Title: Real Estate Office
Post by: DeweyMeister on May 23, 2012, 08:55:07 am
Ok so i just had this random thought that could be really helpful. What if we had a serverwide real estate office near the spawn and market where you could put up your houses for sale and rent and advertise towns. This is just an idea and would take a very long time to get it up and running and would need many people to operate but it would be helpful as someone could possibly sell their houses really quickly. I would be most certainly willing to help in the designing and building of it if it was to become something that the server embraced. So yeah if anyone else thinks that this would be a cool idea for the server reply leaving your thoughts.

Thanks

I think a mod should move this to Suggestions.

I thunk this is a great idea, but I think if advertising towns the town could have a warp sign at the real estate?

EDIT: It could work with the warp stone idea?

Yer but see not everyone would have to put houses up and also we could put like a min and max price limit on the area so that its only for houses that are in a good price range for people, but yes there could be a crazy section for homes like your spam :P

No. This is a survival server, not a city server.

That's a bit harsh, Raul...
It's not turning the server into a "city server", just making it easier to buy houses.

raul yes i know its a survival server but isnt there a market, just making a point its not a ture survival server and so i dont see how a real estate would be that much of an issue but thanks for the input :P

You can just sell it, you don't need an office for it.

Well, think about this. We all live in different timezones of the world. For example, when I get home from school and login into Opticraft, there are a maximum of 50 people online. Other people login into Opticraft and there are > 150 people online. So what if someone is trying to sell a house or a plot when there are < 50 online. It's a lot harder for that individual than it is for another individual who is accompanied by > 150 people.

Therefore, having a building of this nature could quite possibly help out Opticraft. People could see the adds, right click on it, get teleported to that spot, and then use a command such as /p buy and then they have access to that plot. Sure it'd need a lot of coding to get perfected but, as I mentioned before, it could have a significant impact to the community of Opticraft

On paper it may sound like a good idea, but it's not something that works.

How so? What would make it NOT work?

I think Raul is trying to say it wouldn't be worth it for the amount of time it would need for operating and stuff and Raul it just makes it easier if there is an office but I get your opinion.

This is a good idea but maybe keep it to Tow s etc, So For instance i would have one in my town for houses in my town etc maybe a server wide one would be good but if its near spawn no one could personly put there houses on...

The whole purpose for this real estate office was that it was to connect the whole server even if people are on different time zones. A town real estate office is limited and so a serverwide would be the most beneficial. I do understand now looking back on this that it is a bit outrageous as it would be incredibly difficult to run and manage, if anyone has any ideas on how it would work please let me know.

Thanks Dewey :)
