    I lost my prized house on the Fire Island Peninsula. Im not sure what happened but i logged in at it seems as Fraggle has it up for sale. As far as being refreshed, my other 2 houses were just fine, yet all 3 were refreshed at the same time. I guess thats the nail in the coffin for me. Good Luck, and thanks for the years of fun.

    Hello player who refreshed houses and may have missed one. Sorry for the loss of items but maybe the grind to regear yourself will spark a interest for you to rejoin the shard instead of just collecting welfare plat.

    If you wait the full interval on refreshing you should always double check your refresh so this doesn't happen. Takes one more quick click of the mouse! Easy!

    You've invested real money here as a contribution to the shard, but you're going to bail after one of three homes falls? Seems off, but cheers and have fun!

    Though I really do wonder at these threads. I've seen them come up from time to time across multiple shards. Most times from veteran players, where I wonder if there's something in the code that makes the refresh flake out, or it's just human error. Obviously the latter is the most logical conclusion and I've never lost a house I 'thought' I refreshed. Only ones I wasn't sure if I had or not soon enough.

    Sorry to hear about your house falling. You shouldn't let it discourage you, it's easy to rebound on this server.

    I fell victim to similar circumstances a few years ago too. I went around refreshing my properties and I didn't close the house sign gump going from once house to the other. I thought all was well but I must've misclicked one house sign and that property is no longer mine now.

    That's why I am ultra-paranoid when it comes to refreshing (especially when it's done only once every house-falling interval), i.e. multiple-clicks, multiple recalls when something felt fishy, etc.

    I guess, it's not the main reason why you would quit.

    Oh, its alright. That's what makes UO...well, UO. Actually, I was just being a bitch about it, tbh..., and I do apologize to the community for venting...As far as my collecting welfare plat...lolz. I wish I had plat! I do however own my own island in the PI, and have been in the process of rebuilding it, after the largest recorded storm to hit landfall in the history of mankind, destroyed 2 of my homes, and most of what we had. Still managed to play when i could, thanks to a couple of close friends. I still play when i can...3 accounts, 5 toons per account...15 different toons....the beauty of UO! Do you know everyone's alt? I don't...if i did I would say I had an amazing ability to remember names! Some people play for the pvp...some people like to hang out and craft shit....bullshit at a bank or someones house...craft. I know, right...crafting...wtf...lol. Some people like to even fish, or just sail around and kill dolphins. Some people even enjoying infiltration of guilds, dastardly deeds, and other accounts of debauchery. Ahh, the beauty of UO. Let that sink in...do you really know all of your pals characters? Anyhow....not everyone is a forum warrior.

    ps...I hope the new owner takes care of it and enjoys it as much as I did. RIP "Boats N Hoes"

    Even if real keeps me from playing lot,I try to refresh my homes twice a week. I have one character friend to all the homes, so don't need to log in muliple characters.

    Hey, crafting is fun. :)

    take care and sorry about your real life losses. That sucks big time.

    Rough, losing a house with all your stuff hurts. I have a main keep, if I were to lose it, it would be 100% of my stuff and I would quit. However, It is UO and that is indeed what makes it UO. Even I quit, and I have before, ill be back. Just a game, and tons of fun.

    Here. Howard Jones has a good perspective on it.

    My fucking Yew Gate House fell a week ago; and I had been idling around all week at the bank just forgot to refresh one of the houses.

    Fuck it; don't quit and if you do don't refresh your houses anymore.

    I lost a secure fortress full of loot while I was actively playing due to CY doors not refreshing, it didn't bother me in the slightest once I realized that owning land had absolutely 0 relation to how much fun I had on this awesome shard.

    @Freakzilla is a Gypsy Warrior not a quitter. As long as there is one Gypsy with a house on this shard, he always has a place to call home. We are already in the rebuilding process. See ya'll out on the field.
