Public Service Announcement - Courtyard Doors

.

I rebut your claim, with this caveat: if this translates next into any way for the admin to 'clear' out marked runes for any reason (even under the guise of a gold sink or some other 'beneficial' umbrella), then yes we'd be stepping into areas I don't think we want to go.

However, I think it is in a home-owner's right to know if their court yard (which I would argue IS a part of their house space) is secure or not. You buy a Fortress/Castle so you can have a court yard, it is part of your house selection decision. If you didn't care for a courtyard (which I don't) then you'd get a few Towers or Small Keeps to equal the same amount of storage/lockdown space.

Knowing if your CY is secure can also lead to increase in property value if you can provide hard evidence that a court yard is truly 'secure'.

Also, why not let this lead to a blackmarket opportunity? You can start making PM requests for people to buy/sell/trade courtyard runes which are now known to be in existence.

I think with the new cy moats old runes will not be accessible if marked under the bridge.

No rune marked anywhere in the CY, even ones that were pre-patch marked in the air, will be valid after the moat goes in.

A CY moat = A completely brand spanking new patch of land.

I believe Telamon allowed this tool to be used to alleviate some madness he probably gets when players complain that the only reason someone just looted their entire house is because they hacked into their CY. The tool let's the player see that in reality there was X amount of runes marked in their CY, even though they thought the CY was safe for years.

For example, I thought my CY was safe for over 2 years I never saw a single person recall in there. Then one day I was looted. I didn't jump on the "I got hacked bandwagon" but it lead me to really stress out as to how many of my CY runes were out there. Granted, my stress shouldn't equate to any changes, but imagine Telamon's stress when this happens to 20 players and they are all going ape shit bananas at him via PM's.

Tool created, problem solved.

And to put to rest my CY concerns. What I thought was a single rune to the CY in the secure on the front steps, turned into 2. One directly under the other. All runes to my CY have been accounted for to my satisfaction. Will pots a pic of said cy & should tell the reason for my concern !

Thank you Telamon, Russell, Liberation & Mes.

You guys first need to understand things like this from both perspectives, is it kinda trammel as fuck... hell yes, does it combat a huge chunk of useless item counts just sitting on the ground blocking peoples courtyards... absolutely. Alot of things that are added are to combat you stupid fucking hoarding pieces of retard keeping thousands of useless items in your houses.

Moats blocking all prior runes are handmade Trammel on delivery. I'm going to assume they also kick people outside of the main footprint if they were logged out in the CY and log back in to a moated CY. This reporting is like a frosty glass of Trammel juice that we can all satiate our thirst for knowledge with, that we should never have in the first place.

Continued removal of risk in this game is directly contrary to the stated goals of the shard. This is sad but really no longer any surprise.

So true. The fact that it is necessary to explain people the huge carebeareness of sharing this knowledge that was never to be supposed known is just maddening.

And this knowledge is neither for new and young players, good for increasing the population, era accurate or any improvement of the era mechanics. It's just a total unnecessary service for the established (everybody with a CY is established) players that now can be happy lazy or whatever with their CYs. This is decreasing risk that any vet should be able to counter with their own means. Now, you suckers have super selling points and know exactly which CYs are in risk. Be happy.

PS: Where is stat loss on pets?

I have a rune to 2 Fortress CY and large Keep CY. I'm not sure who all they belong to. BWA AHHAHAHAHAHAH

Wish I had interwez to check my spots.

*cringes and holds up crucifix*

Can you lock a keyring down on the steps in front of your inner CY door? If so, and you don't keep the door locked... well, I don't know what to say. Sorry you got looted but you're a dingbat.

I disagree with the Trammel comments. I mean, it's only temporary and it's not on the live sever (although I think it would have been better to keep the rune coords secret and just reveal how many marked runes were in existence). Additionally, I would think that/even assume that all courtyards are compromised at this point. Even if I had live permanent access to the tool, and it told me there were no marked runes, I would still keep my door locked and still have a table wall.

Yup, Snapdragon, whom I hate for violating me in my own courtyard, taught me a valuable lesson about CY security. I have like a 3 table wall barrier in to my house and everything of value is behind locked doors.
