This is why IDOC guilds exist. So you don't need to be a jobless, lifeless, sexless nerd and still be able to participate.
Also, static timers help in this regard too.

Then get organized and work together walking your zerglings around Sosaria waiting patiently for that radom stroke of luck......
Luck the rest of us non zerglings.
You dont like the random-ness some you come here, butthurt, crying your "felucca tears" crying trammies always get their way.
You never seem to get the point that this game doesnt NEED to twist every aspect of it to stay "valid" and "alive."
PLEASE take some time to understand this.........
Get over yourselves, already. King Zergs and their lil zergling minions that had yo buy your friendship in order to keep from being hunted.
So....in essense......your guild is full of trammies that are ONLY there for the protection of numbers.
YAY! exactly what UO needs......One big crybaby guild that gets their way with EVERYTHING.
Dont like the random changes........Adapt.......TEAM UP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE>.......
ya, I know.....unheard of when the shoe is on the other foot, huh?
IF PvP was the life blood of the game and the shard like SOOOO many claim it to be..........how come the PvP scene needs help in the first place??????????????????????????????????????????????????
If its the life blood of the game......How come it constantly needs to be catered to in order to "help" the PvP scene?
Wouldnt a great a vibrant and important part of the game, by nature, CREATE its OWN scene and make it bigger and better???
You half-assed reds give the old school murderers a bad name.
LOL
kinda fun trolling the tears......I see why so many do it.
Aw, well.......nuther beer.

We'd probably crash the server if we had that many noobs in purple in one alliance.

I like how people have to PAY to TEAM up....
No WONDER why the biggest zergers on the shard are pushing for more and more obnoxious and childish murders.
The old school reds, that had talent, would laugh at the current incarnation of the shards "biggest" guild.

Static timers give solo players a shot at loot, not random

I made millions out placing and out timing the [!] zerg. If you can't figure out how to get rich as a solo player with static IDOC timers then you are doing it wrong, simple fact.

The purpose of polls and threads for staff is not only to gauge what the popular vote is, but also to hear what players think of the topic at hand. By no means does the popular vote equal what is best for the shard (neither does what people cry the loudest about). The staff reviews all aspects and angles of making changes and then makes a decision based on the direction they want the shard to go in and by what is best for the shard in general.
You know, the time from IDOC to Fall really should be long when considering static times. If they are too short, then it kind of defeats the purpose of timing because you can easily sit at an idoc for a short period of time and gives an advantage to any joe walking by and sees a sign that says IDOC. If the timer is sufficiently long, then while someone *can* wait for the house to fall, the advantage is to those that spend time timing the house and planning for take-over when that time comes.
Really? A quintet post? What is this world coming to...
----------------------
Something else you guys are missing in regards to solo timers. I used to time houses for no purpose other than to sell that timer to guilds. Sure, some I kept to myself for various reasons. I found it to be much more profitable though, to sell many timers to guilds that do not have specialist in IDOC timing. It takes some trust, but that is what you build up over time and reputation.

I think increasing the time the house is in IDOC phase from 6hrs to 8 or 10hours would maybe make people happier so that when an IDOC is found, those who dont have a time on it have more of a chance to get prepared for it.

When I first heard about this change, I was pretty miffed. But after thinking about it for a while and considering the facts, I don't think this will have that much effect on idocs, for the good or the bad. Most of the time, people generally aren't interested in coming to or searching for idocs.
Since coming back to the shard a month ago, I have been doing idocs almost exclusively. The majority of small plots have no competition or interest, medium plots are hit or miss based on their location and (assumed) contents, and large are always known about. This wont change, regardless of a fixed or random timer. Furthermore, as someone who often broadcasts idocs that are large and heavily contested, most people just don't care about them, especially not fighting for them.
Many people will contribute this lack of interest to the presence of EQMS, which is a handy excuse. First, if EQMS wasn't the dominant force in idocs, some slightly smaller guild would take their place and it would be nearly the same for the "average solo player". Second, if the contents of the house are obviously of high value, there will be competition at the site regardless of a timer or not. Finally, most people are too quick to put blame on anything instead of putting in time and thinking of crafty solutions to their problems.
People often make it out as if with a random timer, they could "win the jackpot" and have some 18x18 full of mills drop for them. This is absurd, of course, because even if there was a 5 hour random window, it makes enough gold/hour sense to camp it, because of its contents. Big juicy idocs will always be contested, unless you play in EU timezone ;D.
Finally, I think its amazingly shocking how many people voice concern on this topic. The majority of idocs I have been at are almost always either empty, or are known about by the same tiny group of people. Out of all the idocs I have done, there is almost never any "solo guildless blues". There are often blue characters with no guild title, but these belong to the small group of the same people who time idocs. This is why I find it so surprising that this thread and the poll received so much attention.
As a bit of context, I'm not in EQMS and a lot of the time I run idocs solo.

Oh lord, the same people that brought us trammel are playing the game still trying to fuck up still.
NO ONE LIKES RNG and thus random timers are just a silly concept in terms of fun gameplay. The wars when idocs fall remain very active and dynamic. You would be robbing the server of player interactions and thus fun by making idoc timers random.
Peasants want everything just handed to them with no concept of what makes UO fun
