Probably not an IDOC house.

Broadsword Online Games have announced that Publish 89 for Ultima Online will be rolled out to all remaining shards today and tomorrow:

We will be releasing a new client and Publish 89 to European shards this evening and all North American shards during the regular morning maintenance cycles.

The major focus of this Publish, you’ll all hopefully recall, is housing…in particular, houses that are in states of decay:

IDOC Housing changes

The changes we have made are to IDOC houses. Below are the details of the changes we have made:

• When a house goes into the condemned stage the house will go private and all access will be removed.
• Trial accounts will no longer be able to pick up loot from an IDOC house
• When the house drops Grubbers will spawn with some of the house loot in their packs, you will have to chase them down to get the loot they have.
• After a house is in the IDOC stage the timers are no longer random, it will drop at either 5, 10, or 15 hours, with the exception of houses with rental vendors. Houses with rental vendors will become OSI owned and have to go through a cycle for the second time to notify vendor owners.

Oh, and the world has seen some changes too:

World Building

• Docks have been added to the city of Yew, west of the Yew Mill.
• Docks have been added to the City of Minoc, north of the Stables.

As well, numerous bug fixes have been made to Ultima Online, and to both the Classic and Enhanced Clients.
