Automatic Home Demolition is Resuming!!

To build on this, the one thing they don't have an excuse for us furniture storage for housing, that should be nigh infinite because in theory it should literally be a checkbox list of boolean statements (boolVarOwned=true/false) and an integer variable for how many are in storage (intVarStored=#), theoretically on an fc or account basis, but even just on a plot by plot basis in a massive 3d array at worst (super inefficient data storage but it would get the job done, just take forever and a day to fucking load.) 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)

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?
