has house decay changed?

[balthazar]

I was watching two houses that went greatly last Sunday, checked them tonight (Friday) and both of them are down. I thought houses were greatly for seven days before going IDOC. One was still greatly this afternoon, and now there is a fresh dirt plot there.

Once the house goes IDOC It can fall anytime. They took the timer off so people couldn't pin point exactly when the house was gonna drop.


I'm not sure if the dirt plots decaying fast is in yet or not...

to his Question.
Timer isnt 7 days from greatly - idoc but for a long time allready.

I dont think GMs will tell you game mechanics here.

You just need to find it out byurself.

Idoc is 4 hours then random within another 4 hour window. So minimum idoc time is 4 hours and max is 8.

Thanks guys.
How long has it been since the timer was changed?
I remember a discussion about it, but don't remember seeing anything 'official'. Does someone generally announce game mechanic changes, or do you need to figure them out yourself?
I have noticed a lot of changes in the past few weeks, I don't know if they are real and intentional or just a figment of my sleep deprivation:
Of course the house decay change,
Gold drops seem to be down about 20%,
Taming attempts seem to take less time, maybe half as long,
and I haven't seen a Paragon chest in weeks (probably killed at least a dozen).
Maybe I need to start a new thread and see what people have noticed.

been like it for months now Vfinger has idoc>demo time right ( it sucks).

4 hours for idoc and an additional hour for a random timer drop. Happened twice.
