Suggestion for Improvement: Temporary Visa Arrangement

[Akimotokun]

I would like to come up with an suggestion that may improve the relations between nations (regions)!
How often as a regular player (or VIP, Architect etc.) have you come across a "big project" and would love to get help?
Often, right?

How often do you wish that some people could get temp visa for your region so they could help you flatten the ground or make new flooring? Often.

So my suggestion is this; Give players the option to hand out temporary visa (lasts 1h, then needs to be re-newed etc.).
If not regular players, at least architects or in general trustworthy players that are actively contributing to the servers.

Yeah I was thinking something along the same lines as sometimes when im online late night
no admin or mod or RM is online, and there are some regular players at that time, they try to help each other out, but being powerless, and no1 can help them at the time being, they have to wait a while before someone can help them.
Any way to mend this?

I dont think its a good idea to give that power to new players. But maybe add a new rank for trusted players?

EDIT:

I just realized world guard might not support that. I think everyone who could give out visas would have to be listed as the owner of a region. And owners can add/remove members for the region. It may not work.

You are correct Michael. We have been in discussion about improving this system for quite a while and will likely test a different method at release.

it all comes down to plugins and permisssions. so yea both are not up to what we would like to see but we learn to deal with what we can.

Maybe one day I can hire my own personal slave army!~ That reminds me, I need to build myself a throne.

Would it be possible to have RM's be able to add people to regions that are not their own?

No, it has to do with world guard. An RM is only the owner of thier own region. Ex: KKing is owner of downtown. He can add and remove members from downtown but he cant modify other regions unless he is set as an owner. However, multiple owners can be set to a region. Moderators are owners of all regions.

We COULD set all of the RMs up as owners of ALL regions, but then we have to worry about accounting and maintenance (who added who to what region and why), and it leans toward defeating the purpose of having the RM positions at all since Moderators already have this ability.

The modularized approach to the land claim system was not only to help spread the work-load a bit thinner (making it quicker for noobs to get building) but also to promote a bit of region-loyalty and patriotism. We have big plans for the future of the server, and a lot of it is going to be based on these notions.
