We have many items in the mall that have to be placed by staff. Damara has been working on converting many of the items to AddonDeeds so players can place and move themselves.
Because we have hundreds of houses and a very active bunch of builders and decorators, it is at times a full time job just moving deco for staff.
This may sound harsh, but we need to make these items not transferable to new houses. Many of these items are not expensive. 15k or 20k is not worth being upset about the loss. The real expensive items, we will try to deed them soonest. But please understand, if there is an item and then we redo the script, the new script does not affect old items. So if it was bought on a deed, then it will come back to a deed. If it was not deeded when bought, it will not go back to a deed. Hope that makes sense.
Don't misunderstand, staff is here to help and staff likes to help. That is why they have the job. For example: 40 players on line, it is common for staff to be answering questions for 4 or 5 at a time. And it is uncanny. For me at least, I can sit here for hours and not get a PM. Then for some reason, as soon as one arrives, another shows up. As if the "PM Staff" light goes on and everyone responds. hehehehehe
This is not to make things difficult for you all. Just to make it bit easier for my overworked staff. I hope this is understandable.
Just a little reminder. Items that come as an AddonDeed, must be placed in your house then they can be moved out to the yard. Then to chop it back to deed, move it back into house. We do get several calls to fetch Addons in the yard. Just move them in and chop them.
We will see how this goes.
