"House Keys"

Some of us were thinking it would be nice if we could give friends a "key" to our house for when we aren't online, or even when we are so they don't need to knock and wait outside. We would also like our friends to be able to help us tend our crops. Anyone else liking these ideas? Is it a possibility?

  • It's a cool idea!
    But that's where this thread ought to be - the Ideas forum. :P

  • This has been discussed many times and in many ways on the forums.

    When they institute group halls, it will allow a lot of this interaction is in a slightly different way.

  • I have a large herb garden and have a friend with a large crop garden. It would have made some of my crop quests so much easier if I'd been able to use their crop garden a little. Sigh. And yes, house keys that you can give to someone and they can't give away or drop (also that you can revoke at any time in case of a falling out) would be great.

  • I would love this. Friends could then house-sit while you are away so your piggies don't die.

  • +1!

    In a couple of days I'll be gone for a full week. Any tips on how to make it? How to feed my pigs and harvest?

  • Piggies at least you could buy a feeder for, right?

    But agreed, I'd love to be able to swap house keys with friends.

  • Jask, You have to have Remote Herdkeeping to use a feeder and that's a pretty high level skill.

  • Totally agree.. I was thinking about this the other day.

    The ability to live together with close friends.
    My girlfriend and I play this game together, it would be nice if we could save up 25k and get a 50k house where we both have full access.

  • Exactly! It could also be used for parties, depending on how many keys you could give out. I really like the idea!

    But I'd prefer a slightly different way than common keys: I have your key, so you can enter my home. (You have my key, so I can enter yours). If I want you to stop being able to come at home, I just remove your key from my key ring. 

    It prevents asking people to give back the key, and they can't lose the key - you remain in control of the people able to enter your home.

  • I like!... I was wondering about a joint ownership option earlier. I suppose if the door had a guest list and could recognize the other glitches [papers maybe?] as someone who was allowed in... IRL at my apartment complex i paid a fee to get on the lease with my room mate. keys would also be smart, especially if I could OWN MULTIPLE HOUSES :)

  • Last time I checked, you can't interact with somebody else's garden/herb plots.

  • This is planned. Keys won't be normal items though, and from your own key ring you'll be able to revoke keys you have given out to other players.

    Coming from many years of playing MMOGs / MMORPGs, I'm completely staggered at how fluidic the changes in this game come about.

    Breath. Of. Fresh. Air.

  • @Stoot: Wheeeeeennnnnnnnn? *Desperately searches for key ring*

    Ok, not being impatient. Really. I'm not even going to refresh this page in search of a reply. 50 times. In one minute....

  • With you there, Gertie Mack!!

  • I'm curious to know what 'keys won't be a normal item' means. Guess they couldn't be normal items because you wouldn't want someone to be able to 'give' the key to your house to someone else. I hope they don't take up a backpack slot. Stoot - I don't keep my keys in my backpack, I put them in my pocket, thanks! :D

  • I would rather have "permissions" we can set on our houses and get rid of he knocking to be honest. I made the suggestion here on the Ideas Forums:

  • i think if its not a normal item, it wont show up in bags. there might just be an option in menus somewhere to give out or revoke keys (which is in a way similar to permissions as far as you give permission by giving out keys)
    I want them keys noooooooooow toooooooooooooooooooo

  • Awesome. It would be so helpful, especially since my trading partner is never on at the same time I am.

  • Love this idea! Can't wait!
    Posted 14 months ago by Mistress Splank Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I love this idea, but I definately would prefer they were permissions instead. I thought about the permissions thing some time ago. It would be really really nice!
