Sannio on Housing Refresh Reinstatement

On the MyUO Discussion Boards, Sannio added to the discussion of the reinstatement of housing refresh:

As you know, all houses have been auto-refreshed for several weeks. OSI's own Prophet mentioned recently that we are likely to reinstitute a limited form of housing decay, but only for those houses that are listed as Condemned.

This would likely occur before any other housing decay resolution (such as the method "ownerless housing" transfer concept described here), and there is a small chance it may occur around the onset of the new year, or perhaps even just barely before that time. The plan is not to turn off auto-refresh for all houses, but to take a small-yet-significant step in returning to a healthier housing situation by allowing Condemned houses to decay over time as was standard in UO until mid-September.

Houses that are not Condemned will continue to be auto-refreshed.

When a more comprehensive housing resolution is put forth into the game, well, we don't want anyone to think that we intend to simply flip a switch and destroy several hundred houses at the same time the ball drops in New York City at midnight at the onset of the new year. That is not going to happen.

We want a far smoother transition than that, for those houses, or housing locations, that will be changing hands.

If/when any changes occur to housing beyond allowing Condemned houses to decay, we will give as much advanced notice and details as possible.
