Topic title,
or otherwise I will use a proxy alt to create my tents.
Yes, that is a blackmail.
Yes, that is a joke, don't get too angry -.-
Why not let a character have like 3 tents max, which are called "Tent 1", "Tent 2", "Tent 3", and when you create another tent, then "Tent 1" gets removed, the numeration moves backward by one point(so the previous "Tent 2" is now "Tent 1"). Why is that? In case someone forgot in which order he had created his tents, and wants to relocate them not loosing his stuff.
Will the database get flooded?
No. Actually it will be less flooded since you will give the possibility to create an additional tent without creating a "tent alt" along with it, which floods the database even more.
