House Incentives

Era needs to give it's players incentives to as why they should have a house/apartment. Right now the houses are only used for storage, and the pride of wealth. Also there should be limits/policies/rules/etc for LATs that deals with people's houses. So anyways, I'm going to be leaving my ideas about how the Player Housing can be revised.

House Prices/Values

House prices should be based on the values (Story levels, Land Area, Rooms, etc). For example:

House Subject #1
-Property Area = 20x20(tiles): $$$
-House Size = $$$
-3 Rooms, 1 Storage = $$

$ Sign = How much is it based on. The more "$" the more it's based on.
*Note that you can add anything on your Property. Whether it's a swimming pool, or a storage house, etc. Though it will add to your land value.

Also Taxes should be based on the same as Housing values. Owners need to lose money or their money will stack or something, and ruin the economy. Money needs to
come and go, and the owners need to work for their house/money.

Incentives

Cooking
Cooking can be utilized with the stove (Which you need to buy from a Utilities Store) with the necessary ingredients/utensil.
The Cooking system can be very much like Harvest Moon, if you have played it before. Example:

I have bought a stove supposedly from a Utility Store. Than I buy a frying pan from a Chef Store or some sort. Let's say I want some fried rice, well
I would than buy the necessary ingredients to make fried rice. Let's just say 1 steamed rice, 1 soy sauce, 1 egg for now.

So than I drop the Stove, and than I double click it to bring up a menu where I need to choose a utensil. (In this case, frying pan) than It would bring
me up to another menu to choose an the ingredients. If I did it right, than it would come up with the Fried Rice item or else it would come out with a burnt food item.

*Note that the stove can only be used in houses/apartments, and that you may not even have to buy the stove or whatever utensil.
Utilities can be: Stove, Microwave, etc.

Renovations
Renovations needs some policies/rules. Such as renovating a house can only happen if it stays the same as the house size/look. Just that the owner can change the carpet/tiles, and the walls, etc. Which will cost the players.

If they want to add another level/room/size change than it would cost them extra.

All this money that is being given to the LAT should be used something than their own expense, because other Dev staffs don't have any benefits which is kind of unfair.



Anyways that is my COMPLETE revised/organized list of my ideas. *I had a different unorganized list before this edit.

It can also apply to new maps. I'm talking about housing in general, not the GMAP and where the houses are located at..

*Edit: Read again, I just revised the way I expressed my ideas.

Delete them all, replace with instanced housing or the old redfox/hotel apartments we had back in the day.

Then you can offer people the option to purchase vending machines or furniture or somesuch item that would offer a bonus to people who owned such a spot to put it, like buying a cola vending machine that dispensed a set amount of free cola per day, a bed that overhealed you by 20hp if you slept in it, a coffee machine that yielded a type of coffee of your choice in batches every day for free, a television, radio - the thing is practically limitless, and you could even create a new business or group of businesses to distribute these products.

Yes, fixing up the housing system can open up a lot of new ideas to help make the economy more diverse so that it won't become flawed later on.

Yes. for exemple a big batiment with a lot of litlle flats inside.
the prise of a flat would be cheaper than a big house xD

i agree.

houses are overly expensive, would make good shops, and are barely used.
