I have it saved in my razor video folder. He posted it on forums but then deleted it, not sure if he didn't want other people seeing how to do it or if staff asked him to take it down.

This happened to a friend of mine. Also, his house was locked and a table barrier was definitely in place. Somehow they got past all of that and got looted his house.

Sure, now that you can get pwned in a small it's the end of the world. When people were complaining about eating chain/meteor/pots in our larger houses it was lol-tastic.

Has this been verified to be inaccurate, on both demo and live?

No, this does not work on either the demo, nor on live servers.

Staff should leave this in. It sickens me to see them trip over themselves to spot fix issues like this (ev's in large houses in the past) while leaving in the much larger issue of making castles, keeps, and towers simple trammel storage chests.

Staff should leave this in. I agree! I don't see anything wrong. All I see is two scribes being pwned 2v2.

We used to house loot ppl by summoning a horse over their trash barrel, then mounting the horse to get in, seems like a similar mechanic.

If they don't got a barrier, yea it did ^.^

Edit: Yea I didn't realize it was not like that here. But i remember using this at some point when I played uo.

It was on a freeserver I know that. Sorry for the confusion my post made guys.

So even if I have a barrier in my small, it can easily be looted if you get in the front door?

When you mount a horse on UOSA, the horse comes to your location, not the other way around, so no, that wouldn't work. Not on UOSA anyway.

Ok, I've been trying to follow the two threads on this subject and get my head wrapped around this exploit that allows home owners to both be killed inside their own home as well as have their house looted as well.

I guess a simple question could be proposed, how exactly does this exploit benefit the existing community as well as new members?

If you are an established member or simply prefer griefing houses, then this issue poses no threat to you. But if you are new to this server (like myself) or if you simply do not have the cash flow that some people here do, then this poses quite a threat.

Part of the joy of purchasing a house is to have a safe haven for your goods or place to go to do your own thing. What's the point of spending money on a house if someone can simply come along and loot everything that you've worked so hard to obtain? There's no benefit whatsoever, in fact, all it will do is push new members away and leave a dwindling community where everyone just hangs out at the bank due to boredom. If players want the exploit to stay in game, then it looks like we'll be enjoying a game where everyone simply loots houses and kills players with AOE spells... then they go back to sitting at the bank.
