Copy issues with skyblade skiff

[NiamiDenMother]

<p>I wanted to start poking at the multiple housing options, and did a fresh copy of one of my folks who lives in a skyblade skiff.</p><p>The skiff didn't copy, her home address is listed as none.   This is something I have submitted a /bug for several times over the past few months (it has happened every time I try to copy one of the skiff owners, including DoV beta copies) .  Is it possible to get extra eyeballs on this while we're eyeing the multiple home feature, to make sure it is only a fluke of some part of the copy code (and not something that is going to mess up server moves with prestige homes and the like?)</p><p>As some background, the last time I got stubborn when a skiff didn't copy, and "bought' the skiff again a couple days later to give her a home, it stuck around for less than a day, then the ownership vanished again, leaving her homeless once again, which is ... odd ... to say the least.  <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /></p><p>Thanks!</p><p>~Mum</p>

<p>Ahh, well like I said it was something I thought I'd mention as a "just in case", but wouldn't have though that would be the problem since the update hadn't been pushed to test.  I just thought it *could have potentially been* relevant and is the only reason I pointed it out. </p>

<p>Curiouser and curiouser!</p><p>Amusingly, the copy that had these issues with her decorated skiff disappearing re-bought her skiff last night BEFORE the patch, so she'd at least have some sort of home address, now is showing as having two homes.  The one she can access is the ... decorated skiff.  The empty skiff she bought has no way to access it with the current portal bugs.</p>
