Not A Bug Private houses hide contents?

[Lokai]

Not sure if this is a recent Client update or something we are sending.

On EA, private houses hide the contents (even to the owner) until you enter the house.

I believe you may be wrong, I can remember using circle of transparency looking into private homes for IDOC purposes. But it may have changed in 8 years since I quit paying for their crappy content, lack of in game support, and changing my charcters name from Ghetto Hootchie to Heldagard (randomly picked PC generated name).

I talked to Lokai about this already but for everyone else who is curious;

Dexter myself and Vorspire played with this a little while ago. Even on Atlantic it is VERY wonky. Sometimes half an addon will show, sometimes a few items, sometimes nothing. It made a lot more stuff worse on ServUO, when we played with it, and it created no benefit or direct lag improvements.

It seems to be an old "lag prevention" feature UO had. It made sense back in 1999 - 2000 when a good chunk of us were still rocking 56k modems.

Now fast forward to 2018 and the 300mb connects and this "feature" is no longer relevant. We will not be implementing it on UOH or even ServUO at this time.
