Good afternoon everyone,
We will be releasing a new client and Publish 89 to European shards this evening and all North American shards during the regular morning maintenance cycles.
IDOC Housing changes
The changes we have made are to IDOC houses. Below are the details of the changes we have made:
- When a house goes into the condemned stage the house will go private and all access will be removed.
- Trial accounts will no longer be able to pick up loot from an IDOC house
- When the house drops Grubbers will spawn with some of the house loot in their packs, you will have to chase them down to get the loot they have.
- After a house is in the IDOC stage the timers are no longer random, it will drop at either 5, 10, or 15 hours, with the exception of houses with rental vendors. Houses with rental vendors will become OSI owned and have to go through a cycle for the second time to notify vendor owners.
