i was missioning with another player today and we went to her "apartment''. Is there really a place where players can buy there own space and customize how there space looks?

There's nothing even similiar in the game.
#11700000573 06/19/2006 14:16:36 Re: HOUSES?
No. Since we don't live in the Matrix, there's really no point in buying a house and fixing it up all nice and whatnot.

hmmmm thats weird the person i was talking to said it was her apartment she must have been joking around
#11700000575 06/19/2006 17:53:25 Re: HOUSES?
She was probably role-playing. My "apartment" is near the Midian Park West hardline. I actually finally saw it as a mission area just a few months ago for the first time.

Well, some of the redpills certainly consider the Matrix their second home (or just their home) and go there whenever possible. Having an apartment there wouldn't be that nonsensical.
However, this game simply doesn't have this feature, and that's that SMILEY

   The closest thing to having your own place in the setting of the Matrix universe is having your own base.  In the missions we see that the organizations have numerous resources in the city.  Redpill Extraction Points, bases, safehouses, listening posts, labs, etc.  Though I agree with Zeroone that having an apartment isn't too nonsensical, especially in the post-Revolutions era.


   But as people have said, there's currently no feature in the game that allows you to officially take over a building or room.

she must have been talking about a safehouse. i have very little knowledge of the game so yeah :smileytongue:
#11700000582 06/22/2006 20:53:03 Re: HOUSES?
It would be a cool feature to have though.  We could open up a
Suburbs district that is unrestrictive where players can use their
infos to buy lots to build their houses or apartments on.  Eh one
of my friend plays The Sim Online, so sue me lol. 

#11700000585 06/23/2006 03:52:15 Re: HOUSES?
To buy houses for individual use won't be that useful. What should be cool is to buy bases for factions and crews.

Anyway, I don't think the game engine allows any way of customization of the maps. The textures of the neibhoods are stored in a single file, and allowing customization will require a big change to the game engine, which I don't think the devs want to introduce, and have time/resources to do it.

Couldn't one simply make some of the houses in Mannsdale Housing Projects available for purchase?

Not the houses themselves, but copy the models?

Meh, I think it would be cool for Mervs such as myself, but Zion could get...uhm...caves or something?

And machines would look tight in their toasters SMILEY

We are going to get org meeting areas through the doors in the white hallway. This must be the devs way of giving us an area of our own so ideas like this probably won't happen.

............Many people, Roleplayers espiecally, claim houses as their own....-shrugs- It's not really theirs and they didnt customize it.

Speaking of Role Playing "houses"... I'd love if there were more little area's like that. I really love the big server hook ups and such in the mission area, the kind that make it look alot like a computer store? I wish some of those were accessible without needing a mission area.

I can't speak for all skyscrapers or, particularly, Kalt towers, but the Government Building has such a free floor, maybe more than one.
#11700000633 07/07/2006 08:12:49 Re: HOUSES?
The government building has a lot of open floors. You just have to keep hitting that darned elevator button. But I encourage you to explore Thee Mega City. You will find places you wouldn't even think existed.
AAAIIIEEE! Sig no workie!

i agree this would be a fun feature until someone turned it into a war

"oh yea so i bought like 42 houses yesterday now i have more influence over the city then you muahahahah"

"you want to fight bout that"

"lets go b***h" etc etc

it would be gang wars all over the city drive by lol
