Demonmit1 Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) Who is the suggestion for? - every player on the server Why is the suggestion being made? - a significant amount of property's on the server are owned solely for the purpose of garage space for rich players or players who collect a LOT of cars, which is a large contributor to the current housing shortage and extremely high pricing for properties. What are the pros and/or cons of the suggestion? - Pros: Significant in game money sink on non tradeable/re-sellable assets. significant increase in available properties to players who are first time home buyers, as now players don't need to own 5, 7, 10, 15 homes to store all of their vehicles around the map. - Cons: dev work? more trunk goblin shitters at public parking since more activity will be there would make it harder to share cars long terms with friends, as your friends cant access your parking spaces, but can currently access vehicles in garages. More people complain about P2W, since VIP ranks get access to more parking slots with IRL money How should the suggestion be implemented? let players buy extra public parking slots for in game currency. IC way through gov, using /donategovernment, approval, then someone being able to ad a slot, or just a transaction at the parking booth at parking lots. pricing is subject to discussion, but realistically, ~$200,000 in my opinion per slot would make sense, as that is slightly cheaper than current 1G / 2G 3G scaled apartments go for, which a significant amount are used solely for garage space. this would be a significant positive update for the server, greatly reducing the strain on housing demand, as individual parking slots would give players the ability to collect more cars without having to buy up so many properties to store them. it would be QOL update as well, as most of your player cars would be easily accessible from 1 location, rather than you having to remember which one of your half a dozen houses that one car was left in. other potential Pricing structure suggested by Oli initial +1 parking slot = $50k second slot = 100k third slot = $150k fourth slot = $200k potentially cap it there at 200k.

jason Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 big ol +1 half the reason i buy extra houses i don't want is for parking spots, the other half is so that my friends can access my vehicles should also have the ability to allow your friends access to your vehicles at parking 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wifye Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 (edited) +1 Side note, not sure how big the limit should be as a lot of credits are spent on buying additional garage spaces, thus hurting donation amounts. Maybe also have each parking lot at a separate total number and you can buy an additional amount at each one. In base form, you'd have 3 spots in each parking area currently on the map. Then you'd be able to buy an additional 10 at Legion, 10 at Paletto, or other parkings for example.

Oli Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 Think it would be better if it starts at 50k, 2nd slot 100k, 3rd slot 150k, and then cap at 200k for the 4th one and the ones after. +1 to the idea tho 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonmit1 Posted December 30, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 Just now, Oli said: Think it would be better if it starts at 50k, 2nd slot 100k, 3rd slot 150k, and then cap at 200k for the 4th one and the ones after. +1 to the idea tho honestly, good idea. that way it scales reasonably for newer players as they progress and earn more money. like i said, pricing is subject to discussion, but the idea is definitely something that should be done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lutherian90 Posted December 31, 2023 Report Share Posted December 31, 2023 +1 Maybe make a cap on how many we can purchase with in game currency so as to not gimp the donation aspect of this in the credit store. SOME additional parking storage this would be better than what we have now. I've been looking at purchasing property to specifically get around this issue, but the housing market is really bad.

Mpache Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 Big +1, the game economy needs more natural sinks without inflating the cost of other more mandatory things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
