Property Cooldown Notifications

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.

Property Cooldown Notifications

Post by Hazard »

If at all possible it would be great to get a server message upon login, that tells you how long you have until properties you own will be released due to inactivity.

The new bidding system encourages mass bidding on everything you come across, and if you are lucky, you might win atleast one of them .. but sometimes you win a few, and won't notice, and the other bids only seem to be taken away if it's on the same server, and even then you might have already won, not realised, and bid on more things and won those too. These notifications would at least let you know, 'Hey, you own these properties and they need to be refreshed within this time period.'

It'll also help with just ... knowing how long it's been since you touched something. Not really a problem but it might just be nice to know.

Rejected for now due to engine concerns, also - at the risk of sounding harsh (and I don't mean to but I must be honest) if you arn't logging on enough/checking your property enough that you arn't sure if it's refreshed, maybe you shouldn't be owning the property?
This too shall pass.

(I now have a DM Discord (I hope) It's DM GrumpyCat#7185 but please keep in mind I'm very busy IRL so I can't promise how quick I'll get back to you.)
