House bannings per account and not per character

[MatronDeWinter]

Reading through the "tg killed me with archers" thread has made it clear to me that everyone here understands the impact that multiple accounts have had on this aging game. It's true, things will never be the same as they were during T2A's production run. UOSA has made it perfectly clear that it strives for mechanical accuracy, with exceptions in some instances (bless deeds come to mind). This leads me to bring up this topic.

Bannings on houses should be per character and not per account. The way I see it, if people can employ such tactics as, using archer bots, placing 15 houses, or stride through cutting singular bandages, then this should be a viable tactic as well.

If I am banned from a house, I should be able to make an additional 14 attempts at entry. I know the argument is going to be "Well the ban list is so small". In that case I simply point out to you that I could have had 3 accounts during production T2A, and I may have used them to garner more entry attempts on houses that I was banned from. I see no reason why this should not be implimented here.

If thats how it was...
but that seems really scary being you seem able to generate new characters in about the same time I need to shave again.

In 1999 OSI moved to account banning rather than character banning.

I'll find the patch note.

House bans of players will now be by account instead of by character. All current players you have in your ban lists will still be banned, but it will not automatically convert them to account bans--you will need to reban them for their whole account to be banned.

Stumbled across this:

* As many have discovered UOAssist can't macro the new tinker menu. I'm looking into the changes made so an update can be made."

I am pretty sure the new tinkering menu existed on all shards when this patch hit. However, the exact look or art of that gump is unknown. The menu did have the more modern tab pages but it wasn't clear and was different than the standard version that was applied to all crafting skills later on. There is no way to actually replicate this menu without a screenshot of the original. The original menu had loads of bugs too.
