also we could do the same with banned/old accounts (that have been blocked) their could be a stone at luna bank that when you double click it sias if their any accounts you can purchase a raffle ticket for
please try out my suggestion i think it will be great and not just say well thats a good suggestion and nothing happens and never heard of again.
It's not a bad idea but we're taking it a step further with the auction house.
A percentage of goods from an IDOC will be given to the auction house and auctioned off at a later time. Players will be able to bid in terms of gold to attempt to "buy" the item.
What kind of auction we decide to do (automated, automated silent or gm run) is up to planning (most likely be an automated event as the system already exists to support this kind of event).
For those who don't have a lot of money, certain items would be put aside for a "raffle" system. This system is different in that everyone would have equal odds as raffle tickets would be the same price and would be restricted to 1 per account.
IDOCs present the best options for recycling artifacts and house plots into the game. Those camping IDOCs would still benefit from a large chunk of the loot, only 10% of it would be claimed by the auction house. Other tossed out or lost items (decay etc) might also be claimed from the auction house. You can think of it in terms of the house collecting unused or discarded items that somebody else might like to purchase at a later time.
