Asherons Call: State of the Code: Problems with Housing Purchases

| 21 Sep 2002 01:01

An important update from the Zone on housing:[blockquote][i]Warning: On Purchasing Mansions and Villas in September

We have discovered an issue with purchasing Mansions and Villas in this event. If you purchase a Mansion or Villa while the dungeon area of the house is not loaded into the world, the hooks and storage chests in the dungeon will not be informed that you are their new owner. Therefore, you will not be able to access any of the hooks or storage chests in the dungeon area of your new home. If the dungeon area of the house is loaded into the world when ownership changes, however, all of the hooks and storage chests are updated in the normal fashion.

For this reason, if you are purchasing a Mansion or Villa this month, please ask a friend to stand in the dungeon area while you complete the purchase. This forces the dungeon area to remain loaded, and thus the hooks and storage chests are updated properly.

This issue will be resolved with the next monthly update. At that time, all of the affected dungeon hooks and chests will have their ownership automatically updated and will once again be accessible. Alternatively, a Mansion or Villa owner with this problem may choose to abandon their house and then re-purchase it while the dungeon is loaded. If you choose to do this, make certain that the dungeon area remains loaded by stationing a friend in the dungeon during this process.
