A Comparison of EU Apartments

Any1 know why rocktropia flats got to get 400 item points? Or just the typical ND move, to phuck up the balance?

Reason why I ask is that one day I will need a flat for an armor museum, got 25 complete sets atm and I guess you see my problem :)

 

Correct first time

 

In the past, on Calypso the 'hallway' entrance on apartments used to count as part of the main item count not as a 'display' or "additional area". I'm not sure exactly when they made the change but remember it was pretty frustrating when it happened because I was filling lots of hallways in front of my apartments back then. I think it happened around the time that Medusa Head opened, or a little earlier. One trick to "work around" that issue was to put stuff on the inside and make it stick out the wall on the other side where the hallway was so that it still counted towards indoor item count. Tomtebloss was great for this as were a few other pieces of furniture. Unfortunately that trick doesn't work so great on exterior balconies since the items on indoor side of wall can't be seen except for a half a second on the outdoor side before they disappear from view as the rendering engine comes to see your avatar as outdoors instead of indoors. I've never owned an apartment with a 'roof' area but imagine it has the same limitations as balconies.

 

At one point in time Auktuma had ALL of his shopkeepers in the apartment he owns in Omegaton. That's actually one of the reasons I bought over there before I had to sell off the estates earlier this year... it was amazing seeing that many sk's in an apartment...

Tricky part about sks is they blow 6 item slots and give you back 20 inside of them... so for most display areas like booths, which only have 10 unless they are upgraded, you can only fit 1 sk...

same goes for most 'window' display areas outside of apartment shops, etc. as most only have 10 and MA has said both the display areas and booths cannot be upgraded (even though a few here and there slipped through the cracks before they put that limitation down)

 

I think your apartment in Medusa is awesome Jamira. Thanks for sharing the photos of it. Your 3D models really give me an idea of what the apartments are like inside. Very nice indeed...

 

oh wow thats really cool. ie the design and the 3d pdf's and the unity web player thing for the old caly aps.

 

So question to RAZER... did a real life Calypso appartment block ever happen?

 

I was always interested in something like this - if I ever got an apartment, I really never knew what the size of all the different types were - +rep!
