I'd be ok with 5-6 per household. I've been held random by Qaddafi for a small house so I could place my tower. Hope you enjoy your gold. Pretty underhanded way to make money.
Seriously, when someone does something that any other person on the server can do if they work at it, it's not dirty or underhanded, it's enterprising. If you're honest about what you're doing, you're not misrepresenting or lieing outright to anyone, you're an honest merchant out to make a profit. If someone doesn't want to pay the price, then you don't have to pay it. That's how you overcome a merchant, through the power of economics. I know when I'm ready to upgrade from my large brick to a tower, there's still spots out there for one if I like. If I can't find one, then I have to decide if it's worth the gold to purchase one from another player. If it's not, I'll place another large near my brick and go on. Economically, it's a buyer's market in the game, you just have to establish that power. For instance, I play my fisherman about 8-10 hours a day most days while I'm working in my store IRL. In that entire time I'm lucky to get one AMIB. Yet, they only sell for 80k or so. That's nowhere near what I could make farming a decent spawn with a bard or a tamer. So I have to decide, is it worth my time to fish for the AMIBs or should I be out farming. I enjoy the fishing because i can stop and deal with customers. So, for me, it's a reasonable compromise. I don't hold anything against anyone as long as they are shoot straight with me and keep an honest attitude. That's just my thoughts, I could be wrong. But in the end, it's just a game.
There is currently no need for housing restrictions. Who wants a world that feels empty? There are still plenty of spots for houses all the way up to towers to be placed. If you want a larger house then that, then whats the harm in there actually being a small real estate market for them?
When the world "feels" empty that's not a bad thing always. With such a small player pop there is no reason a newer player couldn't run around and see decent housing and get excited about being able to find and place a spot, as opposed to saving for a castle and then having to buy a swamp or other horrible located castle/fort/keep for well over deed because people take advantage of being able to own so many spots or just hoard. Having that open land would attract people more than having everything locked down in such a fashion I'd be interested in the % of houses that are not used at all compared to the ones that are used (even for storage) They don't do anyone any good just sitting there empty
I agree, housing limit is a must... Way too many empty houses all over the place. Some people place them "just because"...
Well its been a couple hours.. time for a free bump Wanna trade said Island for a tower and a loggy... mine empty, yours furnished
