Ideas for fixing house ownership

[Keridwyn]

Unfortunately they've said before that's not possible.

I mentioned that in my first sentence. I know the spaghetti code wouldn't allow for such a thing. That would have had to have been built in engine from the ground up as it was in other games. Also I don't know that they've ever said it wasn't possible, we can guess that it is (and if I did miss the article/interview where it's impossibility was stated apologies I'm happy to stand corrected) but it's far more likely they're just not inclined. And that's okay. There are other options such as instanced housing but remember the SB launch and how the instance servers couldn't keep up with us or when people were dodging the afk timer in their houses and bringing them down.

What I'm saying is there are issues with any suggestion on a basic code level just like many other things in this game.

To be fair, the only reason that worked is because being locked in interaction with an item like the MB or sitting mid-craft bypasses the AFK kick timer for...some reason. People were just hiding in their houses so they wouldn't get harassed for cheating the timer.
