Housing and moving issues

There needs to be a way to be able to move all your belongings at once, by yourself when you move to a new apartment/house and so on. Why noy have Glitch moving companies or a rent a large box or bag to move your belongings. I have quickly outgrown my little house and need to upgrade but it is such a pain in the Glitch I will probable just deal with what I have.

  • I like this idea, I too am staying put because I have too much to move on my own. We already have mail service so maybe some elephants with large trunks could help us move.

  • Same here :( Someone  suggested having possibility to mail to ourself. It will be nice if we have moving box in which we can dump large bags and hog tied pigs too for moving.

  • Not too long ago, I think someone was offering a moving service.  But there would have to be a high level of trust established.  (Here!!!  I have bags to move you.... let me fill them up!!!)

    Wish I could track down the tread....  this has been discussed before.

    That being said, I'd be happy to help you move!! :)

  • If you IM me in game, I will be happy to help move you too.  I have been lucky enough to have people help me, and would be happy to pay it forward.

  • Here's the (very old) thread I was looking for.

    A later thread said the idea was abandoned for now because when Alakol opened up, people were in such a hurry to move, they just gathered up a group of friend to make the move.

  • This has been recommended time and time again.  I personally think the reason they make you move your stuff yourself is to encourage the social action of having a 'moving party' if you can't carry it all.  

    I typically just sell off my excess stuff, and usually don't have any issues moving all my stuff by myself with enough bags. I also prefer to leave a few things behind for the new home owner that gets my house after me as a welcome to their new home. One test period I think I moved 4 times because I was trying out different houses and didn't like the feel of some of them.  It may seem overwhelming at first, but moving isn't that hard, and it gives you a chance to weed out your inventory.

  • I have done the same Beach Bum.  This last test period i moved three times to sample different areas, each time selling and also leaving stuff for the next owner.

    In my new house the previous owner left things behind and I can't tell you how much fun it was opening bags of treasures!  He/She even left behind a fuel making machine... now i will have to learn how to use it!
