Please Make Private Room Purchase a One-Time Fee

[Shneibel]

come on, 300k is super easy to make even for casual player

Stick with one FC instead of jumping around. Don't buy a room unless you don't plan on leaving that FC.

I've played MMOs for 8 years now. Trust me when I say that guilds don't always survive according to your plans.
Esp transitions into a new addon are always critical moments.

^not everything in a game or MMO is about making sense.

In this case it literally makes no sense. If I buy a room in one person's FC house, how in all things holy would it make sense I immediately have access to another FC's private residence without paying?

[Toodles]

^my point is it doesn't & it doesn't need to...

Also +1 to Ditto & Granyala's posts.

Except everyone shares that same add-on through some magical Narnia portal.

Unless that door just leads to the corridor from which your room is accessed =D They just don't show that corridor because it's easier on system resources to timeskip past the potentially endless corridor :3
And to prevent people from saying it's not visible from the outside, that door might just as well lead to an underground access tunnel and.... well, excavating a new room and fitting in those automatic lights on the wall that pretend to be windows.... surely that would be a lot more expensive than just 300k gil :3

It's a feature-unlock, makes sense to be one-time only.

The 300k is not a price that you pay to unlock a feature. With the 300k, you purchase a room located within the current FC and since you have obtained a permit to use room within the FC, you will gain access to a feature with which you decorate the room in question.

By leaving the FC, you’ve explicitly decided to “demolish” the room while returning your belongings which have not been permanently bound to the FC room. So, when switching FC’s you will be required to purchase a room within that FC to gain access to it as well as the feature with which you can decorate it.

It is the same when you decide that you want to move to a different plot al together, whether or not you’ve purchased the plot of land for personal or company use. If you’ve purchased a small plot for 5 Million and spend 450k (using my own server as an example) on a permit, you will have permission to place a house on the given plot. If you decide to move to a different plot, you will have to purchase both the new plot as well as the permit to place a house on that new plot you’ve purchased.

Purchasing a room in an FC or permit to build a house on a plot of land doesn’t mean that you “physically” own the room/house. You get permission to use it or build a house on it. So, you cannot take the entire room/house with you when you move to a different plot/FC. Only the stuff you put into that room/house will be returned to you when you choose leave the FC/plot.

This rule also applies when you want to switch “Private Rooms” within the same FC. If you want switch from “Private Room #13” to “Private Room #1”, you will have to “Demolish” your current room “Private Room #13” and purchase “Private Room #1” in order gain permission to use it.

In short, think carefully before purchasing a room within an FC or a plot of land. You are paying to gain access to that specific room within the FC or to place a house on that specific plot.

I'd of preferred for personal rooms to have been done through capital cities and not gated behind FC housing.

If you decide to move to a different plot, you will have to purchase both the new plot as well as the permit to place a house on that new plot you’ve purchased.

Nope - you'll actually get the house permit back, "only" the plot is relinquished without refund So if you'd stay in the same state and would like to build the same size of the house you can re-use the house permit, if you want to change state or house size you'd need to purchase a new pemit as well indeed but you can still sell the old one. Cosidering though that major part of the "house" (plot and permit) is the price of the plot it's a smal consolation anyway ...
