gnomes should transfer ownership upon sale of house

The title says it all. I bought an apartment in Boan Stravenue Lofts for my kids and there's a gnome outside that we can't control. When somebody sells their house and leaves a gnome behind, the gnome ownership should transfer to the new owner of the house. Or perhaps it should just appear in the old owner's inventory or something. In any case, when you buy a house it shouldn't have things like that that you can't do anything with.

 I guess the same goes for things like butterflies, chickens, etc.. I'm sure a lot of people lately left quite a messy menagerie behind to move to alakol and the new players that buy those houses might not be happy with so many piggies trampling over their garden.

  • Agreed on the gnomes, but you can see the animals in the realty listing, so you should be able to choose a house with the amount you like.

  • According to kevbob, when I talked to him about it, they're supposed to, and they're working on it. In the meantime, let one of the devs know, and they'll come take the gnome away.

  • I moved to get away from my pigs and chickens.  I offered them for FREE and asked for them to be removed but it got so bad I couldn't garden so I moved.  Now, sadly, they will be someone else's problem.  I did also leave 3 trees and 4 small bags there as well.  Maybe when we move all items/animals should be removed if we leave them behind.  I hope that whoever moves in will be happy to have what I left.

  • I know that I could have gotten a Dev to remove my animals.  Beefcake was good enough to remove them from my house once.  I hate to ask them because there are so many of us now that the Devs could spend most of their time removing animals.  Seems unfair to me so I just couldn't ask.

  • We have a bug open to allow the new homeowner to take control over the Gnome. If you want one removed before it is implemented, just open a case or tell us in game.

  • There's a dimension somewhere, parallel to our universe and that of Ur, and it is filled with odd socks and gnomes.

  • Ok, we now have completed the bug to allow you to move a Gnome you did not purchase but was left behind that is in front of the house. The Gnome would be unowned in this case, you can put it in your inventory to make it yours and then redeploy. :)

  • lol - a universe of Gnomes and odd socks - sounds very Discworld!
    Can we add other things like lost pens, loose change, and the pack of kitchebn roll that I could swear i bought recently but now the old one is finished I can't find anywhere.....
