after putting about 8 pieces in then I was told not to put any furniture on that level and locked out.

I put a piece in the wrong place ... and got locked out for 1/2 hour.

I changed pieces ... and the Elder Ruki made me wait for about 10 minutes.

I've never been locked out for 2 hours.

ahh no, I just got back in... was 2 hours and 5 mins.... and the same thing has happened...

"You're not supposed to be putting furniture on this floor! What is this, your first day on the project?! Go outside and don't come back until you've learned to follow instructions!" He grabs your furniture away from you and hands it to someone else.


So I must have got lucky earlier as I was able to place 8 lamps without being told to get out..

hmmm Seems I do have to go and see the ID I think. unless I get lucky again,,,, though the lock out time is alot.. interesting to see how long it is this time..

*sits in naughty corner*........

If you are trying to place items without going to the ID, you are just asking to get locked out. :)

Take the time to go find the ID and have him tell you where to put the furniture. Otherwise, you just gambling at getting it right.

Perhaps the lockout time increases each time you make a mistake. *shrug* No idea if it actually does or not ... but if you are getting locked out for so long ... perhaps that is an explanation.

One thing wrong with that, I've moved way over 50 things in a row and haven't gotten locked out. You might be refreshing a page that keeps getting you yelled at. I was doing that without realizing and was locked out for an hour. Just go to the first most page and wait/refresh... by that I mean ...ldp/repository.phtml you should be allowed back when the most recent lockout is over.

DarkStorm ... you have moved 50 things without talking to the ID in a row?

Finally decided to get back to this furniture thing. Definitely a lot more furniture sticking than there was this morning. But is it cause they thieves are slowing or is there more people working on it now?

Sat Oct 08, 2005 11:49 pm

No, I talked to the ID first.

ssandgirls was saying they get locked out if they try to place furniture in the wrong place (i.e. wrong level ....)

There is no lockout if you are successful in placing the furniture. That is why you haven't been locked out.

hmmm,, thanks for that..

Do you have to talk to the ID after you place each piece of furniture then?

so place 1 piece, talk to ID, place 2nd piece, talk to ID, etc etc.?

exactly ... you have go to the ID for EACH piece you grab ... if you want to make sure you get it in the right place.

People have been able to "guess" sometimes ... but it is just gambling that you're right.

That explains why you keep getting locked out.

You'll have to exit the repository and there should be a link leading to their tent on the main page.

A link won't help, the only thing you can do is try to find the exit of the repository, go through it and then visit the rukis again...
