Store Wagon
Posted: Mon Jan 27, 2014 4:00 am
I'm amazed this hasn't been suggested already, and maybe it has in which case I apologize, but I checked The Never Page and did a thorough search of the forum and didn't see it.
It'd be cool if you could <store wagon> at stables.
Why stables? Because they sell the wagons so they clearly have the space for it, because that's where you get your horse so its a natural spot for it, and because stables are already storage locations so hopefully that means less code. You can already <stable horse> there and <check> and <retrieve> them, so hopefully making them accept wagons too wouldn't be too hard.
It could be a flat rate for an empty wagon (like horses are a flat rate), or it could be weight-based like banks. I'd prefer the latter since sometimes when RL strikes all you have time for is to run to the stable. That and if I'm paying for storage one way or the other, by either running my things to the bank or leaving them in the wagon, I'd like to not make an unnecessary trip. Once horses get tack and saddlebags, I could see them charging an additional weight fee on top of stabling your horse (like they charge a healing fee) to handle your tack too.
And I wouldn't worry about there being a sudden decline in wagon theft, for those worried about that sort of thing. People already don't stable their horses.
