I have decided that for now there will be no new custom housing built on Talus.
It's a big deal to put the hours and hours into making a custom area and I can't tell you how many players have had a custom housing area built....and then they're gone.
I've deleted a fair amount of custom housing that isn't ever going to come back. I think the resources, and my time, are better used for areas that all players can be using.
Now that I've stated the rule, it's fair that you know there is currently an exception to the rule going on. I'm making a custom house for Kpot's Gen'ir character. The reasons are: 1) Gen'ir is a very old Talus character that had a custom housing area way back when that was deleted. Curiously, there were other long departed characters back then who did not have housing deleted until years later - like the past month, when I've been deleting it. I won't get into that; suffice to say that Gen'ir could well have still had his housing. 2) Kpot is on all the time these days. If someone is going to have custom anything, then they have to be on regularly.
I approached Kpot about doing his housing, he did not approach me. If I see you on all the time then I'll ask you about whether you want things like custom housing, too.
In the future when custom housing is added, if it is added, it will become part of the real estate system that we have here on Talus. If it has been vacant for an extended period of time it will become available to another player. For the most part, however, I think we currently have plenty of player housing available to player characters.
Please send me a PM if you have any questions at all about this.
