Ok, it is official.

Vo has released the specifics on how to reserve when towns are released.

Read the announcement.
http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10661490

Basically, you will chose to reserve somehow, and the other 5 plots in the area you place your home will be reserved for people on your friend list for a certain amount of time. Edit: 24 hours.

The reservation time can only be extended once.
Edit: Meaning when we do this, we only have 48 hours to do so!

The only way we can make this work is to pick 8 people to be in charge of the separate areas, and for each of the 8 to have 5 other members on their friendlist. These 8 people will all swoop down on different areas in the zip code of choice, and together, will choose to reserve the areas before anyone else has a chance to come in.

After that has been done, we will have a limited time for the friends of these people to move in, and claim the areas before the reservation runs out. So we need to get organized FIRST!

What we need:

- 48 people willing to move into the zip code.
- Out of these 48, we need 8 people willing to add 5 members of the guild to their friends list, and reserve an area for them.

We can do this!

If not the whole zip, We should try to claim as much of one as possible with as many interested members as we can gather.

Who wants to do this?

Sign up here!

Just post saying you want to do this, and if you will add 5 members to your friendlist or not. After that, we can organize who is adding who, and the move out to take over the zip we decide.

I was going to look into reservation a little later. I was going to see if I could place first then reserve the areas around me. That way we could get the zip number we were hoping for. Currently, when you reserve, it puts you in the next available area, you have no control over the number.

It is free to get a house, the permit is free, but reserving costs 1000 gold.

Well if we have any hopes of actually claiming an area within the 48 hour time limit, we need time to gather the troops. Since in any 48 hour time period, we wouldn't have enough people visit the guild to be able to fill 2 areas, let alone a whole zip.

We need to set an official date so we can all have a deadline, and a day we know we are supposed to do this, until then, we organize and gather people together.

It would also be good to not take any actions until they have worked the kinks out of towns, since I too am having trouble placing a home to see if I can reserve after in stead of before.

I expect there to be Aeka, Gambino, and Durem towns in the future, we can shoot for one of those since barton seems to be filling up. Theres not many zips without anyone in them, and there are only 4 with 37 in them at the moment. Since i can't place at all, i don't know if they are reserved, or if its just being buggy.

Ok, I managed to test it, and it's official.

You cannot place a home and reserve the area around it.

This means that all reservations are random, and it will be impossible to get 2 next to eachother, or to get one with 37 in it or anything else we would like.

This is a real buzzkill.

It looks like we may have to wait until guild towns are released as an official feature. No telling how long that could be.
