[CF-Devel] new savebed concept

[Michael Toennies]

Only one statement:
Yes, yes and yes :)

Only one more suggestion:

There are in stone city buildings to buy.

The point is, that there are only a few big buildings.
Is a player buyed one (i do on a server) it is lost
forever when the player leave ( i do :).

The buildings are nice and cost a lot.

Now my idea is, to make "virtual" perm. appartments.

That mean, you start with a very small perm. appartment,
much smaller than you one you have now.

Then, you can "buy" you new appartments (buildings). They simply
get copied above your old apparment structure. The items in there must
get insert there too (on a bulk), well its always a nice thing to sort all
your stuff new :)

We can handle it in 2 ways. We can simply put in most citys per. appartment
points (which i dont like).
Or we can fake the real buildings, means you must go to the building and you
enter there a
teleporter like in the perm. appartment. I prefer this, because it looks
more "real".

You can do in this style a kind of "social" carrier, buy you in from low
city parts in the
royal center for example. Its stuff for nice new quest too.
