Real Estate Agent Rework Proposal

[Rituals]

IGN: _Rituals_
DATE: 6/16/2023
WHAT YOU WANT TO SUGGEST OR MENTION: Real Estate Agent Menu Rework
HOW WILL THIS BENEFIT THE SERVER/COMMUNITY?:

I believe that the community of SchoolRP will benefit from this rework proposal for a few reasons. Currently, the current menu is lackluster IMAGERY n.1-2. It only provides a showcase of non-leased estates ranging from apartments, houses, and penthouses. However, by the usage of the player base isn't commonly used.​

This suggestion discusses the proposed changes, the scope of the desired outcome, and interactions for the NPC.​

​

IMAGERY n.1 (Empty Menu of the Estate Agent)

IMAGERY n.2 (Available Properties Format)

---

Currently: The current estate agent system -- introduced before December -- only provides open properties that aren't owned by a player, however, this purposefully only visual information is provided to the user. To acquire the property the user will have to be present at the desired property and lastly interact with the sign to make a purchase. According to AllenBUwU's news report for Karakura News on the Minako Property LTD states:

A total 23 out of 30 people voted that Minako Property did NOT do .. anything to help fix any issues, instead, some claimed it actually made them more annoyed to see and hear Kaya Minako tell them what they already know .. that being that there's nothing available. And if something is, its claimed act of immediately.​

My suggestion is to provide a menu rework and introduce new commands, hence inspiration from the auction house for simplicity. The purpose of this new system allow more capability for the NPC. Although most can be reworked to a general aesthetically pleasing menu design. The menu will begin to show available and unavailable properties IMAGERY n.3-5. In addition, the expiration of the lease, Available properties can be bought from this menu by either talking to the NPC or introducing the /estate menu command which opens the menu automatically within the building.

IMAGERY n.3 (Suggested Menu of the Estate Agent)

IMAGERY n.4 (Hovering Available Properties)

IMAGERY n.5 (Hovering Unavailable Properties)

---

This will allow players to view expiring properties without needing to wander Karakura for every property. It'll also allow them to buy it, either through a command such as "/estate buy Property #01", or through a sort of physical manner such as a sign on a bulletin board, placement should preferably deter players from blocking signs from other players, or straight in the menu.

Additional Suggestions/Add-ons

• Various Heads detailing location: House, Apartment Blocks, Penthouse, etc. This can help to detail what place it is without visually looking.
• EDIT: Suggestion from Infi, Community Team & Builder: Filters to search through various properties for the desired block or building.
• " - Size: L25 W12 H9" Included for Apartment blocks, " - Size: Variable" for houses or block G & H.
• A command for KPD to view player housing for keys without requiring staff. "/viewkeys ScoringWynter" presents properties with coordinates, with various pages, the owner of said property, and permissions within, the same visual design as /contacts or /friends list. This will help in finding characters with warrants.
  • Example: ScoringWynter's Accessibilities: Apartment F2 345, Owner: _Rituals_, Permissions: Resident
  • The command can be changed to Character Names in response to the new profile system if deemed to be.
• New Menu design for the Real Estate, possibly such as the Auction House title design.

Very well drawn out suggestion and honestly think it’s worth the bit of dev work required to make it happen.

Should also include a menu that allows you to sort through specific categories of properties (penthouses, apartments, houses)

HOWEVER I believe there are over 1,500 residencies on SRP. It’d have to be very well drawn out so that it’s not an eye sore to sift through pages like a hypixel skyblock auction house

I agree, there should be filters to search between specific properties. It'll be difficult presenting all the residencies but it could show only ones less than a specific amount of days (10 for instance) for preparation rather than all.

Thank you for your suggestion! After discussing this with the team we have decided to decline it.

- It wouldn't make any sense for the Estate Agent to show already owned properties as that is not how they work.​

- We will consider adding dimensions to apartments, but house dimensions will not be possible​
