Changelog
Almost 500 new placeables were added to NWN in the last update, of which there were several hundred that I felt would make good furniture options for player housing. But the current process we have to add new furniture choices is very cumbersome for players to find them, and time consuming for me to add. As a result, there is going to be a significant change to how furniture items can be purchased.
More details follow below, but the most significant change is old furniture items will no longer work to *create* furniture in a player-owned building after November 8. As a result, please make sure that if you have purchased a furniture item, you place it in your building *before* November 8. You will be able to sell it at any point, however.
The Details -
A furniture catalog is going to replace the process of finding a furniture merchant and buying a furniture item from that merchant. A PC can purchase a catalog, and then browse through the 38 categories of furniture in it, getting a list of furniture showing the name and price. Entering the number of an item from this list will instantly deliver (take that Amazon) the furniture item to your PC.
This should making the buying process MUCH easier for all players with buildings. Plus, furniture ordered from one of these catalogs will have the option to be returned at full price, if returned before the server resets - so it's no risk buying for people to at least see what a furniture item looks like before truly committing to it. As an added bonus, we're increasing the number of furniture/decorations you can purchase from 510, spread across dozens of furniture merchants, to 1073 all conveniently available from the furniture catalog.
To accommodate this change, on November 8 the server will go down for some time as I will need to make database updates to ensure all existing furniture in buildings are properly updated to work with this new process. I will also be spot-checking various buildings after these changes to ensure that player furniture placed in them is still properly replaced on every server reset. So if you do have a building you'd like me to check after this migration on the 8th to verify its furniture was properly recreated once the server is spun up again, post or PM me its name and/or location.
Again, after this migration old furniture items will no longer work, so place them somewhere in your building beforehand if you want to keep them - or you can always sell them.
