The Sheer lack of 3slots and more

[Konali]

Take a look at billboard 7 to see how waiting lists work out:

it would be even worse for houses.

Mick, $nake spent 8 million on that billboard, he rented it for almost a year for Photomania:)
But indeed , a waiting list would not be the solution.

there are lots of big houses and those are just bought by others players and they are inactive or they left .
anyway a good place for houses is  nearly snake , there is a big and a free place with small hills and would be good for some houses

I think the best way to get rid of that system where you have to race to be the first, and you always miss it, is to implement some kind of "waiting list"

Meaning that WHEN you have enough money for, lets say, a 3 slot, you can put yourself in a scripted list in-game, and when a 3 slot house comes up for sale, the first player in the list will be offered the house. He can accept to take it, or wait for the next. If he passes it on, the house will be offered to the 2nd player in the list. The first player on the list will stay first, and will get the next offer on a 3 slot.

And, if a player is on the list, but doesnt play, or isnt online during the time the house gets available, it should be passed on to the next within XXX time if he doesnt respond to it.

I could have missed some big problems and issues around this, but to me, it sounds like a fair way to get houses of higher slots.

+1 supra This is so far the best idea here to solve or at least reduce the problem. There could be also one list for 2 slot applicants, another list for 3 slot applicants and another slot for let's say 4 and more slots applicants so things don't mess.

Yeah, that was what I had in mind, 1 list for each slot, but it doesnt matter when none of the people with power here thinks anything good about it..

Supra i suggested the same thing 6 months ago to. Its a good idea, but it will not work.


After the xmas decorations are done, i will make a new type of map with some ideas to be creative with houses/parkings.
Then we will see if this works.

This is good idea, this way you can continue your working and your "estate agent" call you when you got house
