I was told to come post here after referencing this topic in discord.
Me and my friend recently came back a few weeks back and ran into an issue that pretty much stifled any growth we wanted to see happen for our characters. Crafting is at a stand still as well.
Why? Because there are no houses available on Hibernia and there hasn't been for awhile. We can't peddle our wares and we can't play the game in the way that most everyone else can.
I've heard talk of removing the consignment merchants ability to pay for housing upkeep and I think this is a fantastic start - but it needs to be implemented. There are surely hundreds of houses that are only still standing due to low costs of keeping a house and from folks who had 20-30p sitting on the merchant when they quit the game / decided to break.
Solutions:
- Remove the ability to pay housing upkeep from consignment merchants (while keeping the in-game pay all realm function for those who are active)
- Raise the cost of keeping a house (if this is even possible code-wise at this point) to dis-encourage the hoarding of lots. I'd say this would only be necessary if the consignment merchant change didn't level the playing field.
Please we just want to play the game. I don't want to feel like I can't because the only house available on Hibernia right now is 93p.
