No free rooms? Possible solution

(1/5) > >>

Wichura:
To populate cities there should be reasons to visit them. Rooms for rent could be that reason, if they are available longer than few hours after each wipe.

So when you are renting a room, you spawn here after talk with NPC:



Map file is here.

Renting system like payment each week or month could remain as it is.

Map is just an example, it took ten minutes to make anyway. What about the idea itself?

Gunduz:
Yeah I think we need something like this. Having a finite number of rooms just doesn't work for an MMO. For payment, I think caps are still fine, but there should also be repeatable quests every payment period. They'd be a little time consuming, but would take the place of payment. The quests could either work to completely negate payment, or to reduce a specific amount (25%?) for each quest completed.

Ex:

The owner says there is a rat/scorpion/etc. problem in the basement, and dispatches the player to clear them out.
The owner is having trouble with a particular NPC tenant, and the player must either collect payment, or get them to leave.
The hotel's boiler room/water pump/something else isn't working, and players can use science/repair to fix the problem.

If these rooms are all instanced, including the quest locations, there should be no lack of housing in the future.
Plus, this solves the issue of locking NPCs/players in hotel rooms they do not own.

Sarakin:
Wichura I was waiting for someone to propose this suggestion and you also made maps for those rooms, good job.
Gunduz your idea reminds me more The Sims or Constructor, than Fonline. Im for one time quest per char, only.

Gunduz' idea is fine. It's not a good idea to give players each thing "for free".

Slaver Snipe:
Good work Wichura, now work on a sexy small slaver base complete with slave pens.  ;D
