Make map accessible from all home locations, not just 30k and 50k ones

I already put this in the ideas forum, but reposting b/c I think this will get wider response in General.

In case you didn't know, as I did not until a few minutes ago, you cannot access the map from any home other than the "mansions." I am a pretty go-with-the-flow gal, but I find this nigh infuriating. 

TS, please please please change this.

  • What are you, some kind of communist? Why not reward glitchen who have worked harder for their homes?

  • Since I'm leaving the house anyway it's not a problem at all to check the map once I'm on the street.

  • Ruptures: There is already ample reward in the form of patches, pens, closet space, space in general, and garden plots. This other feature is out of proportion to the additional cost imho. Also, I've been here since July, have tons of currants, and spent the whole morning getting all my shite together to move to a bog home... what about that work? (and just fyi, your tone and use of the word communist as a derogation is somewhat offensive)

    Octo: I am accustomed to doing my planning, with the aid of a map, from my home. I'll look at the map as part of my decision making process on what I'd like to do for the day.

  • I think that's a bug, not a feature.

  • Natalia, I'm told by programmers that they'll often call anything they change a "bug." lol

  • Moving to the Ideas forum, because it's still an idea. But we've definitely noted it. 

    ETA: The maps in bigger houses are mostly there because they're big enough for a map to be useful, instead of in the way.

  • You can't TP to the inside of your home if you have a 50k house. Or maybe that is just me. You get stuck outside on the residential street.

    Plusses and minuses to all home types, really.

  • I'd like to be able to access the map inside my house, so I can directly location-teleport straight out of my home instead of having to go outside to access the map. For example, quickly responding to rook attacks while I'm at home. It's not that big of a delay, but it's there.

    And, BTW, my teleport location set for my home takes me to right outside my house (it's a bog house). Are there actually any houses at all where this isn't the case?

  • I may have misunderstood, but some folks have claimed to be able to TP right into their homes rather than outside their front doors. I'm open to correction if I got that wrong.

  • It might very well be the case with some homes, but it isn't "all houses that aren't Scandinavian mansions." Speaking of, I wouldn't mind having that ability as well. Though since it TPs me right outside my door, it's pretty easy to just hit the Enter Key and immediately go inside.

  • There are a few people (not many) who can TP directly into their homes. But that seems to be a "glitch" (ha ha) if I understand it correctly. It was changed for security reasons, to prevent unauthorized people from entering other players houses by teleportation.

    There was an earlier topic about it here: http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/11742/

    When I'm "guiding" I'm often at home - cos when it's busy it's hard to actively play and guide at the same time. I've got a cottage and, when someone asks a map-related question, I have to run out onto the street before I can respond.. would be much handier to have the map available from inside the house.

  • Sorry La_La, total Poe's Law situation there. I agree with you and do not use 'communist' derogatorily unless I'm joking. Shoulda winked. I meant to follow up but didn't find this thread until now because it was moved to Ideas.
