At least we know the UO store crab does not eat leather...

The following items will be deleted during house collapse,
Please make the Grizzled Mare a 5 slot mount, it's incredibly rare and deserves it. Some of us have been waiting a long time for this simple addition.
: [Crystal] Norry Adimos says: i am sure you have seen all the negative feedback about publish 108 regarding idocs
I got the chance to talk to Kyronix in TC while we were waiting on a house fall, and he examined their thinking...
(paraphrased)
If a player doesn't pay on his/her account enough to keep their house full of stuff from falling with their personally gained vet rewards, they must not want them. With 90-days to preserve the house - and those particular vet rewards are IN the house - that player must not want them anymore.
Further, since no other player can use those items, why should they be kept?
I did tell him that players do return, or other players keep those items in memorium (particularly for those who have passed the veil), but he was already discussing other things with other players at that time.
There was a comment further about this - about putting these specific items into the player's bank or something, and a reply was.
"Then the items should be in the bank."
Translation: if the player wanted to keep them - the player should keep these items in their bank.
And that was that.

so basically its looking like at a 10 barrel idoc 1 - 2 barrels have anything worthwhile the rest of the barrels have trash.
oh and for the record setting house placement to be based on when the last barrel falls is absolutely ridiculous seeing as how the barrels get broken in less than 30 seconds, we would be back to basically insta placing at an idoc something that was fixed years ago, so no that is a terrible idea
I have 'tidied up' a few houses for people who left, I always put important things in the bank in the hope they may one day return.
If ever any of my houses went IDOC, if something happened to me, anyone attending would be very disappointed. I own no server birth rares, no EM rares, in fact no rares at all. To someone who habitually deals in items worth many millions, or even platinum, everything in my house would be classed as 'trash'. Instead of assuming someone else got the 'good stuff', perhaps you should consider that there wasn't any 'good stuff' to get?
The barrels are stocked randomly, no one knows what is in which barrel, not even the scripters,
You delete all the reasonably priced and heavily used veteran rewards and any craftable materials that promote gameplay but deeded goza mats were found important enough to be included in the barrel loot table. Trapped boxes were OK to fit into that loot table.
Did you think people were getting rich off Ethereal Mounts and stacks of Ginseng? There was no point in deleting these types of items. This actually gave everyone including new players a chance to get something decent enough to trade and get a plot of land or some usable equipment.
UO history is being deleted with each house decay. Part of me feels that there's more on that delete list than what we're told.
IDOCs, to me, are now just a place people gather for a plot of land. You removed part of the game that I and many others enjoyed and turned it into something that feels like a waste of time. At least people still show up to PVP. I assure you, they're not there for the loot - just the castle plot. I bet you anything that PVPers would rather PVP and let the barrels decay than stand there throwing their fists hoping that something other than a deeded goza mat ends up in their backpack.
Why can't we focus on new content instead of trying to change existing, non-broken, fully-functioning content that doesn't actually affect other people? Joe Schmoe running X script looting IDOC Y doesn't affect my gameplay whatsoever. I can name about 5 other topics that are literally broken and/or promote illegal gameplay AND actually affect other people's in-game experience.
Having trade ministers announce idocs and having the drop time display on the house sign were good changes. The rest, especially deleting items are simply bad ideas.
