Cities And Housing Archive

some parts of this game is turning into a joke... i say make people move to the NPC cities, as in the SW universe, that is where people live... or, maybe not make them move, but make them want to move. better to live in a NPC city with lots of people, than in a ghost town where you only drop the stuff you cant carry... or at the krayt spawns

Can't they just make no build zones out X meters from a poi?

They can, but what do you do with the stuff that's already there? They won't destroy houses or make someone move because of a lack of foresight....most of those people would quit the game. Telling a Player City that may have been there since they were initially launched that they can't build anymore structures or grow anymore because they should have made the area no-build from the start would have the same affect as destroying the houses.

There's no easy solution to this. The code would be incredibly complicated to "grandfather" exisiting structures and prevent future building but making exceptions for exisiting Player Cities in those areas. There'd probably have to be separate code for each server, and that's just asking for trouble. It was brought up at Fan Fest last year, and that's pretty much what it came down to.
