Hmm i tries to report a suggestion on the mantis thing, i hope i did it right

il repeate it here just incase,

how about more prepayment options for inn rooms and cottages?
i know sometimes rl calls people away (like on vacation) or they forget to pay rent for awhile (guilty here)

so to have an option to pay for more IG time at once would be helpful, like to pay for 4 IG months (1 RL month) at a time, heck if i could ild prepay for a IG year at a time.

You can prepay for as long as you wish. You have to go through the menu choices again. Each month prepaid stacks upon the others. It's a little awkward going through the menus over and over, but it only takes a few minutes and you only have to do it once in several months.

Yeah i know but there are times when i prepay for 2-3 rl months (i know im not he only one that does this) at a time and it gets really repeatitive to have to go in each time and hit...

1, i would like to talk about my inn rooms...

2, I would like to prepay rent...

3, room number #.... (gods forbid having two inn rooms at the same inn)

go back to step one and repeat 30 times

where as i thought if they add a step 4, prepay rent for ...
1months(rl week) ...2months(2rl week) ...4months(rl month) ....8months(rl 2 months) ect

it could save people some hassle

Yes it's a hassle, but I wrote it that way to be sure that all variables and tokens in the conversation were properly reset to their now-current values. If anyone decides to muck with the code and implement your suggestion, they need to be careful to be sure that it does so properly without returning to the top of the conversation.

Thank you for noticing this particular feature which no other CoPaP world has, and thank you for your high praise of its existence.

ideas are not insults to existing ideas, gang. ...lets not squelch ideas even if the answer is "no" or.. "it's not possible because of.. XYZ."


Thanks! :mrgreen:
