How about two houses per account and generative AI
Think about it, most of the shards have less and less IDOCs, thats because theres less and less houses around. What we need is to expand to two houses pr account instead of just one. This would enable us to fill more houses with items of epical value and power, that will one day fall IDOCs.
I am pretty sure if you buildt a decent IDOC system where the players are able to get some fun event at a random place with some rewards aswell it would attract alot of new/returning players. What you should do is to use generative AI and delete houses that are empty IDOCs, so that people dont have to wait for hours for a house that is empty and disappointing to fall. You could even use AI to fill houses with various epical items of value and power. Add some cool story with a famous pirate or whatever that lived there with his treasures. From 27years of history the game is rich with items common or rare that are available and its upto the script to check how many of that particular item that exist already in the gameworld, then add a house with a few of the less common/rare/uber rare items.
Some years(decade) ago devs used a simulator to check how many houses there were room for on a given shard, starting with the biggest houses down to the smallest. Time to further develop this house-placing-simulator and add a item-placing-generator aswell.
Imagine the fun!
Imagine the success!
For Atlantic shard that is already full of houses, the solution would be - delete Atlantic.
Such a simulator script would only be interesting on the non-atlantic shards and it would promote character transfer between shards.
Together we make the game greater!
