Help: Home Ownership
It is possible, and often desired, to own your own home at some point
during your Mystavarian life. Homes provide a constant place of safety
and convenience, along with allowing long term storage of belongings.
Most settlements have a handful of homes within their borders which
can often be purchased from the city government or from individual
sellers. It is also possible to construct an entirely new house suitable
to your desired size and budget.
Each region of Mystavaria features different types of housing, and
usually larger settlements such as cities and kingdoms have more (and
larger) options available. These can range from ramshackle huts to
cottages and opulent mansions. All vary in cost in terms of both
coins and resources required.
Estate Agents
COMING SOON! Cities will soon have an estate agent in which homes for
sale can be purchased. Details and information will be added as soon as
this option is available.
Purchasing a Home
To purchase a home that has already been constructed and is listed for
sale, you must stand in the entryway of the home holding enough coins to
cover the cost of the home and issue the command HOUSE BUY.
Improvements to this process will be coming soon alongside the addition
of Estate Agents.
Building a New Home
If you wish to construct a brand new home, the first step in the process
will be to purchase a vacant lot. Refer to HELP LOTS for more details
on this part of the process. Once you have a lot, you will need to decide
which type of home you would like to build and gather the materials for
construction. It is advised to read HELP BUILDINGS and HELP CONSTRUCTION.
Home Ownership
You may see a list of homes you own using HOUSES OWNED. Note, this
is unique to the zone you are in and will only show homes owned in your
currrent zone.
Most home owners have the unique privilege to submit new titles and
descriptions for any rooms/locations within their home. The only exception
is if the owned home has been marked as historically important, in which
case, the original description and room name can never be modified.
To submit a room name change, use ROOM REQUEST TITLE <new room name>
while standing in the room you wish to change. Room titles can be unique,
but should not imply something that it is not.
To request a room description change, use ROOM REQUEST DESCRIPTION <new
description> while standing in the room you wish to change. There are
only a few rules to follow with descriptions:
1. Please avoid sexual and racist themes, or references of child abuse.
2. Please keep swearing to a minimum.
3. Any reference of "hell" should instead be replaced with references
to "The Isle of the Dead" or "The River of Souls" per Mystavrian lore.
4. Blood, gore, scary or creepy things are acceptable so long as they
make sense in context.
5. Queen's English spelling is preferred.
6. Descriptions should be a minimum of 350 characters and a maximum of
1500 characters.
Submissions will be reviewed promptly. Rejections are unlikely, however,
in such cases, Admin will provide any reasoning for rejection and will work
with you to come up with a description within acceptable guidelines.
