Houses on inactive accounts have been decaying for at least 4 -6 days now. They all read "fairly worn" this morning. They changed sometime between 10pm cst last night and 6am this morning. That means sometime in the next week (4-6 days) they will fall unless osi turns autorefresh back on.
Osi hasn't made any announcement yet so they may wake up and turn autorefresh back on anytime. With osi it's hard to say what they will do. Knowing them, they will wait till the last minute to refresh the houses in order to get some more people to activate accounts.
These are the decay stages posted on Stratics. It's the way it used to be but again this is osi we are dealing with so hard to say if they are accurate.
Stage....................................Duration
"like new"...............................approx. 50 minutes
"slightly worn".........................2 to 3 days
"somewhat worn".....................2 to 3 days
"fairly worn"............................2 to 3 days
"greatly worn".........................2 to 3 days
"in danger of collapsing"............more than 18 hours (should be less from my experience-about 12-16 hours)
Btw, there is a bug that can happen now when you place a new house over stuff that is on the ground. All the stuff gets deleted instead of being put under the sign like where it used to go. So unless osi fixes that (another delay maybe) we will have to loot quick before someone places a new house and the house loot gets deleted.
