Homestead Size Adjustment
I have the largest homestead size and now I wish I didn't.
It'd be neat if we could adjust our homesteads size as we wished. (similarly to MS2, where you can make it larger/smaller through a menu)
I'd like to have something more cozy again. :')

I think that will create chaos... Having a real estate market in Mabi...
Why? Are you worried about NYC real estate developers? cough cough.
Those and Cali ones.
MS2 has a thing where you can manually lower your house size, and can revert it back anytime.
It would quite literally be Nexon copying it's own homework, and wouldn't be too hard to do again.
I want to once again point out that Nexon is the publisher with different development studios under it to produce games. DevCAT works on Mabi while NSquare does MS2. This is not even getting into the issue that both games uses different engines, and thus, different coding, etc. Just because one game has a feature, it doesn't mean that it can be easily imported into another game (unless they have the same engine to begin with, even then, a lot of work is needed to make it compatible).
I know it irks you, and I'm sorry about that. We're not doing it to bug you, but you're gonna have to learn to live with it.
Spaghetti code or not, there's nothing in the rules that say new code can't be added on top of it.
(Provided the proper research and testing is done beforehand.)
Of course, the only rule that could possibly be against that is the fact that it's spaghetti code. (No one likes it.)
Our only choice would be to wait for Nexon KR to finish detangling all of Mabinogi's spaghetti code enough in order to add onto the Romantic Farm (Homestead) functions. Again, since we're just players who don't know things on their side, all we can do is ask for features or suggest alternatives to our suggestions.
Example of an unrelated developer struggle with spaghetti code.
That's the reality in the software biz. It's a combination of several things: team leads not keeping a lid on it, coders being lazy, coders thinking it means job security (it never does), and companies terminating folks in spite of it (since the next poor all-your-base-are-terds-to-us is being paid to deal with it).
Look, you're clearly not getting the joke here. Let me explain it.
"To copy one's own homework," indicates that there will be multiple changes so that the result is unrecognizable to anyone but the copier.
Nexon KR's current problem they've constantly been tackling, is detangling the spaghetti code left behind by Devcat.
If they were to copy and paste code directly from MS2's House feature into Mabinogi, then yes... nothing would work due to incompatibility.
However, they can take a glimpse at how the Resize UI works, and make the necessary modifications themselves.
That is, if a resize feature is what they desire to implement.
Maybe the KR community doesn't need it, and it could be on the back burner for a while.
They could instead decide upon an item that can completely reset the level of a homestead, rather than adjust the size at will.
You never know until a GM stream.
Whoa, I think your debate is with the other fella not me. If you're saying that a feature exists in another game and is owned by Nexon so that they can copy it over, without intellectual property concerns or the need to develop from scratch, as a first step to bring it into the game followed by steps to make it copacetic to how Mabinogi is coded, I not only think you're right, I'm sure they would do precisely that. That second part may be a massive undertaking though, but it's just work. If the bottom-liners find it feasible enough to put it in the company budget then it'll be: go with throttle up. If they don't, they won't. Gee Willickers!
