Overlap time while switching houses

Ever think of giving an overlap time of maybe an hour when switching houses? To allow glitches to move all their belongings? I would like to move household but I have piles of loam, earth, peat, guano, tree poison, 47 emblems, headphones I've stolen from the crabs, extra herbs and herd-keeping equipment strewn throughout my current property. This would be an great help.
Thanks for reading!

  • I think that's a great idea, serfer0!
    ...or perhaps establish a teleport-move option, so all your stuff shows up in your new house without you having to fetch and carry.
    ...or maybe to make it a little more "interesting", you need to line up at the local office to arrange a mover...or something.

  • You could arrange a moving blimp.... that floats down from the top of the screen and allows you to fill say a 36 slot "container" with the things you want transferred.

    Alternatively they could have storage units... at a few special locations around the map. You can rent a unit for a day or week... and move your items there. Moving house is a big thing so I don't think it should be that easy to move.

  • Most people I know have figured out how to move their stuff by enlisting the help of friends who already have houses.Those friends empty some slots out by leaving stuff at their own houses and going to help the mover take his/her stuff to the new house. Alternately, if the friend lives close to one of the houses this can then become a "drop-off" spot instead of the mover and friend having to actually carry stuff to the new locale.

    I like your idea serfer0 but it can be currently done with a minimum of hassle. This game is supposed to have an element of teamwork, so I don't see a change in the works.

  • I agree with Holly Waterfall. As much as it would be wonderful to not have to go to the hassle that is currently involved in moving house, the game doesn't want it to be easy to play the game alone. It actively encourages interaction between glitches through the quests etc and I think house moving is another area where this comes in.
