Currently on UOSA, when redeeding a house the deed is redeposited in the players backpack. I dont believe this is how it worked on OSI. The deed would have been dropped into the players bank box, unless they were red.

There is also a gump prompting the redeeding of the house. The gump confirming the redeed did not exist until OU:R i believe.

Discuss.

Naw, it actually went back to the pack and was noobied.

Infact, besides the PvP tactic of dropping a house to log... (which BTW, towards the end of T2A you had to wait 2 mins to log off after fighting so this tactic could be avoided here with that fix) you could stay as a ghost and block a person from placing then, then the coast was clear, click "OK" res and drop.

True that... Good idea...

But forget that... That's as lame as the whole "Thou art a criminal and cannot escape so easily"

I hated when they put all that nonsense in UO. So we should refrain from patching in lame game mechanics such as the one quoted.

Oh, I don't like it either but it's era accurate. Otherwise we get into this business of what's 'cool' and what's not and it won't meet the mission of the shard.

Not being able to escape(recall, gate) due to being flagged or being aggressive is a UOR feature that is out of era.

The only criminal/aggressive block there was during the t2a era was insta logging.

I dun know how it was, or anythin' about this, but this could possibly have been related to house deeds being newbied, and if a red would die with the houses deed on him it'd be left on his corpse. (Blessed = stays on everyone, Newbied = stays on all copses but red ones)
