Fidel suggested I repost this here.




I have an idea.
Housing in Era is too limited and expensive. Super top-tier players have their Northridge mansions, sure, but most players like me are hobos. I need a home-base, basically.
N-Pulse, and more recently Unholy Nation, have implemented housing systems where any p2p player can buy a level that they can warp to from a housing area (while not in PK mode, of course). From there, there's an in-game tile editor that people can use to build their house, or noobs could pick from one of several preset rooms. People could pay some arbitrary, yet attainable, amount of money to buy new rooms. Say, 50K. Each level could be named something like era_rooms_accountnamehere_1.nw and so on, in sequential order, up to a max of five or eight or something.
This system could be integrated with the furniture store's items (most of which are useless to most players). Beds, lockers, all of that good stuff. And of course, house owners could set access permissions for other people. Adding new rooms and furniture would add a lot of incentive and awesomeness to Era, other than "Durr hurr me want bigger gun!11".

Sounds good to me.

Please make this happen.

So what, the housing system like runescape or iEra have?
Sounds great.

Good idea

I haven't played those. Please elaborate as to what you don't like about my suggestion.

No dude I thought it was a cool idea. Both of those games employed similar ideas and it seems to work out really well.

So what happens to the already incredibly underused gmap now? Will people still have that plot of land or will it be like /warpto MUH MOFUGGIN HAUS? Like the gmap isn't used at all anyways so..

I was thinking it would work inside the already built houses

Ah, sorry. I misread that for sarcasm.

And Booger, the houses that already exist should still exist. They'd be the fancy houses. GMAP house = status symbol or something. Everybody else would be crammed onto the 98th floor of Era Apartments.

I agree. iclassic has this feature with just presets and it worked out great. u can invite players to ur house or just right click on them and press "go to house" if their house is open. i like ur idea
