Help please? Full neighborhood 09/30/2017 08:14 AM CDT

Hi, I asked a question on the 21st in the Homes folder and have not gotten a response and have also checked in game but the issue remains unresolved. Hopefully this folder is watched more closely. Can a GM please help with this issue?

>Subject: Full neighborhood - Highpark Estates, Ta'Illistim

>Hello, any chance a GM could clear up some houses in Ta'Illistim's Highpark Estates--specifically the room below? I would like to purchase a home in the below room but it says none are available. Thank you!

It doesn't appear that there are any abandoned homes in the area you've identified to be cleared out.

I'm not familiar with the neighborhood in question but based on the name I would guess it is intended to be sparsely populated in order to make room for... the estates.

I'm not a NIR or anything but that is my 2 silvers worth.

Premium Homes are a largely unmaintained legacy system at this point. I don't have anyone code-cleared to take on the system or do much of anything with it right now. It has killed multiple GMs in the past so I'm not going to force that on anyone.

There is no automatic eviction set up like player shops have. From what I've seen in my cursory examination of the system, it would require someone with a decent working knowledge of the home system to go through each room in each neighborhood and manually check each home against the account's status. The system was built well before we could do decent automation like we can now.

Abandoned homes go invisible after a while, but they still block new ones from bring built (They sometimes reappear too, there's one in my neighbourhood thats continually cycling, it spends a while at normal status, then its visibly abandoned, then its invisible, then it reappears and the cycle repeats)

Thank you for the information. So even if a room has 1-2 houses, it might have abandoned-yet-unavailable homes in it. I think Tyramia Hollow has the same problem unfortunately. What I gather is the entire neighborhood is a dead zone and there is no way to obtain a home in all of Ta'Illistim. Can nothing be done?

Could a potential solution simply be to add a new room to the neighborhood and set it to allow houses? Then we wouldn't have to worry about evictions. Just a thought. :)

There is a nice neighborhood just outside the Sapphire Gates, did you check there for availability, too?

I ran into the same problem in Tyramia Hollow (that one showed even more full homes!) though I truthfully only want a house within city limits as a full TI citizen. The entire Premium Home system over here is effectively dead if there's no way to obtain property. They should probably be removed from the list of Premium benefits if the code can't be maintained anymore. Hopefully adding a new room, as I suggested earlier, is a feasible solution though. I look forward to a response from the GMs on that suggestion.

I swear sometime in the last year someone had this exact problem in Ta'Illistim and posted a heads up here ... and a couple empty homes sprouted.

New premium contest idea: design a neighborhood room. Then all the winners get added with new available homes. Everyone wins! (especially the winners)

I'm happy to do so if that's what it takes to get a house. The only reason I upgraded to Premium was to get a house in Ta'Illistim. I'm pretty disappointed that there still aren't any available here.
