TriadCity Message of the Day
2022-10-07
Until now Player Houses have been a somewhat passive experience. They're often very beautiful — those with river or park views come to mind. You've been able to Customize them with or without a GUI. But you've been limited to the design — the basic Room layout — provided for you by our world authors.
Going forward, you'll be able to Buy empty real estate lots, then Build your own Player Houses on them, with whatever sensibility you choose to employ.
Buying costs Dinars, similarly to our now-traditional or vintage pre-built houses. Building and Customizing though cost Reward Points. Adding a new Room, or an Exit between Rooms which can be Closed and Opened like a door or window costs ten Reward Points. Every other action — adding a description, adding smells or sounds — will set you back a single Reward Point.
There's no limit or constraint on your ambition. You can build a one-room shack, which will certainly do for holding your stuff between server boots. Or you can build a thousand-Room mansion, filled with staircases to nowhere like the Winchester House in San Jose. Best of all there are no Homeowners Associations insisting you're not allowed to paint your gothic castle purple amidst a tidy suburban street of otherwise cookie-cutter boxes. We're looking at you, Westminster California. It's yours to do with as you like.
As of today, Buying and Customizing are implemented. Building will be added asap, maybe as early as this week. Then, little by little, we'll add isolated lots and whole neighborhoods for sale, distributed around the Thirds more or less equally.
