Apartment destructibility

Apartments may be destroyed in the following circumstances:[1]

  • If their building was destroyed during a node siege, even if the siege was not successful.[2][1]
  • If the mayor decides to destroy apartment buildings all items and layouts will be mailed to the owner.[3]

Real estate

Players buy the deeds for housing from the node itself, or may buy and sell properties from other players.[4][5][6][7][8]

  • The developers are considering an auction-based method for listing new properties that become available for purchase when a node advances.[9] Currently freeholds may be acquired via auction.[10][11][12][13][14][15]
    • A grace period will occur before the housing becomes available for auction.[9]
    • Bids will then be accepted starting at a minimum reserve value that is based on the number of citizens in that node.[9]
    • At the end of the auction, the highest bidder will win the house.[9]
  • Housing will have a base price that scales with the number of citizens in the node.[16]
    • There is no cap on the price of player-originated housing sales.[17]
    • In-node housing will be at a premium, and is expected to be hotly contested.[8]
    • The more apartments that have been purchased in a node, the higher the price scales.[18]
We're establishing a real estate market that players can invest in and then sell within the in-game economy, but also they are a resource that's subject to removal through the sieging system as well, so there's a bit of risk implied there but the idea is that this is something for players to strive for.[20]Steven Sharif
  • Housing ownership can default back to the node if the owner fails to pay their property taxes. A balance and penalties will be charged to the new purchaser of the home in the manner of a "foreclosure process".[16]
  • Players will not be able to exceed their allotment of housing in the game.[26]
