With the owner room flag, keys have become obsolete. They were also a pain to try to recover, if a player vanished and their home was resold, they were able to walk in and out of the house, much to the new owners dismay. Plus, it allows builders to use the object vnums that would have been used for house keys, for other things, like furniture, weapon, armor, potions etc. Once an owner has been set on the room, they can add or remove people from their invite list. Any who is on the invite list can enter, those who are not, cant. There is no need for an owner to be set in every room of the home, this can be extremely mundane and tedious for someone who has to stop rping, enter room, add person to invite, exit room, lead person into the room, and so on, so only rooms where there is an exit onto the main realm will have an owner set on them.
