, 7 hours is more than fair!Yeah the last stage thing being 12-24 is pure hell for anyone even the hardcore idocer . When it goes the full 24 its pure torture. I mean think about it. Imagine having to sit at work at your desk for a full 24 hours. If you idoc then you understand this. OSI 7 hours is more than fair. That's about a shift at a paying job.

Actually, I don't really mind the timers. As stated in my previous posts, I indicated it had been a while since I've camped an IDOC. After last night waiting over 15 hours for a house to fall, and it still hadn't, I decided IDOC's weren't for me anymore. All I merely indicated was it would have to be a sweet spot for me to camp that long. I still think 7 hours is more than fair but that is my personal opinion. In no way did it reflect the job of the staff.
OSI got complaints at the time of the change as well. That is why several weeks later it was changed.
I understand how idocs can be a touchy subject with item count and lag.
