I was thinking while working today, why are doors not just like secure containers inside a house??? I mean we have multiple options for secure containers inside the house and outside on the steps for that matter.... Why can't the doors be the same way an owner sets who can open secure containers, but just with the doors in a house? Just a thought... since this would do away with the way keys are an eye sore that are placed half way through everybody's door and maybe help with house break-ins.
Any ideas that get rid of keys I am for, they are an eye sore. It also really makes no sense realism wise. In my house in real life I don't place my keys on my door and a table right at the entrance to prevent burglars.
So we have to have keys to lock a door and quad tier against break ins, BUT... we have secure chests, that the home owner designates, which require 0 keys nor quad tiers to foil any would be thieves. Yeah, you are right this is real world, what was I thinking... I have many of these secure chests throughout my house IRL...
I think its not real life vs UO, its era accurate or not in any case. We can do a case for everything if we go for the first one. I personally don´t like the suggestion. House breakings are part of the game, and heading this direction would be a huge step into trammelizing things imho. If correctly setup your house entrance, you won´t have any trouble and the keys lockdown at the entrance isn´t a big issue really, just aesthetics. For inner doors you choose which ones to lock. If you enter your house properly, you shouldn´t face any problem. They also provide an extra layer of security and if a thieve made its way to your inner doors, that a serious breach and shouldn´t happen. But should your house get robbed you have even more security layers that are unbreachable with your secure containers, which, you can keep adding with platinum I don´t see a case for this imo
I think your argument of realism is silly. You might not place your keys outside your house in real life, but do you walk around with the big ass dragon?
I hate housebrakers but this is their game... if we change as you suggest they will lost their way of life... But i would support something like... Pay a a incredible high price... something like 2k of plat... for a kind of blessed house key. something extremly expensive that just a few would be interested in use it and something that could be used only in a single char.
10k plat reward for keypad entry. I like that we use to get upset about factions and tamers. Now its down to key rings on doors.
Okay. I've read this thread a few times, and I can't in good conscious not say anything. How can we allow hateful speech like that which appears in this thread? Are you living in the 1950s? This is ridiculous. Bigotry and hatred are terrible things and your post speaks volumes of you. You should be ashamed, but I doubt you are. I imagine you're the type of person who uses the N* word to describe people of African descent.
It is simply balance. If we had secure doors and secure houses then there would have to be item storage limits and item decay, (OSI, Renaissance ERA Publish 3) Alternatively we can have player managed security, some enhancements with detect hidden to show door lock status. Doorway keyrings, secure containers with the access level feature. And most importantly unlimited storage in your home. As this server is a hybrid of the best features from the T2A and UOR era we feel that these mechanics are appropriate. We also provide easy access to our home security guide from your house sign menu should anyone have questions on the best practices to keep your valuables safe.
