    Housing Timer Improvement Suggestion

    Since the Housing Timer doesn't seem to be going anywhere soon I thought I'll give an improvement suggestion that maybe could help, or at least making buying a house a little less painful with the current system.

    When a house is relinquished or demolished and the Housing timer starts, it should be easy to see that the house is under the Timer and can not be bought at the moment.

    This could be done by changing the Auction Plot Icon to a Timer Icon instead.
    (See Picture)



    When you click at the Placard during this time it should state that the plot is only available for relocation.
    (See Picture)



    And when you click on "Purchase Land" the "Private Individual" and "Free Company" should be grayed out and unclickable. This is to prevent people from trying to buy the plot even though the Timer is active. Simply so they won't feel the need to spam click.
    (See Picture)



    When the timer ends the plot icon and messages should just go back to normal.

    Optimally could be that the Placard makes a sound and a flash of some sort when the timer ends to notify patient players waiting there that the plot timer has ended.

    Even though this might not solve the problem I think it could make it a little less painful to buy a house since you won't have to spam click the Placard for hours just to see if the timer has ended.


    (Please note that I do not endorse the current timer system, I just want to improve it until they find something better.)


    If you have any thoughts on this, or have any idea yourself that might make the timer system better, feel free to comment!
