Lack Of Parking Spots?
 
It's so hard to find a parking spot.


Moar plz.





yes, i actually went around and took 15 photos.

Aldaris 03-29-2009 12:10 AM

I agree; I also find the "10 minute" parking pretty pointless.

Elizabeth 03-29-2009 12:11 AM

agreed. i can see it being used at the hospital, but no wheres else.

Crow 03-29-2009 12:25 AM

I suggest limiting each account to only one or two cars (was planned before) and I suppose towing cars which have been parked in the same spot for a week should be towed aswell (excluding parking garages and house garages).

This is true, but that's an awfully far walk to get to your car.

To add; in most cases, it takes longer to get to your car than it takes to get to your actual destination.

that's why i think a server with cars should have a BIG gmap.

Elizabeth 03-29-2009 12:52 AM

i'm all for a big gmap

Andre2006 03-29-2009 01:12 AM

Oh I'm sorry elizabeth, I think I purchased 20 cars out of the store a while back and parked them arround era, but I'm not sure if they deleted some of my cars :P

Crono 03-29-2009 01:27 AM

I like the fact that there seems to be a shortage of parking spaces, makes the server seem less vacant and gives it a more realistic city feel. Check SR for parking places.

well, with a big map you have to find out a way to use it.......
but yeah, i understand what you mean.

Why are all the cars the same speed? I mean the deathstar car is just as fast as the cheerful speedster but the deathstar is more expensive. Also add more variety to cars like the batmobile and motocycles those were supposed to be finished along time ago.

CharlieM 03-29-2009 02:25 AM

Demisis made a lot of cars that never got used.

I know the command is not available to non-global staff, but I towed a car of someone who hadn't been on ANY server, not even login, for nearly 200 days when I used /global find Account. (Perhaps it'd be nice if there were a local command for all server RC's to show the last time the Account of interest was last on THAT server)

I towed that car and freed up a space. I did that again for about 3 other cars, but it was because when I grabbed them, I KNEW those players had not been online for a very long time, so I checked their last activity.

I'm not sure, but isn't there some "last activity" something in the text files in the account folder?

As far as I am aware, Era doesn't utilise the accounts/* folder. Stefan disabled it many years ago. Either way, I just checked the accounts/* folder on my own server and it doesn't show anything regarding last login or activity.

CharlieM 03-29-2009 05:13 PM

Well someones trying to make room, My car got towed from my hotel rooms parking space

go write a letter to your city, complaining about parking spots, and see how many new ones they make regarding your letter. :)

fragman85 03-29-2009 05:47 PM

Elizabeth stop talking like you own a car irl or something, you actually have no idea.

You tend to say stuff, even tho you don't know if it's actually true, hoping the other person won't check. (gramatical, grammatical, *cough*)

Frankie 03-29-2009 06:33 PM

parking spots on Era in no way relate to parking spots in a big city. parking spots irl are constantly being used and going vacant. the parking spots on Era are used long term. it's not like people are parking in front of the hospital so they can go in and heal and then come back and drive away. they leave their car there until they need it no matter where on the gmap they are.

DuBsTeRmAn 03-29-2009 06:49 PM

Why not just make ALL parking places a max parking time of 7 days? If someone is inactive and didn't move his car in 7 days it gets towed?

I'll write up Barack right away.



Since it's nonsensical for people to permanently park in the streets (unless outside a residence), forcing people to park in Garages long term would be a better solution (and actually having a price tag for it)


Add parking meters to the streets

if i own a car or not, i know that there's a lack of parking spots? jesus, stop trolling me.

we've been through this. i searched it on google, and it didn't correct me. don't be such an idiot.

Shotoo2 03-30-2009 03:10 AM

Tow more cars, take more cash out of the economy.

TheMaestro 03-30-2009 05:51 PM

I'd park a car somewhere just because I know that I took up a space.
