idoc event?

[mskidmor]

any idea when the next IDoC event will be?

Looks like first half of September would be a good time to have one.

How does an IDoC event work? I’ve never been a part of one and I’m curious.

All houses whose planks say "in danger of collapsing" will be nuked. This event has been performed in several ways so this is the sum of possibilities: 2 days/1 day and with/without an interval between the idoc's of the same day.

Basically a time and date is announced at the forum and +C makes a countdown in world chat before nuking the houses. be sure to camp outside one and all items will fall in the floor. Grab what you can

Houses for folks who haven't logged in for a long time go through a series of decay stages, the last one of which is "in danger of collapse" or "IDOC." You can check the stage by mousing over the house sign.

On most shards, after a house has been IDOC for 24 hours it collapses. UOEX works a little differently: +C publishes an event time during which the houses which are still IDOC collapse. In the event, the houses collapse within a couple minutes of each other.

When the houses collapse, everything inside falls to the ground and can be scavenged by other players. If not taken, it poofs on the second world save after falling to the ground or last touched. So, there's about 2 hours to scavenge everything you can unless +C takes a long time to get started so that the world save didn't just happen prior to the IDOC.

Prior to an event, folks scour the shard for IDOC houses with good stuff in them. During the event it's a competition to see who can get to the stuff first... except for the folks who found the houses that nobody else camped and can swoop in and take all the good stuff.

Is this still the case? So no IDOCs will fall this month?

As Wil stated, fairly clearly I thought, you will see a huge thread called IDOC EVENT and announcements in game when and IDOC event happens.

No houses decay normally here, only drop manually during an announced event. Don't waste your time sitting by an IDOC house because it won't fall.

ok thanks

[mskidmor]

well should be sometime this month when event will be just wonder when

I'm thinking perhaps October 1st would be a good day, this gives everyone 3 weeks to see the reminder emails and hopefully refresh their accounts (those who still want to keep their stuff).

The time would be late at night shard time, so that people across the globe can attend.

I participated in my first IDOC event a couple months ago and I have a few question on the drops. Mainly clarify what happens to the different items and upgrades.

1)Containers and items drop to floor and can be picked up. No questions there
2)Does gold, checks, EDs and mithil drop or they disappear?
3)What happens to vendors and house extras such as bank stones and gates?
4)What happens to player bonded items such as mistvale things. Does the bond refresh to whomever picks them up.
5)Any other special rules or items that disappear?

Thanks. I got a lot of deco and a couple of leveled weapons but no super items such as relayers or 4x58 weaps so I was wondering.

3)What happens to vendors and house extras such as bank stones and gates?

All forms of money go poof. Everything purchased from the ED room goes poof. Most things from the Trinsic token stone or deco room go poof with a handful of exceptions (e.g. carpet, leveled weapons).

4)What happens to player bonded items such as mistvale things. Does the bond refresh to whomever picks them up.

Old: They remain account bound to the account which has not been deleted. They cannot be picked up. Containers in which they reside cannot be picked up.

New/Current: They go poof just like money.

Note, however, that Mistvale items which are NOT account bound (because the player never used them) CAN be recovered from an IDOC.

Thanks for the reply Wil. No wonder I am not a gold and ED billionaire by now .

I did manage to get a stronger box (1000 item container). Probably my best loot so far.

[mskidmor]

yeah stronger boxes are a popular item
