Yes some kind of lizardman invasion. Get swamped by 10 monsters that
aren't worth the effort to fight for every one that is slightly
interesting.

They just decay don't they? I found a couple decayed ones last week.

Yes, they created a new spawner system and did a Britain invasion to put it
through its paces. The invasion should be about done now though.

And yes, they finally turned on Phase 3 of house decay a year or so ago.
When an account goes inactive, its house(s) undergo a 90 day grace period
where they are untouched. After that, they undergo the normal decay cycle
(~6 days now, I believe).

Very speedy decay in the dungeon too, lost conn, when I login again I
found myself dead, ran out and find a healer to res, recall to Yew bank,
reg up, when back to the spot I was killed, did all these in less than
3 minutes, but body was long gone.

If you drag them too far from their spawning point, they just *poof* away.
Cheating monsters.

Should be longer than that I think. Don't know the specifics though.

Not a good news for me, I was going to close one of my 3 accounts and
still keep the house, need the storage for weapons and resources.

Just reactivate once every three months, and you can still use the storage
without risking losing the house.
