Ah, alright. I haven't read the whole thing, forgive me. Just making sure that was covered :P

Gyspy Tents are buyable, however, right?

you mean the ones in malas?

I was suggesting that houses what are in fel would be only buyable, for numerous reasons.

anyways tents like in minoc and umm, in trinsic forest/beaches should be buayable yes

There would be a tax, but it would be based off the location/house.

LB castle would be way more expensive then say, a gypsy tent.

Well, if you make a tax then i want some adtivities.

If we pay taxes we need to get something, i demand some justice here. :evil:






but anyways i still dont like that tax thing, you can have custom houses placed inside luna walls much cheaper, and they can be also bigger than some of the static ones.

Also it would just piss people off, maybe to some of the biggest ones (nujelm museum, trinsic town hall)

yeah difference with custom houses is you technically own the property, and you are limited to where you place it. There's also the coolness factor of owning a building right in town. And I often find myself wondering what to do with my gold, I'm sure lot of others do too, so this would act as a great use for gold.

Would be a reasonable price though, the million gp ones would only be the super huge ones. A town house the size of a custom 18*18 would maybe go for like 300k per month or so, maybe less. I'd have to decide on whats most appropriate as I go through towns and mark some as buyable.

And it would take from your bank, from checks.

To componsate, I'd give the roulette a better chance to give gold for artifacts. Gold is very easy to make here, so I really like the town house idea as a continuous gold sink.

Dunno about you people but 300k pr each month is just...
basicaly it limits static house owning to the already wealthiest ones.

Even i couldnt afford that, my bank balance is like 200k currently

you were saying that the rreason for taxes is that noone whos inactive will own the biggest ones.

I got an solution:


taxes will be payed for an custom npc at luna.
they can be low, but you must be playing to pay them.
so the tax can be like 500g/100g/1k


but with taxes theres one major problem, which is one of the reasons i am agasint it...
What if your pc breaks ?
what if your internet crashes?
wht if electric gets cut out by some tree?
what if you get into accident ?
what if you go to vacation ?

that + numerous other chances that you lose all your shit in your house along with the spot

I still think that static houses should only be allowed in fel for now, to sorta test it out and maybe after put them to luna also?


Also, ive seen shards who have made custom towns to luna (well as you know theres a lot of grass) and those are damm nice

For the case of town houses, I could try to figure a way so all the items go in your bank if you fail to pay rent or something.

its not a priority and would involve lot of coding/testing but eventually it might go in since I like the idea.
