Not sure how to title this...re-deeded item vanished but didn't?
So....went to re-deed a lighthouse....it gave the message *This item has been destroyed* (??) which is scary in itself! It did not appear in my backpack, there is still a sliver of it left in game...I cannot walk through that area as if the lighthouse is still there. Logged in and out several times, tried clicking on it, the first time it gave a message that ships linked to this lighthouse cannot be retrieved due to house customization or demolition but since then have not been able to click on it to receive that message.
I had 2 friends come and they see the same thing I do.
Waited until server up this morning to see if it somehow corrected the situation and it did not.
I know the whole GM's do not replace lost or stolen items blah blah but this is a game malfunction so needs to be looked into.
Thanks!

"what was your method of redeeding?"
has a tendency to fall down one tile
and when you axe it, it destroys the lighthouse.
I have lost a couple of them due to that.
once it did that when i had it on goza mats
another time it was on the traditional castle roof.
Joyce of Sonoma lost one on the original keep too
I reported it and got the generic email about not replacing lost or stolen items
(this was years ago before I knew that you could email Mesanna with bugs)
the first time it happened,
I actually had a GM show up
they told me that they could see the lighthouse inside the goza mat
but they weren't allowed to replace them.
(I had to throw away the goza mats, because you could no longer use them.
you couldn't walk on them any more)
It was on the roof of a castle, no goza's, no tiles, no carpet.
There is no single-click to retrieve or re-deed command on a lighthouse.
From what you said Cinderella it looks like a glitch in the way the item is created. Multi-tile items are pretty glitchy, just sucks that it happens to something that takes a vet pick.
At least someone came so that's a good thing. I was moving a castle over and changing styles so everything had to come out, saved the lighthouse for last, maybe it was mad that I did that!
So I'm out a lighthouse but now the team knows about the issue.
Sorry again Yoshi, was not ignoring you I promise!
Mariah....creepy! *I know where you live!* STALKER! *laughs* Thanks for the offer! You all are wonderful people
"Broken" multi-tile deeded items can have the graphic for an individual tile lowered or raised.
This unintended feature can be used to identify if a previously deeded item will return to deed or get destroyed. [If any piece can be raised or lowered, then the pieces need to be re-aligned on the z-axis before the item will return to a deed. Using an axe before re-alignment occurs will result in the partial destruction and loss of the original item.]
Hope this issue gets fixed before anyone else looses valuable items.
