Where each plot clears itself when ownership is lost

Same checkbox for everybody, but it's probably some shitty optimization from 1.0 they can't get rid of without effectively wiping the entire system so they get a provisional pass imo

It shouldn't though. Past a certain point, it becomes taxing on systems and load times. EQ2 pushed their storage past 1000 and it can take minutes just to load everything up.

I really wonder why... the thing should just be a list, if you had unlimited housing I could see it being an issue, especially if you just build it to only call on the storage list when the game is actually editting something rather than loading it out of the gate for everything, but without seeing what database they're using there's no way to tell (also all of this gets thrown out the window if you link the storage list to something other than plots)

Storage could be more. Placement would still be limited.

why though? It's a video game. Nothing is guaranteed in life at all. Those are the breaks I hate to tell you.

Database with x many thousand people entering a house at the same time, when they enter the database is read and the list populated. Not just the database is a bottleneck, but the network too.

So you really want to be yeeted off a platform in an alliance because a few hundred people entered a home and clogged the network up?

Now if only they would do something to stop people from snapping up multiple houses to sell them via RMT.

Just today on crystal I saw an advert for just that in PF. Offering to sell house plots.

I'm happy I have my small. I got very lucky to get it. It's depressing seeing a few people really screw over a lot of people that want and frankly deserve a shot at a house not get one because various people gamed the system and have entire wards to themselves.

So report it. It's against ToS to purchase a house with the intent to resell. SE can do their investigation to see if it's an indeed a situation that violates the ToS.

Oh! 100% I was talking storage not placement this entire time! Placement will always be highly limited

Again, not talking actually placed items, only stored ones, stuff that isn't visually displayed as it's own object but is just a name on a list. A list that is only accessible and displayed when called on by a player with editing privileges for a specific plot

How can you even sell plots? Unless it's selling an FC?

This mostly doesn’t happen. The few you see are typically compromised accts where they sell the acct itself to you. Then you lose it with OG owner sends in the documents to take it back.
