Summary:

There is a problem with the currently proposed estate building mechanics. Since linking parcels is restricted by the presence of an upgraded lodge, it is quite expensive to link parcels with very little benefit for doing so. This can be fixed by linking the estate size limit to a parcel’s Aaltar level rather than Lodge level.

End goal and benefits:

Estate building is a great opportunity to create a fun meta-game of building a large estate and help users see the value of a parcel as more than just its alchemica-harvesting potential. The goal of this sigprop is to help realize this future for potential land-holders.

Potential risks or negative consequences:

This proposal would decrease the demand for Lodges and make estates easier to create. It would probably increase the demand for higher-level aaltars.

Alternative paths:

There are two approaches to solving this problem:

#1 increase the benefit of estates #2 decrease the cost of creating estates

Since Coderdan clarified things like sharing installations between estate parcels would require significant development, those in the forum mostly agreed that the best solution for now is to lower the cost of creating an estate. However there were a couple other ideas which gained support in the poll: Making estates visible on the mini-map, and adding an outgoing teleportation radius to estates. These can be discussed and proposed in a separate proposal if desired.
