Hey folks!

My partner made our first PA hall last night. We had reserved a space in our town for a Tatooine Hall but she was a little excited and went for the Generic PA deed and even experimented on it for fun. An amazing success! I seriously doubt that 66% increased durability will come into play unless we forget to maintain it for a week.

I had called in everyone we knew with open build slots and did a "/transferstructure" and cleaned out all 10 of my slots so I could place the PA Hall. We will eventualy elect some poor person to hold the deed for the duration, I certainly can't afford to loose 9 of my slots.

Anyway the sudden change in lot size caused us a problem as I had only allocated room fora smaller PA lot. So I wandered off in the desert and droped the hall just to see what it looked like. It is a very impressive looking building for the record.

That's when we found a small problem. The admins are unable to operate the elevator. I had made my partner an admin as soon as I walked in and we had no idea this thing had a basement. It was very frustrating to recieve the /tell's from the folks that could go downstairs.

I removed her fromthe admin list but it was too late, she was not able to go downstairs at all. This was no big deal really as we planned to move the hall in a few hours. We waited for some folks to log on and we relocated a factory and some power harvesters right on the edge of the town. I went back to the PA and reclaimed the deed. It takes 5000 credits of maintence to do this for the record.

We gathered around and were about to place the Hall, I was being picky about the placement, when a stranger walked up and built a small house on the spot we spent hours cleaning up. He just ran up, dropped the house and walked off. It was likehit and run construction!

I was breaking my keyboard in frustration when we manged to talk this guy into coming back. 2000 credits later he agreed to be bribed and wandered off. Mind you we are a planned community, no one is supposed to walk up and drop a house but they do it all the time! Its very frustrating not having the "player city" options.

Anyway we manged to get it placed a second time. Were going to make that darn Tatooine PA hall next and put it in the center square of the town as planned as well.

Anyway in summary:

Generic PA Hall - Huge, good looking, 3 story. The top floor counts as "outside" sadly but it makes a nice place to launch fireworks from.

Redeed cost 5000 credits.

Admin's unable to use elevator. Thats the only way to the basement by the way, a rather large portion of the space in this hall is underground.

We dont have a good plan to get items into the basement yet. I've considered sending someone down full of tables and chairs and then making them the owner of the hall. That will work if they can stay inrange for the /transfer with me 1 floor up. That person can then place the items...but they will never be able to get back up the elevator.

Maybe we can borrow an account from another server and then strand this guy in the basement as he sacrifices himself to place some nice tables and chairs for us?

Oh what fun we have...

I have made 7 pa halls, 3 were generic and the naboo is identical to generic ( just cheaper.. thats stupid), and I made 2 naboo, and all 5 owners can use the elevator.. some players cant..

Sometimes you lose the ability to use the elevator for a short time. It has happened to me a few times, and usually logging clears it up. If not, the next server reset does.

So the Naboo Hall looks just like a Generic PA hall? I thougt generic would look like Corelian since the houses do. I've been trying to fina a Naboo guild hall to look at because my guild is buying one . We've seen Tatooine, Corelian and we wanted to get an idea of a Naboo guild hall. Please if you have a sceenshot orcoordinates to one on any server could you give them to me.Thanks!!!! Eddie

You guys were right! I made it into the basement the next day.

Careful down in the dungeon.

Very bad bug on Bloodfin at the moment of people getting stuck there because the elevator controls disappear and the only way to get out is to die which means sending someone in to kill them which means you now have another person stuck in the dungeon.

Its a viscous cycle.

Bug on Intrepid, no PA Control Panel, no Structure Control Panel, no Elevator Control. We have about 20k of resources dropped in our basement we can't get too. Luckily we have plenty of money in maintenance cause we can't pay any right now.
