OK, maybe not truly free – but not costing real money either!
I spent a lot of time figuring out how I wanted rentals to work, and now that I have an idea, I’ve started working on it. Here’s the lowdown:
- Personal rentals (The common “skybox rental”) will cost $L like everywhere else, probably at 2L per LI since that’s the benchmark
- Commercial rentals are different: Commercial rentals will be payable using $L OR in-game currency. The idea here is twofold:
- Not to paywall player businesses and creativity behind real-world monies
- Encourage roleplay generating businesses to sprout up
A requirement for the commercial rentals is that they be exactly that: player-owned and roleplay generating
Some ideas I thought of for this are:
- Bars and restaurants
- Goods sales like pawn shops, weapon shops, etc
- Player-facing businesses like shipping companies, bounty hunters, etc.
- Guild halls and the like for groups like shipbreakers, scavengers, etc
- For right now it has to be a player/character owning a shop, not a company per-se, but this will overall support the company system we already built. Players will be able to create companies with assets and employees without any admin intervention.
Finally, a call for help
If you want to build one of the following, please reach out via ticket and we can chat about implementation. We’re looking for more groups!
- Crime groups
- Medical groups
- Businesses and the like
I want to know what people want to build before sim open so I can tailor the experience to it and give everyone a nudge to get started. Talk to Obama or open a ticket if that’s you!
