Obviously everyone knows Konali's house. Why does it have a gate? I contemplated buying it, then i saw the gate and realised how much of a waste it is. You can get in from any direction with anycar anyway. Seems unnecessary honestly. This suggestion is probably towards Mick and Joshy more. Since no one owns the house, im free to make a suggestion right?
Yeah me too feel like it's unnecessary. It just increases the house price and unabling people to buy it. I think houses were provided for players only and setting a price which is hard to buy is simply foolishness. Server has so many houses already which can be lowered to a reasonable price, so that everyone can own a decent house. I personally believe in lowering the prices of house and increasing the house slots or vehicle owning limit since it would be more fun that way and will not cause any harm possibly. It's not about Konali's house but about every buyable house at server. I hope you will get my point!
Gates are added via maps. You'll have to find out what the map name is, and remove the map if you wish. Then ask mick (unless you can do it) to change the price, since its stupidly high.

Well duh i know how that works, i could do it without anyone knowing xD
I can ask mick, but its be unfair if i was the one to ask him solely,because i was the one who wanted to buy it.

That's cheating :P
Don't see the reason why the gate shouldn't get removed. You can enter the house from anywhere.
It's like a team without a manager > useless.
You're surely not the only one who wants to buy it.

Remove the gate, lower the price, put the marker on red and when it comes available, the first one who buys it, gets it.

There's been people that have been given houses before. So why can't you? you spend your free time playing admin. You deserve it m8
If you're removing the gate remove the helipad as well so the price drops even more

i didnt do anything special to earn a house, like ethan for mapping vice city or benny for mapping redstone.

thats true, but why hasnt anyone else bought it yet? loans are easy, and more than enough people have the money to own it, its a waste.
the only reason 56 isnt being bought is because of that stupid gate lol. 84 mil for that, its not like its a mansion enclosed in walls like the golf club in LV. that is a reasonable reason to have a gate.

keep the helipad, it keeps it unique to living on the hills, like Hax's house.
Btw, do a challenge, and the winner of challenge, to get for price: the house, like christmas presents hunting 2012 or 2013

0.o cool!!! Best idea!! +84 m for it
@Sandman, You have spend your time in moderating server, helping players & staff and for countless work you guys have done you deserve it.
And i agree gate should be removed as it is useless and price should be lowered.

Im with Sardarji on this one. It was one of the things that still pisses me off to this day. Fair enough he's busy IRL and shit, but mick needs to say thanks to the staff that are running his server 24/7 for him. Benny got that house, why can't you? I say just ask him. Hes really not as bad as everyone seems to think he is.
When the gate is removed the house should be made unbuyable for a few hours to allow everyone a chance to respond to the change.
I've never agreed with mappers being given the chance to get the house before everyone else, and same thing applies to admins/scripters/VIPs etc. I don't run the server though so my only words if Mick gives Sandman the house are: where's mine?
You should get house of your choice too as a token of appreciation.

Off:Ok..Let's give a big and cool house to every player and transform this server into a stunt one!
On: The price makes this house unique.
As example:Why would you buy an iPhone?
a)Because it is a good phone
b)Because it's the best looking phone
c)Because it is an expensive phone and not everybody can afford one ,so you will be better than your "friends"

That is the worst possible example you could give. My year old Nexus 5 at half the price will destroy any iPhone. Expensive != good
If you need to waste money on shitty, expensive items, I feel bad for you.
Its not about the price, Its about the gate...The gate is usless as one could easy evade it and get in. So thats the reason gate should be removed. If you dont want to reduce the price keep the gate then add a fence or something so no one can get in with a vehicle. There should be use of the gate....
Anyone figured out what map file the gate belongs to yet? i'm sure mick wont mind having the gate removed, the price altered and what not
Untill the test server won't work i can't check.

I feel sorry about your dyeing logic.(Red= False & Green= True) I've said that iPhones are expensive shits and this is the only reason why people buy them, just to show how much money they have.
P.S. please don't tell me again about your Nexus because you did it for too many times.(I really don't give a fuck about your phone and I haven't asked you about it)
On:I still think the gate should stay because this house is unique like Happyland & Avispa Country Club and I agree with Benny: just add some fences.

Sandie I wanna say something about this and that is I think you should be able to buy this house or make a suggestion for this house since you are an old & experienced admin. Also this house is not own by anyone so for my opinion you will take it. :like:
The 7 Slot is a special house because of the gate i dont think people should make any changes cuz maybe someone is saving up for it.

I would buy the house, but i dont feel like spending 42mil on a gate, which serves no purpose.

As i said before, theres plenty of people who have the money, including myself, but are holding back because of the price.
Yeah sure its a unique house, its just as bad as Happyland was. imo anyway. Im probably just being picky anyway l0l.
I dont think mick would allow us to remove the gate... did anyone ask him already?

Terrorista310 [17 Oct 18:11]: mick is dead bro
I think Mick has solved this problem by setting house price to 500k and then buying it.
The gate will stay. If it's an issue for this house, I will add fences so it's less accessible.
I agree that house prices don't need to be this high anymore. There's 920 houses for sale at the moment and I think we'll need to gradually lower them.
For the record, I didn't give Ethan the house, I reserved it for him so he could buy it with his money. Since he was the one who mapped the island, I decided he should be able to live there. I did give houses to moderators in the early days, but prices were much lower back then and it was easier to afford one - the "Mansions" cost about 350k-500k. Dr_Hax still owns the house I gave the him then.
Do you think if we (as in you) lower the prices a bit, people will be interested in getting to the 100 loads + buying a house? Thus, sticking around more because:
A) Who doesn't like owning their own place.
B) Its fun to finally get bonus's (where applicable).
C) Carshows :)
D) Racing mick88 and loosing.

I don't think we'll lower the prices drastically. There will be most difference for high slot houses with gates and helipads.
Miss the times when 1slots were under 500k. I really can't say the exact amount but I'm sure it was under 500. Anyways, thanks Mick for rethinking about the value. It is a bit too high
Since like ever i was thinking, why would you pay 1 time more just because you have a gate/parking/helipad. If you have all that you need to pay 3 times more wich is too much in my opinion. Lowering the prices atleast by half like it was 3 years ago would be nice.
And instead of paying 1 time more if you have a gate/parking/helipad you would pay like 1/3 of the original price more.
Decreasing the prices step by step will be a good idea.I remember house prices was rised when everybody was fighting even for 1 slot houses(Like 2 years ago).
buying my first house (it was more of a trailer) at 500k... oh those were the days..
#bringbackoldct Even when I started 2+ years ago I remember fighting for my first house, everyone was cheering me on and one was waiting on top of the house when I arrived. I'd like to see house prices lower, theres no way I will be able to get a 4 slot at the price it is now
Well, I'm playing here now 2 years. Never owned a house :/

Thank you Sandman :so_much_win:
Just lower the price of houses with gates/helipads and everybody will be happy :D ( also lower the normal houses :P )
/me i didnt do anything? o.O

It would be nice for players, but this would also allow players to hog multiple high-slot houses, so no.

No you got me wrong here mick. I suggested this before and my suggestion was that player could own 1 house with any mount of slots and 1 with only 1 or 2 slots.
