City Life
Is it possible to allow something that is maybe a little pre T2A? I am talking about when it was possible to place houses within cities. I'm sure we do not want strange things like smalls sitting on top of towers, but can we bend the rules a bit? I thought that was one of the worst changes OSI ever made. Why could we not place housing in towns anymore? Seems to me that the place to put a house is in a town. There are many places in towns that look as though they had originally been intentioned for housing, and on many shards there were homes filling them. I, for one, would like to see housing allowed inside of city limits. I live living in a city. Another thing I never understood was why the developers never made the existing housing or hotel rooms available for players to live in. There are dozens and dozens of empty rooms that could be rented out to players as thought that were there home. Rows of housing on Nu'jelm goes unused. If it were possible to allow players to live in these locations as if they owned them, it would bring new life to areas that have always been almost completely forsaken. Most people just use the bank in town and then leave, and frequently even the banks on the islands are practically unused. If it were possible to live inside towns (without building on the roads of course) or even to rent rooms from an inn as a permanent place to stay, then the unihabited regions of the game may actually get used.

I don't really see this happening outside of some special reward possibly. This shard strictly incorporates t2a mechanical accuracy and this would invalidate this structure. However, there is still wiggle room for a 'reward' or 'special house deed item' that could be offered to players.
That first large square building east of the west Trinisic bank was for sale on Baja before the UOR era. Nobody ever did end up buying it that I am aware of though. I remember the sign vividly that was placed on it noting the sale.

I would love to be able to place a house on my keep or on a tower. That would be awesome.

Re: City Life
What about the old Courtyards people made with small houses. I loved being a proud owner of a tower that had a courtyard.Karik Verlee wrote:I would love to be able to place a house on my keep or on a tower. That would be awesome.

Re: City Life
The idea is not so we can place houses in odd places, but so that cities can be like cities, as was originally part of the game.
Re: City Life
houses inside guardzone? almost sounds like trammel.

I believe the term is "go excrement in your hat".
Don't even entertain the idea of allowing houses that are red-free.
No, it sounds like non-accurate to the era and the entire idea should be ignored.Faust wrote:No, it sounds like early pre-t2a.marmalade wrote:houses inside guardzone? almost sounds like trammel.

Re: City Life
It would not be UO t2a. It would be another game.

Re: City Life
There were plenty of these houses that still existed during the t2a era. Baja had one directly next to the Moonglow moongate on the right side that was partially in the guard zone. I'm not arguing that its era accurate to allow current house deeds to be place in this manner because it wouldn't be era accurate.Mens Rea wrote: No, it sounds like non-accurate to the era and the entire idea should be ignored.
