I remember reading about a house pack up command that was going to be put in place. I was thinking about an addition to this. Allow mayors of a city to pack up player housing to a player that has not been on in a while. Let me explain a bit more. My town has not a lot of room. We have players that have not logged in months. What i would like to see happen is, a mayor can go up to a house owned by a person in town and do the pack up command and pack up the house to the unused players data pad. That way we could put down new houses for active players and if the unlogged player comes back they still have there house, it is just in there inventory.

the devs will never do that because it could be abused failry easy.... it could work if maybe the mayor only had that option if the player was inactive for a set amount of time.... like maybe 90 days then the mayor could remove it... course they probably wont do that either because some mayors dont mind inactive houses... they just want their precious shuttleports.... SO, the devs will probably just integrate somthing where they auto-deed after a set time... your guess is as good as mine

I think the devs really want to do this. The problem is that it's very prone to bugs and exploits.

It cannot be traded because once packed up the house etill takes up your lots.


However you could have the house placed somewhere and once sold to another player then you could /transferstructure to them. They could then packup the house and move it to wherever tehy wanted(making sure they have the free lots first).

I don't think you'll ever see the Dev's give this kind of option in any form to a player. It just has to much room for abuse.



However! I do think the house packup command is a first move by the Dev's to be able to finally make the Player Purge they announced would take place last October! LOL


Once they can get this in place then I think we'll see them move on to trying to packup Player placed guildhalls, cantinas, med centers, harvestors, factories etc.


Once that is in place then we'll see the Dev's do exactly what a lot of Mayors want. Purge the player database and packup all the items.


Personally I don't ever see it happening though because the Dev's are so afraid that they'll lose some items and a player will come back after sday a 6 month hiatus and not have all his/her items and scream bloody murder when they see they don't have anything in game placed as they had it. It's all in their inventory.


I just don't think the Dev's have the wherewithal to make the move and pull the trigger on player purge. I hope I am wrong because it needs to be done badly!!
