Discussion On house decay delete everything

Why not?

We want to keep giving players a reason for playing. IDOCs removing 90-100% of all items every time would help for longevity.

Instead let's create more monsters like the Grubber that spawn when a house drops and have them drop their own unique items.

Reducing amount of items form idoc is not a abad idea at all but i think that cutting off to 90 or even 100% is a bit too far. The IDOC mechanic is unique to UO and in my opinion worth keeping. I would definitely let IDOCs to drop unique event items and artifacts.
What about power scrolls, alcarity scrolls, scrolls of transcendence and masteries? All of them can be considered as resources if it comes to IDOCs.

As I was converting some of the "old" power scroll books to the "new" 500 limit type, I noticed just how many power scrolls people have hoarded. The special scrolls being added to the list of stuff to delete is not a bad idea.

just following up,

do items decay if house falls?
if so , im ok with it, will save me hours i spent ingame looking for and camping idocs.
sounds like a good idea, remove so peeps dont waste time and can do other stuff ,
plus maybe it will help server run more smoothly.

Maybe just reduce stackables by a percentage, this will cover resources which are always obtainable. What ever choice is made this will have zero affect on active account numbers. This shard needs a shot in the arm but this conversation isn't it.
