I agree with Tucan. When a guild scouts a house location in beta, rushes at launch to secure the spot and then works together to place our guild house of choice only to have its location changed.... Its pretty shit. Did we want a moongate house? No.. Could we have placed one? Yes... We chose the spot due to it being the closest house to CC bank, healer, and shops. Now with this update that goal we accomplished has been thrown in the trash.

How about next we move all of the moongates? It makes sense, let's switch them up.... Since players housing locations don't seem to matter.

They would have. Sadly the Devs never worked with them directly when planning the CC move, nor notifying. Not even patching the changes on Test. Seems pretty typical though. Sadly Tea is heavily favored here over coffee. Koston's points are valid, and this truly shines the reflection of the devs. Owyn has it within his power to re-evaluate all of the properties that bordered corpse creek Cuz that would be the ... you know... DECENT FUCKING THING TO DO

Before shining the devs in a bad light, has anyone tried reaching out to them - I'm sure they'd be open to fixing the mistake, or settling the land disputes in an agreeable manner.

In a game with player housing, map edits like the one done to corpse creek are significant and have implications for the players who invested the time and effort to secure a housing spot. I don't know of any other shard which relocates NPC towns further away from established player housing and I don't think any shards would think such a change is a good idea. It's a bad decision on any front.

If there are concerns that moving one guild's house would be favoritism, all housing that was near the town could be re-evaluated for repositioning. If the map needs to be patched again to accomodate that, c'est la vie.

Just because the development team has the power to make certain changes to the world does NOT mean that they are justified in doing so in every case. In a sandbox game like UO, carrying an attitude that because the team developed the map they can do whatever they like with it post-launch isn't one that encourages investment on the part of the community.

If my understanding of prestige rewards is correct, there is already a path to custom development of the map for guilds that earn enough prestige, so similar map development as a method to accomodating/reimbursing guilds who had significant map editing should be on the table. I don't see why it's favoritism to make things right and relocate some housing when you literally rip an established town off it's foundations and move it further away -vs- creating custom islands for guilds that farm enough pvp matches.
