[POL99 Idea] Rare house deeds

[Lexx]

This is an idea for POL99:

New custom houses in NLR99 will be great, but wouldn't it be fun if a few select of thoose were actually rares?
Meaning you can't just buy the deeds, you would have to get it from either monster, treasure or tourney.

Maybe something like this:
* You get your hands of a tattered house deed which is unusable.
* An architect will then help turn it into a real house deed, for a price.
* This is so you can't just get free house deeds, it would still cost you a lot of money.

Exactly how rare, how they're obtained and which houses would be up to staff to decide.
But you know that you would have a status symbol clearly visible to all people passing by

Out of curiousity, is it technically possible to tint a multi? Say a pink boat or house? Don't know if client or POL would support colored multis. If it was possible it could work something like:

* When clicking a house deed, the house you create takes on same hue as the deed. Redeed would preserve the hue. Same thing with boats.

Staff can then hand out unique colored boats/houses during events.
Very rare though, we wouldn't want to see half the shard of colored houses,
enough so people react in awe (or disgust) when they do see one

the main idea in its basic form, aka rare houses = win idea. doesnt have to be any more fancy than that tho

[gotti]

on runnl you could build your own houses, that would be nice too dunno if possible

might seem like a good idea until you realize how ugly houses ppl build

[Flashpoint]

LOL

Ill agree with that, while some people might have a good idea what they are doing. Others do not.

Its a brilliant idea, but it has flaws.

So let's work out the flaws then and make it better

+1 For this idea. It will limit the flood of houses on the shard. People would use their bank box more like they should. But.. still, I've a question. Should house deed only come from Deamons or atleast high level monsters or also from the lower levels so the newbs have a chance to get a house and not buy them for an idiotic price.

though, Ill not EVER give out a colored multi. It will ruin the 'realness'.

Fair enough, wouldn't want the world of Neverlands to feel too 'unreal'

Here's an idea, combine it with a weekly quest:

* A Quest NPC will give you a quest, perhaps to kill a troublesome dragon near Yew, maybe recover a lost item from inside a dungeon etc.
* Complete the quest, return the item dropped/requested and you get a rare item as reward. One of theese rares can be a 'tattered house deed'.
* Architects will gladly help you restore the tattered house deed for a fee of 500k gold.
* This Quest NPC will only give you one quest/week.
* Staff can at any time choose to change the quest/location.

Advantage is that staff can get people into virtually deserted areas. Everyone gets the same quest, it opens up the possibility for either team work, PvP, stealing, or simply buy the quest item off someone else. Imagine the fun if this would happen on a place like dot island, or serenity island, with people hanging around with boats waiting for a rare spawn to pop up there

There have to be other unique rares as reward also, perhaps not everyone is interested in a new house. Perhaps a gargoyle pickaxe as a rare. (Mind you, if a gargoyle spawn from this, it should make you criminal, forcing theese Nexus miners to unguarded areas)

pretty nifty Idea. Never heard of something like that before, i wouldn't mind seeing it implemented.
