Keeping animals in your house...

[StDrahcir]

I boxed in 2 animals in my 2 story (tried it on both levels) to help train my provo and I lost conn. I noticed I had lost conn around ~30 minutes after it occurred. When I logged back in the animals were gone. I tried boxing them in flush against the corner. I then tried giving them some room to roam to see if this would do anything ot help them stick around.

On both occasions they disappeared. I am not trying to stick an animal in there permanently, but it would be nice if they at least stuck around for a few hours in the case if you lose conn. Its annoying to have to come back and repeat the process if I happen to lose conn. I seem to remember in the early days of UO you could stick an animal in your house for a good amount of time.

There's currently a problem in some areas with the tamed creatures returning to their spawn location, it doesn't happen to most of them but I think this is unrelated to your d/c

We're working on it. Thanks for the report

Need me to report to you or PM you where my house is located to help you guys out?

Actually, reporting where the creatures that disapeared were initially found would be helpful.
So far I know the sheep in Del and one of the Nightmare spawns tend to do this.

I will PM so I don't give out my house location.

I have been trying to keep sheep in my house and have noticed after a couple of days they disappear. I usually retame them at night before I log out. Is there a time frame that I have to retame them in the next day to keep them?

I kept them in my house since the night of April 22. Then mon. (4/27) night about 11:30CST I tamed them before I logged. The next night around 9:30CST I logged in and they where gone.

Is it possible people's animals are being house-killed?

I tend to kill sheep inside houses. In towers, Castles and Keeps only the center few tiles are safe. If you have the Keep on Ice island that holds them, I probably killed them. So I do not think that ALL your sheep are returning home, just dieing. I used to keep 400+ sheep before they changed the sheep growing their wool inside houses thing . . .

Ok, house kills is one possibility but is there something to do with the server as to how long you can have tamed or untamed animals in your house. Or a time frame that you have to have the animal re-tamed in?

There is, but it isnt daily . . . . If the animals go without being cut, or tamed . . . . usually cutting them is good.

What Derrick is saying, is some animal regions will "call back" their spawns . . . but it seems that its only if you get the animal from that area. So if u grab sheep from all over the world, you would only risk loosing a few of them.

I had successfully kept sheep in my house for a while some time ago until there was a server crash and it was down for a bit. I think the spawns were reset to fix the crash and that is what I attributed my disappearing sheep to.

It is a good way to make money though. Hope this gets fixed.

[Derrick]

I've found the problem with this and it will be fixed in the next publish.

I just had a giant scorpion disappear from a tower. Tamed him several days ago from the desert. Gated him to the tower, boxed him in, and released him. I happened to have a character in the same room as him when he disappeared and saw nothing nor anything in the journal to indicate why he disappeared. Nothing was attacking him; my character was just sitting in the corner of the room.

Is there a time limit or maximum amount of creatures you can keep in your house ?

[Sandro]

Unless its changed I believe its like 20 hours they will decay if they are not attacked.
