Automated UCP Property Requesting


Property Management are very excited to announce the introduction of the new UCP property requesting system!

 

This new system changes how properties are applied for significantly. As many of you who have applied for properties in the past or are aware of the process know, applications have been traditionally placed on the forums. Property Management would get round to each when they could with a written review and a price for each property, and the player would then have to make a payment and send us proof of the payment in order to get their new property setup. Generally this is a fairly lengthy process, as you would typically have to wait around a week to get a response, then upon payment wait for the property to be created in-game.

 

Our new UCP-based system introduces an easy, automated (and potentially never done before on any other server) way of requesting properties. This application process has been designed to be as easy as possible for players. You simply fill out all the details of what you want, and enter the coordinates of the entrance provided by the in-game /coords command. No more uploading/editing screenshots to make a request.

 

Once you’re happy with all the details and press submit, it gets sent off to Property Management for review. If we accept your application, you will then be able to press a button on the UCP to pay for your property. You no longer need to have an admin set it up for you - it’ll spawn in-game within 60 seconds automatically.

 

As applications are now private to the requester only, we will be trialing a new response method where we reply with an initial price offer only, removing the explanation of why the property is priced the way it has been. This will allow us to greatly reduce the delay in between handling each request - and combined with the reduced workload due to many steps becoming automated - allow us to distribute properties a lot faster. As a side effect of this, requesting properties privately greatly removes the potential for players to metagame the location of your requested properties, meaning illegal factions can apply for properties to facilitate their roleplay with less need to worry they’ll be discovered by LEOs/rival groups.

 

At launch, you will be able to request properties and apply for lease businesses on the UCP. Interior changes, smart teleports, and other “smaller” requests are not supported on the UCP yet but are planned to be added in the coming weeks. Following this announcement, we will be closing General Requests for standard properties on the forums as you will now request them on the UCP. 

 

You can submit a new request here.

So after hours interiors will be available in "coming weeks" as well i assume? 

 

Other than that great system, even though I personally kinda liked the old one, this one is really easy and straight forward, good job.

It's requestable now, but there's no guarantee of it being accepted.

So it's possible to request an interior change through "request a property"?

Not yet - it's due in the future. That'll stay on the forums until we get it uploaded to the UCP.
