Template:Freehold placement

Alpha-2 freehold placement.

There'll be a variety of predetermined parcels of land in each node's zone of influence; and once players acquire their freehold permit they'll be able to lay claim to any available parcel in the issuing node's region so- and by region we mean... the total combined territory of a node and all of its vassal nodes. So, if you acquire a freehold permit in the metropolis of a huge region, almost 20% of the map, you'll be able to lay a claim to an available parcel anywhere within that region. So it gives you a lot of freedom if you're able to acquire the permit from a metropolis. – John Collins

Freehold plots require a permit/certificate from the parent Dorp (fase 3) or higher node in order to place the plot.

• Freehold permits are obtained by placing a bid for a predetermined parcel at an auction in the parent node. Obtaining this permit requires the completion of a quest.
  • Citizens and non-citizens can bid on permits.
  • The freehold quest level requirement is 50.
  • Bidding for predetermined parcels of land was not mentioned previously.

You're going to see a little bit of change and this is one of the first ones: that these are predetermined locations that exist around the node or under its vassal structure that you will have the ability to bid on; and to give you a sense there, this allows us to customize a bit of those predetermined parcels, like a Sherwood Forest type of example. – Steven Sharif

• Once a permit is obtained, a freehold plot may be claimed from within predetermined parcels of land in that node's ZOI, including the ZOI of any of its vassal nodes, providing the freehold is not in close proximity to any of the following:
  • Pathing routes (Roadways).
  • Dungeons and other points of interest (POIs) regardless of advancement.
  • Event spawn areas.
  • At least ~150m from other freehold plots.
  • Hard terrain features, such as mountainsides or cliffs.

• Placement of the freehold plot is enabled by using the freehold permit item from the player's inventory to get a top-down view of the parcel of land, then selecting the desired location for the plot.
  • Players can manipulate the orientation of their freehold plot.

It'll basically be an item in your bag; and once you get to your parcel, you claim that piece of land and then once it's claimed you'll be able to use the item to go into top-down view and layout actually exactly where your freehold will go on that parcel of land. You'll have a lot of freedom, so a lot that will be going through looking at your whole area of land you now own claim to and then deciding where the best spot to put your freehold in there would be. – Kory Rice

• The more advanced a node is, the more freeholds can be built within its ZOI.
  • Ample space will be available to place freeholds in the ZOI of a village node.

• Collections of freeholds placed in close proximity are still considered part of their parent node and do not become a separate node, other than via roleplay.
