Dwelling acquisitions

Post by Zorinar » Sat Oct 08, 2011 3:34 pm

I was wondering how does it work to go about getting a dwelling on FK?

Can players design and build their own and get placement of it after it is approved? Does it take an App, does it require anything else? Is it even allowed at this time?

As far as I'm aware, player dwellings are no longer granted! It was taken out because it became too much work to maintain and it was a little unbalancing. Probably wait for an official staff answer though!

Once upon a time, an established character would apply for a dwelling. It required paying a set price per room, as well as paying for added materials such as forges, anvils, locked doors, guardian golems, ect. The cost was in platinum, but I am sure any new dwellings might have a kismet attachment as well (just a guess). The applying player was encouraged, but not always required, to write descriptions for everything in the house (rooms, special objects, ect). As well as list several desired locations for their dwelling to exist, in case their first pick is turned down. The process often required the character to conduct a number of in-game tasks, sometimes taking quite some time to complete, to RP out the process of house construction.

That said, player housing is not allowed at this time (unless I missed something). Player housing takes a fair chunk of time to to build, code, and such. Current builder time is better spend on other projects. So, please don't send in applications... yet!

No reason you cannot do some leg work anyways. I wrote up room/item descriptions for a few characters in my spare time. Fun thing to do and something that you really should put some effort into. It's your character's home, put some thought into it. Not to mention, when housing returns, the less work a builder has to do, the faster things get done. :wink:

So, short answer... housing applications are not being taken at this time.

You do not need to change the world, merely leave it a little better than how you found it.
