An addition to the keyring, if it returns.

Just brainstorming here, after reading the post where someone had a lot of stuff swiped from their home:
www.glitch.com/forum/genera...

I love the SDB's, because it makes me feel more comfortable having people over to my house. I'd like to be able to take it a step further though, and was thinking it'd be nice if we could lock the doors to a floor in our homes.

For example, let's assume I have three levels in my home. If I want, I can lock the top floor, give no one a key, and have that be my "private" floor. I can then lock the door to the second floor and give a few close friends that key, and leave stuff I wouldn't want general public to grab there. The bottom floor I could leave "open", and then give keys to anyone and everyone, and leave stuff like extra food, etc. there and be able to come home and enjoy any changes friends make / leave / take.

Maybe two keys is overkill, considering we have our own public street. But it also could be a basis for adding new "locksmith" skills. Extra tiers add extra available house keys, ability to make floor keys as I described above, and could open up all new gameplay options. I'm thinking locked chests, either random spawned or player-created for whatever reason and uses they come up with. Maybe the ability to make a "random" key, like the alchemy potion does. And many more ideas I'm sure others could come up with.

So please fellow glitches, I welcome your replies and thoughts on this idea. With enough input, this idea could be fleshed out to provide home security, while also opening new open world gameplay possibilities!

  • This would be awesome.
    Its sad but real you can not trust a virtual "friend"
    Can TS track the thief by logs (i think?) if so help would be nice.
    Privacy my behind , no one has to know , people can just be deleted ....
    Theft means ban 4 life, it would die out,people will not risk losing a char for some stuff nicking.If they do any way i would love to be the one press "DELETE"...
    Now TS give you full self responsibility so we should have the "tools" to protect your stuff.
    Even inside our house ,like in real life !
    Maybe even guns for them trespassers ? (of course i am joking but that's because i looks like NO one that's this problems serious...heads in the sand while people get robbed is a good way to promote crime :((( ...sad but true.. )
    Freedom does only exist if OUR rights are protected by rules ..or it would be anarchy !!!

  • The problem will always be that that the cooler the stuff is that we have, the more we want to show it off.  The SDBs are locked display cases.  as such, they are awesome!  and the only real way to go, until there is more furniture like them that can hold items and show them off simultaneously.
