Player Housing

[MsSmart]

Hi:

 

    It occurs to me that we already have the basis of player housing, but lack the flexibility to actually achieve it.

 

    Let me elaborate, presently we have to create a super group to have a base, which means that if you want your account to have a means to store stuff for all your alts, at least 1 alt can't be in the SG/SGs that all other alts are in. To compound the limitation, most super groups does not allow for personal storage.

 

   When you establish your base, you cade a unique password, that anyone with it can use to get access and visit.

 

   I believe this is the key to player housing, but there is a problem, if you do not have a leader, how do you set permissions?

 

  My thought is, since this is "personal housing" that the base is account locked, that is only alts in your account can deposit and withdraw stuff, and use whatever equipment is there. Visitors given the password to visit, can only use the main teleport beam at the entrance of the base, but at least can tour your house.

 

  I can see, when we go to the courthouse, where we go to establish a super group, the NPC gives us a choice to establish a super group or a player house, when we chose the player house we are given a password to use and we can then go about building our home using the same engine used to build super group bases. Also this method would allow to have several houses if desired.

 

Any thoughts, on how to make this happen in a more smooth manner, with least impact on the developers?

Given the current free, unlimited accounts, with 1000 character slots per Shard each, I think the best solution would be for the introduction of a "Whitelist" to Base Storage Containers.   This would hopefully be the least impactful to the Devs, and allow for players to meet most needs.

I think this would be the easier approach, it may not cover all the bases in your outlined idea @MsSmart, but with the limited Dev resources, I think that this is a great/workable idea.
