Open quarters in new maps.

We will file suggestions here that did not make the cut. Don't expect detailed responses, but the most common reasons are:

  • implementing the suggestion is impractical, or too much work for the gain
  • the suggestion is thematically against our design philosophy
  • the suggestion is too detailed/low-level
    Keep your suggestions broad and focused on RP benefits, please, not detailed suggestions of how to fix everything.

Open quarters in new maps.

Post by kiljaedon »

For those who are privy to being able to be on top of things with newly released areas of the game including the new Shadowplane trade hub revamp and Wharftown allows people to quickly buy up plots preventing people who play on another timezone.

Would it make more sense to randomize the release of allowing the purchase of these areas to give people who live in other timezones a chance at finding these places for purchase? A randomized timer that will release the allowing of houses of newly released properties or when people vacate to prevent plots from being shuffled between alts or real-life friends. If friends want to sell to someone else then maybe we can use the newly created auction system to allow others the chance to purchase these places as well unless it is a settlement with you going through some properties director for these transfers.

Randomly releasing locations after a certain time, when the quarter is released, sounds just great at first reading, but would soon run into problems when estabished factions rearrange the owner of their properties. For new properties (as in those fresh to them module) I'm not inclined to do this, as it would lead to people spam checking the quarter in question. The fairest thing would be to have some kind of waiting list, but even there I'm not convinced.

Rejected.
