I have been trying to find a good place to settle besides my town. i can't because the legacy/rising map is splattered with lwcs of players who stopped playing. these are hinderences. These lead to many people not putting a town there, because lwc removals are tricky and time consuming. This would also stimulate the economy, if you were to leave the contents of the chests in place, it would be fun to try to find wild chests. also, they make the rising/legacy maps ugly because you have randomly floating chests/furnaces/etc. For a system of insuring that no active players lwc's are removed, you could sed them mail, and if they do not reply within 5 days, you remove the lwc. to find old lwc's you could offer a small award, (like $5-$20) for the coordinates. i am sure you hear this alot, but i hope this thread will convince you.
You can just place your town on top of the lwcs and remove them. What's stopping you from doing that?
I actually don't mind this idea. The worlds, in particularly Legacy, get very cluttered. However, the way you plan to handle this goes too far. People should be offline a long time (eg 3-6 months) before their stuff gets LWC'd.
Sub, true, i tried to factor in how long it would take to find them. but perhaps your time frame is more forgiving. @Dccciz Removing lwc's is a really annoying process.
This is FAR FAR FAR easier said, than actually done. LITERALLY. Just reading this suggestion made my brain explode in ways unimaginable. Not because I don't like it, (In fact I love this suggestion) but because when I started to think how to do it... oh my, don't ask... It's... oh my... if only you guys understood the horrendous current state of the LWC plugin. /me *dies* If I did eventually do this suggestion though I'd definitely feel like this: Spoiler
If i knew anything about programming, i'd offer help. but I don't so I can't. IF there were a way to enable/create a plugin that would allow someone to unlock any wild lwc of someone who left, I would gladly help, and return all loot, as to not destroy the economy. I really like this server, and would be very, very happy to help the community any way I can.
-1 The LWC process isn't actually that hard, Yes its a little tedious when it comes to unknown locks, But its not that much of a hassle. If you dont want to deal with locks on the land, buy a ocean town, or just spend a hour or so filing, im sure dozen of people are also willing to help you if you have any problems or questions about the LWC filing process. If anything its quicker filing LWC's then actually filling for Mayor.... Redesigning LWC's to enable this idea just isnt worth it for people who don't want to learn how to file a LWC, id rather the devs focus on other things.
-1 I don't want my stuff taken away if I go inactive and come back and I'm sure many other players think the same.
Would it basically require a WorldGuard region check for the command to destroy all LWCs in the world to be placed in the apparently messy code to create an even messier mess of doom? ._. If yes, that sounds fun.
Ok, no offense mission, but do you know EXACTLY what LWC plugin we use? if not, how would you know how it works?
True But I know that learning how to fill out the LWC application is easier then learning and coding how to change the LWC plugin to fulfil your request...and is it really worth all that effort when you could just learn how to fill out the LWC app...just saying...
I can't fill out a lwc removal unless it's in my town. If i could remove lwcs any way, i'd be willing to help. that was just an example.
