I am thinking like i plop down a beacon with a set of plot(s) and rent it to an other player.
So Temmoky owns the beacon and rents it to Mokey.
Mokey then can do what ever he likes on those plots (build make a mess what ever).
Then Mokey is inactive for a set of time and Phill asked Temmoky for a space resulting in a new active player.
As Temmoky removes Mokey as renter.
The beacon reclaims first to Mokey and is after reclaim available again to be “rented”.
Can’t stess on this when the beacon is rented to someone the owner can only fuel and “remove renter (reclaim)”.
The renter has “normal” beacon functions.
Just an idea or other option for owners of city’s and malls.
What i am suggesting is using my plots as a space i own but temporarily transferred “ownership” to someone else until i take it back. They keep their stuff when i do but can so prevent death spaces.
Don’t get me wrong in a way its possible to already do this with the permissions (personal/guild). But the fact then still remains the player that uses said space isn’t guaranteed that their stuff is returned.
Love how aqua on Niia Zed Ka made their mall but the fact still remains they have to manually return the mats back to the players.
And for some that is a little to risky.
That said i see your point the difference is I don’t want to own a complete world, just some terrain on a perm planet. That i can keep in control. By not having to expand my “claim” to create more spaces.
Again i own the plots (the claim always reverts back to me) but its a free set of plots for someone els to use.
Sovereign worlds could eventually hit the same problem as its owner quits but others keep paying for that world. (Or can we currently transfer a world to an other owner).
But that’s the problem. Nobody should own and rent out space on a shared world (in my opinion). Otherwise we’ll have people just grab what’s left of Biitula to rent out.
And for things like a mall or market, stuff like that just empowers people on a power trip and will most likely cause more problems then it solves.
Maybe the renter should be able to vote on the owner every period?
Kind of like are you “active” vote?
Would agree with that.
I do agree with you on your points but…
All i mean with a “rental” beacon is the owner has the ability to give a pre plotted space to an other player with out completely giving it to them.
If someone uses them and goes on a power trip all that will happen is they destroy their own environment.
As for now I already can claim a good chunk on a perm planet and “forget” about the plots.
And am sure there are others that already can do this as well. The only difference is the plots can be used by some one else.
Do like the vote idea kind of like the renter has to vote every 4 weeks in the beacon to keep the rented space?
good idea our system works but its extreme complex lol there still stuff from way back players in our lost and found catacombs
we dont actually give back stuff we just put it in catacombs with name sign just when you want it its there
what ever).
