Up until now, no due diligence has been put in to investigate this question, and the unlimited storage in unsecured lock downs has been taken for granted. In that vein, I have done some research to see if I can find information supporting our current mechanics, and thus far I have not been able to find anything that directly supports our current mechanics. This means that unless some compelling evidence comes forward, it looks as if the weight limit on locked down containers is accurate, as it is the last known mechanic for containers in general.
Additionally, regarding UOSA's current housing mechanics, we have not really taken a well-defined stance on the housing rules that we have on UOSA, which has led to some complicated and unsatisfactory mechanics. In reality, we should be taking a pre-November 23 stance regarding housing based on the fact that the housing system at the time of the publish was intended as a temporary circumstance, while players adjusted to the new lock down limits. In fact, there are many other housing fixes that need to be pushed through based solely on known mechanics during the era, and correcting some of our own bugs. This should ideally be pushed through as a major housing patch, and has been something that we have tossed around at times, but other priorities have gotten in the way, pushing this back with many of the other fixes.

did no one read that ? you guys want phase 2 housing? really ? are you nuts ? i agree with kaivan on this and we should be aiming for housing before phase 2 i am more in favor of the idea we should move the cut off date back slightly not push closer to uorKaivan wrote:I've moved this thread to a more appropriate forum, as this isn't really a 'bug', since lock downs operate this way intentionally.

IF you agree with Kaivan then you also agree with the statement in RED which will KILL housing if its the only change AND if you agree with his 'pre Nov 23rd' stance on housing THEN co-owners will no longer be allowed http://update.uo.com/design_20.html...So basically EVERY container in your house will have to be 400 stones...where are you going to keep your regs? Lock them down? Have to unlock and relock everytime you have to re-equip? No co-owner? Then what?
At least with what I said secure containers dont have a limit and it would increase secures of a small to 3 instead of 1...I wasnt talking about items not locked down decaying...
