    SAVE JUSTICE ISLAND! This ferry is a public service that makes the crossing much safer for all Sosarians.
    Also the tower does not appear abandoned. It is decorated and refreshed. I am pretty sure abandoned houses fall on this shard.

    This area is used for various events, along with a mage tower spawn. Its one of the larger open spaces outside of town without houses which allows for its use for events. (Namely Valentines/Cupid)

    Would be a nice spot for a small pirate casino.

    With single player casino games that favor the house for gold sinks and a smoky poker room to play some hands against other players. Give it a stable and a banker. Some dancing orc ladies couldn't hurt.

    Not much of a "land grab" when we are talking plots that would fit a house or two throughout the lands........

    Might have been just the shards I played on, but I don't remember on OSI any houses being on that large spot out of Vesper. (Unless
    it was in super early days, when you could still place houses in protected zones.
    I do remember hanging out there alot and picking up regents which spawned. (lol this was back in the day when ash only spawned on fire island )

    I have no idea how much coding or what it would take to turn T2A into open housing. I do remember back when you could place homes on uneven ground; big problem was objects could fall through the floor if the ground was uneven under that part of floor.
    Believe at that time only the corners of the houses had to be level (lot of folks used ingots to make them level.)
    Point being: T2A is so un-level, large and small bumps, no idea what problems these would cause.

    Thanks for the posts.

    I really don't think every single spot on the planet needs to be covered in towers.

    An open space provides contrast of environment for the entire shard to potentially enjoy whereas a tower provides an alt storage facility for one maybe two accounts.

    There are already lots of housing plots but if we are pretending to care about more people being able to place large houses why not make it so that every character can't have a house, but limited to one per account? As it is the people who started long ago have the best spots and then the second best spots and then the third. What happens when the shards grows and new players arent able to place because people with three accounts have 15 houses, or towers, depending on how soon they joined the game?

    edit: please no housing in t2a :eek: Let the adventure continue. Tents 4ever!!! :cool:

    Hi. I am one of the long ago players who have multi homes. One reason is I have Wispfelt Village, and most of those homes are
    public and made for player use. Rune library, tailor house, etc.
    This said, I do agree with you about the amount of houses, and that the amounts should be limited.
    In the early days of this server, it was discussed to limit the number of house per player to 10, perhaps it is time to re-address this concept.
    I also like the idea of having open areas. One of my favorite spots is the Royal Cemetery, although it is a grave yard, it is very pretty and adds to the server.

    Thanks
