Location: Arcane Tower (Hall of Candor)

Current limit: 60

Favoured limit:90-120

Reasoning: 7 quarters, a classroom and hall/observatory. Very limited sharing ability for this ratio of quartes:fixtures.

edit by whitewingeddove: fixture limit increased to 120 on 10/24/23

Location: Brogendenstein (Golden Hall)

Current limit: 60

Favoured limit wishlist: 100-120

Sounds nuts, but that's the number I'm coming up with to fill this empty space in a way that is both glorious and tasteful and less empty bank vault 8-)

Reasoning: The Halls are a big open space with a lot of floor. A lot of our fixture limit is dedicated to half-way furnishing a huge, beautiful temple which shares fixture limit with everything else, mostly with altars and statues to thirteen gods, most of which aren't module fixtures.

We've done a lot of paring back on fixtures such as unneeded boards and odds and ends. There is a little more paring back that we plan to do. But in the end, this is just too low for a storied dwarven hall with all of the crafting stations, essentials, altars, and new projects such as a public library (on lockable non-module fixtures like everyone else does), a series of statues of legendary heroes walking indoors from the East Gate, making the temple feel functional/alive.

East Gate lightning eats fixtures for breakfast. The Hall of Legend is awesome but out of the way. In short, we've got as much activity and history as other places, but not a lot of room to show it off in a way where writ-goers will likely see evidence of it and enjoy it. With a higher fixture limit, I think we could do some really neat stuff to make the halls look and feel alive.

Current Limit: 60

Like much of the rest of treadstone, the 60 fixture limit for so many maps with multiple homes on them is very restrictive, the map i am on contains three or four houses and that leaves only 20 or 15 fixtures for each of us, the rest of the fixture space being taken leaving me with only 7 fixtures in my home before the limit is hit

I would like to request a few areas have their allotted fixture count be increased. The 6-8 other players who also rent this area feel the same. This is a humble request and I mean this in politest manner.

This is from a perspective of moving from a cottage residence. This spot on Mesmer Lane, is more expensive, larger physical space, was harder to aquire, yet hass less built in accomodations and fixture space allocation per person.

These apartments are located in Cordor, Mesmer Lane Guild house.

There are two zones of apartments, each zone hosts three renters and 60 fixtures. Fair a fair allocation permits only 20 fixtures per rental. Which doesn't go far at all especially with all the wonderful fixtures available on Arelith these days. This is pitted against the big studio style apartments plus a loft. The great amount of space and the awkwardly fixed bed in the middle of the big room really begs for some fixtures to make it seem less empty and awkward.

I've never replied to a forum like this before HOWEVER, I wanted to make my opinion known. Please please please give us an increased fixture limit! The fixture limit is so small compared to how much we have to share with such a large place. Also if you could please fix the bed from being in the center of the room.. that'd be great too. It's incredibly awkward.

I would like to add my voice to this as well. The bed being in the centre of the room is just really strange. But an increase in fixture limit for a big space like this would be very much appreciated. I believe the size and purpose of this large Guild House would warrant it.

I would like to echo this. Similar apartment maps (for example the one in the Cordor barracks) have a fixture limit over 200. At the current rate the extremely limited fixture count is actually quite stifling to building a lasting community in the Mesmer Lane guild hall, which is a big shame. Also, the bed is in an awkward spot. It would be really great if especially the fixture limit could be addressed somewhat soon.

Additional echo here, as another resident of the manor. Not only are 20 fixtures rather low for such a wide open space, but they are also pre-determined on the assumption that all residents of a given wing follow that number, without going over.

Devils Table Mansion Guildhouse

Current limit: 180
Proposed limit: either 260+, or split floors to have separate areas

Whilst 180 fixtures sounds like a lot, the actuality is that it's such a large sprawling area that filling the space in the entrance hall takes up the majority of the limit by itself, leaving the four personal quarters, kitchen, arena, chapel, barracks and cells, plus the long hallway feeling rather bare in comparison.

Sunset Woods.

Current limit: 0

Favoured Limit: 30+

Reasoning: Such a fairy tale-esque area should be able to be built upon, to further allow and add onto the aesthetic that the area has. By adding even a small limit to the area, it would enable to do so much more with the space.

Guldorand (Fortress City) Chapel

Current limit: 60
Proposed limit: 120

Reasoning: Both the chapel available to the public and the back room are fairly large but also really barren. By having the two areas split between 60 fixtures, this also makes it exceedingly difficult to properly decorate either area well. Either the actual room for the character or the main chapel itself will likely have to compromise to make the other one actually seem complete.

Location: Radiant Heart Interior

Current limit: 195
Proposed limit: 230

Reason: With 6 quarters, a guildhouse, common room, 3 temples, library, and lobby; we have a lot of large and empty spaces. We make good use of the space we have. But a small bump in the fixture increase would be appreciated. That way some of our members can have that rug they rally want. Or add an extra chair or desk in their quarters.

Falls of Ascension (Radiant Heart exterior)

Current limit: 60
Proposed limit: 70

Reasoning: We have a statue garden where we welcome members to place an altar of their faith, so they always have somewhere closely to pray. Mechanically, there's no more space. Physically, we can still add a few and it still be set up in a beautiful presentation.

edit by whitewingeddove: City areas/streets with notable foot traffic and NPCs are kept low on purpose. After reviewing the area and seeing the fixture spread and seeing the farm plot limits, 60 seems like an appropriate fixture limit for this area.

Anatida - Completed 6/6/2023

Location: Cordor (Farmlands) Farm Buildings

Current limit: 60
Proposed limit: 120

Reason: These are shared quarters and shops, with three(?) houses per the two maps, and one shop attached to a large quarter in each map. Storefronts tend to take up more fixtures, as well as some houses being much larger than the others with more space to fill. Nobody likes a barren-looking storefront or home! Some of these quarters also have two bedrooms, meaning more people may choose to RP living there and have their own sentimental fixtures to bring with them.

Would very much enjoy more fixture space for us to share. Thanks you for your consideration in advance!

Edited to Include the ResRef picture. One farmland map was updated, but this one unfortunately wasn't. Thanks!

There are two houses in Drydocks (Crows Nest) but one of the houses is huge and shares the same number of fixtures with the other smaller one, but there are only 60 fixtures.

Location: The Chapel (Guldorand's Freeport)

Current limit: 60
Proposed limit: anything more would be better, best 100-120 but also 80 might works as well

Reason: me and other players are starting organising events in there, and the 60 limit is meant for both the parts of the map, the private quarter upstairs AND the public chapel downstairs.
That would sound good enough for a private home, even if such large, but I would like to arrange a good environment to host events in there, but with that 60 limit isn't possible to do it properly.

Thank you!

Anatida - Verified Completed 5/3/2023

Location: Cordor (The Walled City) Government District (Library) - Quarter.
Current Limit: 60
Proposed Limit: 80

Reason: though this is a quarter with only three rooms, one of them is a very big hall. This quarter has been often used to represent schools or libraries, and as such tends to hold many bookshelf fixtures, and tables. Which leaves very little room to fill the other two smaller rooms (an actual bedroom and a storage room). I think increasing the limit to 80 would allow for the quarter to be more usable.

Is there any chance we could get the Cordor Museum's fixture limit bumped a bit? It's really hard to add stuff to it at this point without taking away from existing exhibits, and there's a good deal of empty space in the building. I've had a few different Curators mention to me they felt stifled in doing museum stuff because of the fixture limit. It's currently 120, and in all honesty I think it could do with double that at least.

Cordor (The Walled City) Cultural District (Museum)
Current: 120
Proposed: 210
