Rooms, Homes, Dwelling
Posted: Sat Jun 18, 2011 4:09 pm
I would love to see a manageable system for PCs to rent/buy homes or rooms. Not a custom designed set of rooms like a few PCs have. Predefined placed that anyone can buy or rent with the right amount of coin. A variety of different kinds too. A small house. A small suite above a shop. A room in a boarding house. A remote cabin.
Not something you have to app for, but where if a dwelling is not occupied you can use a command to buy/rent it.
Like mounts you are able to have a limited number. One, MAYBE two.
Once you have one you can buy furniture for it. This would help with some of the storage complaints people have.
It also be nice to see them all over not just in Waterdeep.
One of the problems would be the same one with Stables. Getting filled up by people who don't play actively any more. If new dwellings aren't added time to time it could easily become a situation where a dwelling becomes free and everyone descends to get that one free room.
If dwellings are rented, making payments every IRL month or so then we would make sure they remain used by active players. But this leaves the problem of what happens to the stuff from a room of someone who doesn't play any more. Not an easy question. The harsh answer is of course their stuff ends up in Dazzling Dave's which can be very harsh for someone who has a dead computer and cant log on or is just over whelmed by life and needs a break from the MUD.
I think there is a lot to discuss for a feature like this but I think it would add a lot to a game and RP!
