House ownership
 

I don't know whether this has been suggested already, but if so I can't remember. I'm sharing my house with another player, and whenever we both place, say, boards on the same spot, it forms 2 different piles. Also, she can't pick up and re-arrange carpets and stuff. So I wonder, wouldn't it be possible to use multiple owners for a house? Like, a family in a playerhouse, or the guards in a stable, if one feels like making one, and so on?

Boards can form 1 pile, they just didn't group it together, and it was made so only the owner can pick up stuff so the other person doesn't run away with your treasure chest filled with 50k plat =P

I see the point in that, but what if two players want to share a house, and so take the risk of one running off? I think that should be possible, even for RP reasons... so people can decide who they gice ownership rkights - or, what the king can add up to 2 accounts to the owner list, even if just as secondary owners, not listed when you click the house, but allowed to move stuff etc.

And the piles were about 2 pixles apart and didn't sum up °°

piles do that sometimes.
I agree with the dual ownership bit, but if I were you, I'd trust no one...I don't let anyone have keys to my house because I have like 8k plat lying on the floor because all my chests are stuffed with cash and items.

I'm suspicious as the next man when it comes to strangers and even graal-friends, but I know I can trust that person - she's my girlfriend and sitting next to me most of the time ;-) So I think there should at least be the possibility. Who people allow in their houses or as their secondary owners is their bussines.

What we need, is for a house, to have a menue, whoever has the master key can give Rights to people in their houses heh, and We need a
HOUSE EDITING MODE and a NORMAL MODE

that way when i want to drop crap on the carpet and pick it up, all i have to do is switch to normal mode and do so without picking up the carpet.

Eh, what about 2 modes now?
You are making houses too complex -_-
Make 2 master keys. That's what I did. Auron and Alex both have master keys to my house. I trust them. I had like 25k around and I knew it would still be there.
Don't trust the person? Don't give them a key -_- Simple as that =/

You mean to create a copy of one? That gives the person access to the house and possibly locked containers, but he can't move stuff, pick chests/beds/carpets up and so on... that was my point - no problem with dropping stuff and someone else picking it up...

go to bogenera say "craft master key".
End.

So another person has another master key - does that give them all the right the account has that is listed as the owner? I.e. "house of"?

Nope, it doesn't.

And that's my point... I'm not talking about giving others plain access to my house, but full rights, change and pick up furniture etc...

"House of" matters not, if you both have a master key you can both have "full rights" a wonder that I forgot you can make spare master keys...End.

Hmmm, I was given the master key to Arin's house after her account ran out, and though the key is still labeled "Key to house of yuriatayde", clicking on the house says "That is the house of Butz". So maybe handing over the original master key does it? Not completely sure, so correct me if I'm wrong.

not to copy or anything but rahz's post is possible i think. If any of you play UO then you know about building houses. i think it would be a good idea if we had somthing like the sims or UO's building system for the inside and the ammount of houses the only thing you would have to change is that instead of one image you slice it allowing bigger/smaller plots of land.

Yes, the master key does that, I gave away my house to my friend when I quit (gave him the key) and it became "House of ALex_6" (his account name) then when I returned, I got my house back, and it once again became "House of Kaiser2"

Okay, we'll try the master key then - but how will the "house of" be handled with secondary master keys? Aren't they supposed to be used when the real one is lost?

They are both identical, secondary and master. It's like item duplication. Just try it >.>

[Edit]In all my years, I've learned there is no substitue for first-hand experiences[/Edit]

I can agree on that, and I just had one made - but in my experience, first-hand-experience can be a lot easier if the preproduction is done with some second-hand-exp ;-)

That's kinda...duh...you should always do your homework (and I don't mean the kind your teachers assign you.)

I concider second-hand-exp as part of the homeworks, by means of asking others in a non-agressive way about what they think or how they did it - then do the actual work, combined with some experiments. Exp-sharing, I'd call it... like when you got a homework, you don't make it up but use books and maybe other people as reference.

This is starting to get way off topic.

Aye, and as my partner can move furniture etc when she's using the duplicate master the whole topic has reached it's solution, methinks. Thanks for the help :)

It's what the forums are for :cool:
