Missing...Ultima Online: The Second Age Patch Notes for 01/19/1999
Locking down a container now asks whether you want to make it secure or not.
Phase II (Lock downs and Secures) Nov 23 1999 2:25PM CST
Lock Down and Secure Containers
As part of Phase II, the number of secure containers and locked down items will be increased for most house types. The numbers are detailed below. The total items column is the maximum number of items that can be stored in each house. Designating a container as secure will take up 125 of your lockdowns, regardless of how many items you actually put in the secure container. Note that containers within a container do not have a weight limit. This allows players to forego secure storage for more lockdowns. Secure containers do not have weight limits.
All Small Houses have 3 and 425 lock downs for a total of 425 items.
Brick Houses have 8 secure and 1100 lock downs for a total of 1100 items.
Large Patio Houses have 8 secures and 1100 lock downs for a total of 1100 items.
Both Two Story Houses have 10 secures and 1370 lock downs for a total of 1370 items.
Towers have 15 secures and 2119 lock downs for a total of 2119 items.
Small Stone Keeps have 18 secures and 2625 lock downs for a total of 2625 items.
Castles have 28 secures and 4076 lock downs for a total of 4076 items.
These changes, along with the ability to lock down stackable items and the removal of weight restrictions from secure containers and bank boxes, should offer you adequate room to store your most valuable and useful items and decorate your home.
You will also be able to lockdown containers and the items inside of them. These items will not be subject to decay once locked down in the container. Saying "I wish to lock this down" on a container will:
Count the items that can be locked down inside the container.
Check the available number of lockdowns you have left for your house.
If you have enough lockdowns available, the system will lock all items down, including the container, and report success.
If you do not have enough lockdowns available, the system will report the failure and give the reason.
Releasing a locked down container will automatically release all of the items in it.
Locked down items can be used in the following manner:
Only the owner, co-owner, and friends of the house may use or take items from a locked down stack.
We have phase1 rules, if we are to have skill locks, we should have phase2 housing rules. with strong boxes and no decay still. decay came in same time as precast nerfing.Co-owners Nov 23 1999 2:50PM CST
All of the features for co-owners are currently available for testing on the Test Center Shard.
Co-ownership will allow you to select trusted friends and allies to control some of the important functions of a house. This will allow more flexibility for house owners and provide a method for additional storage for those players who share houses.
Selecting Co-owners
Other characters on the same account as the house owner will be treated as co-owners unless: They are already an owner or co-owner of another house.
You may select up to eight characters to be co-owners: A co-owner may not be the owner of a house.
A co-owner may not be a co-owner of another house.
To select a co-owner: Double click on your house sign.
Click the "friends" option.
Select "add a co-owner". A targeting cursor will appear.
Target and click on the character you wish to make a co-owner.
Removing a co-owner Double click on your house sign.
Click the "friends" option.
Select "remove a co-owner".
A list of co-owners will appear, check the box next to the co-owner you wish to remove.
Co-owner Features
Co-owners will be able to do everything that an owner can, except: Transfer ownership of the house.
Re-deed a house.
Add another co-owner.
Change the house locks.
Co-owners can also place one secure container, called a "strongbox". To place a strongbox the co-owner must say, "I wish to place a strongbox". The strongbox will appear at your feet.
The strongbox can only be accessed by the co-owner who placed it and the owner of the house.
A strongbox can hold up to 25 items and has no weight restrictions. Note that the strongbox is a secure container, but items in the box do not count against the total number of lockdowns for that house. These strongboxes are additional storage.
A strongbox belonging to a co-owner that is removed will become unsecure (and subject to decay) as soon as it is accessed again.
Other characters on the same account that are being treated as co-owners will NOT be able to place a strongbox

Some issues involving pets will be addressed.

Alchemy messages will appear in the lower left of the UO play window of the alchemist. Other players will not see the messages.
For GF houses....House Age Nov 23 1999 1:11PM CST
Players will now be able to determine whether a house is a "legacy" house or not. Double-clicking the house sign will display one of the following messages in the window:
If the house was placed after the house placement changes, there will be a message stating, "This house is of Modern Design."
If the house was placed before the house placement changes, there will be a message stating, "This house is of Classic Design."
We are aware that the system that designates a house as classic or modern has issues that need to be addressed. We are applying resources to this issue and we will be updating you again when we have more information.
