We already tried this. I wasn't too happy about doing house auctions manually on regular basis. I(we) have other things to worry about than houses.
Come on it's the best system!
Now if you want 2-3-4 slots you need to waste 10 hours of your life on waiting for house.
Auction back !

House auctions may or may not be added in the next gamemode version.

that's why it shouldn't be implemented again.. it failed last time and I hope its not added because same thing could happen again.

Failed? Just because someone didn't know how to make good auction.If mick says auction is over in 10 hours,then he need to come and lock it.Fuck it.

This may be weird, but I can do the auctions. Although I don't think that's gonna work because I'm a regular player, so I suggest implement it again but give the responsibility of the auctions to 1 person you trust (an admin, or whatever). I really think the auction system was better than what we have now.

This will solve camping but it will start a new problem , i think

Shockwave FFS stop making posts here..

Well at the moment its obvioust that the house system sucks ass.... i'm  honest and 90% ppl of the server will agree, is it worth to waste 3-4 days camping on a 1 house with 10 other nerds? No it isn't, that's the thing that causes wars between friends, as i had experienced it.. the house actions didnt fail, ethan You already have a 3/4/5 slot so stop moaning about others.. It must be added otherwise ppl will complain again and again and again and what's the point?

how about you stop making posts about house system this and new house this, your posts are useless because  the four that I have found in the past by you have not had anything done, meaning it was pointless to post in the forst place

um excuse me but I have a 3 slot house, thats the highest one I have ever had so get your facts straight

I hope auctions dont come back because it would cause more harm than good because peolpe would bicker if they didnt get it because they put a bid in 5 mins to go on their end and the auction had already closed.. that ones of the main problems with auctions, the timezone difference and there would need to be someone monitoring them so that when its closed in the timezone designated, its closed all around the world.

+1 Strato I've been waiting 2 weeks for a 2 slot house now.

House auctions would be a really good idea.

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the "Auction System" eliminate newer players and leave it to those with more money than brains?  2 Slot house.  Now 2.5M.  This is affordable to those newer players.  But in auction, as with all auctions, you will get those players who just "bid up" the price.

As it is, camping is annoying, but in the end, it is a crap shoot as to who gets the house.  So that is more in the line of fair.

Yup i agree. Newer players would only have a chance when they have 5m+ funds, wich they obviously dont have when they start.
Auction for houses maybe works for the 3 + slots houses but even then the chance of failures would still exist and then they would complain again. And we would be back at the start.

Admins are helpers, not monsters.

And i just want to take this moment that i have to thank you SO much for giving me the chance to be a moderator. I really enjoyed it, and although I made bad decisions (like playing MW3 too much haha xD), I really really did enjoy helping players like never before. You were my role model, you were the best admin I had seen in years, and there will never be another one like you.

It will take another to replace me, but I dont think CT can recover if they lose you bro, I wish you the best.

(Pretty sure you hear stuff like this every day XD You're like Chuck norris)

It's unfair that admins can teleport to buy house, and reset their own camping score, but we have to trust that they won't abuse it. We have to trust them anyway, because the server is in their hands. Without admins server is nothing.

Rethinking... my new conclusion is no, it won't solve the problem. Houses will get crazy expensive so newbies (and myself, unashamedly) would be unable to afford anything more than a 2 slot.
I was thinking that maybe all houses would be inactive until an admin came online and did a command to make them all active, but then people would beg and cry, so no.
My best solution is that every house is a 1 slot and people can buy and sell slots as they choose. The price would increase for each slot you buy. This way people can continue to show off, having loads of cash and cars and still have a house without the risk of losing your shit trying to sell and buy; and have a house that didn't burn a massive hole in your e-wallet.

And waiting 10 hours for house will solve problem?
