Cities And Housing Archive

Bah, you young whippersnappers don't know how good you have it!

When I was a lad, the programmers built a database that couldn't expand over a certain size without causing the company to have to invest in an expensive license from Oracle. For some reason, they built these houses and then never figured on people actually wanting to put things into them. They figured people would just sell their junk to a junk dealer for the credits.

The database was close to capacity and the Great Melon Nerf of '03 only postponed the inevitable for a bit. Drastic action was warranted and they took it! The horror-struck residents of the various galaxies awoke one day to find that their storage limts had been nerfed to 75 items per lot, with a cap of 250 items no matter the lot requirement of the building.

You think your 400 item limit for a guild hall is too small! Pish tosh! It's a good thing you youngsters didn't have to deal with a 250 limit. You wouldn't have survived it! Too soft. That's the problem with ye youngsters! Too soft by far, with your 400 item guild halls and your 200 item small houses. You're spoilt! You need a good nerfin' just to remind you how lucky you are to live in this modern age of 400 limit housing!

*grumble* *grumble* Ungrateful young whelps, don't know how good they have it! *grumble* *grumble* Hey, you kids! Get offa my lawn!
