Live update 19b and houses, some thoughts

[Nimington]

<div></div><div><div><strong><font color="#ffcc00"></font></strong><hr></div><div><strong><font color="#ffcc00">*** Housing ***</font></strong>- You can now access your house vault from any house via a new right click menu option on the interior door and market board. Yes, this means you can open up your vault from a friend's house that you're allowed to sell from!</div><div><hr></div>Curious, but is it possible to get a distinction between visitor and friend?  I have several guildies I would LOVE to share my place with, but given how often I accidental move something in my house trying to click on something else I would prefer to leave it so that they can not move things around, yet still be able to sell from my home, calling this rank "guest" or something.</div><div> </div><div>Secondly the way the current 'Default' setting for your home access could use some work.  Really the 'Friend' and 'Trustee' need to be removed.  If people set anyone as friend, they it is almost guaranteed that someone will come in and move all their stuff into the walls.  Generally it is only new players who assume that this setting grants access to everyone on their friends list, not that anyone and everyone can move their things.  As for Trustee I'm not sure there are many situations that anyone would WANT to make the whole world able to take their stuff.</div><div> </div><div>It would be more useful to have a toggle to allow visitors or not and then perhaps have drop downs for guild mates and people on your friends list.  Thus you could set it so that anyone in your guild has 'guest' access or 'friend' access depending on how your guild works.  Then you can still select individuals for other levels as is now, but not accidentally open your home to anyone wishing to cause harm.</div>

<div></div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">i agree with removing the trustee and friend levels of general access.  no player that cares about their home would knowingly use them.  doesn't make sense that those options are available.  just give us a checkbox for locking the door.</font></div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS"></font> </div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">i also agree with giving us an access setting that allows certain guests to use the market board and access their house vaults from within our homes, but without giving them the ability move anything.  this would be great for shop owners who have friends who want to help run the shop, but don't want to risk anyone accidently shifting things out of place.</font></div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS"></font> </div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">it would also be useful to have settings that allow guild members at and above a certain ranks different levels of access to a home.  this would be very useful in setting up guildhouses.  you'd have to have a dropdown for each of the access levels, with all the ranks in your guild listed.  for instance:</font></div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS"></font> </div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">Visitor:  Recruit</font></div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS"></font> </div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">Associate (can use bb and access their house vault, but can't move stuff):  Member</font></div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS"></font> </div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">Friend:  Senior Officer</font></div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS"></font> </div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">Trustee:  Leader</font></div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS"></font> </div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS">you'd have to make sure, however, that individual settings for certain characters would override these general settings.  lets say the Guild Leader wanted to give the guild's carpenter Trustee access, for example, but the carpenter is a Senior Officer.</font></div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS"></font> </div><div><font color="#66ccff" size="4" face="Comic Sans MS"></font> </div><div> </div>
