Players and Clans may buy customizable rooms in CoffeeMUD, informally known as property. There are multiple property types and several ways to acquire them.

Property Types

Property can come in the form of real estate, with a number of variations, or ships. For real estate, the following types of property are available:

• Rental Property - A room or set of rooms that is paid for on a mud-monthly payment system that draws from the character's bank account.
• Single Room Property - A single, non-expandable room that can be modified.
• Multi-room Property - A fixed set of rooms for sale as a unit.
• Expandable Room Property - A single expandable room that can be modified. Once modified, all adjacent unoccupied directions will spawn a new room for sale of the same type as the modified room.
• Expandable Lot Property - A single expandable room that can be modified. Once modified, all adjacent unoccupied directions will spawn a new room that is owned by the player of the same type as the modified room. Expandable lots have a limit to how many rooms come with the lot, and once that limit is reached, no further rooms will spawn.
• Area Property - An entire area of rooms owned by one player.
• Sailing Ships - A special mobile area of one or more rooms that can move around water rooms if the water is deep enough. The sailing ship can be attacked by enemy ships and will sink if it takes too much damage. See SHIPS for more information.

Acquiring Property

Unowned property is acquired through a real-estate or sailing ship vendor. When the property is purchased, the vendor will provide the owner with a deed of ownership (often called a title), which will list the name of the room, area, or ship purchased. In the case of a ship purchase, the vendor will request the name of the ship, which will then appear at the closest port.

If the vendor is designated a clan vendor, then the purchasing of property must be done by a clan official with the permissions of Property Owner. When the property is purchased, it will then be owned by the clan, with anyone in the clan having permission to GET items from the property without them being flagged as stolen goods. Only clan Property Owners (or someone in their group) can modify the property, though.

Clan ships will only respawn after a reboot after the original clan Property Owner who purchased the ship logs in. If your clan ship hasn't respawned, ask an Archon for ASSIST to reload the ship.

Property owned by a player or clan can be sold or traded to other players or other clans, respectively. Player property cannot become clan property, and clan property cannot become player property. To trade property, the appropriate owner must GIVE the title (or a copy of the title) of the property to the new owner. Stolen titles are virtually worthless, and simply GETting a title will not transfer ownership...the title must be GIVEn to transfer ownership.

• Depending on the area's tax laws, owning property may result in an increase in taxes owed. If your tax debt is not paid, a lien will be placed on your property. If the lien exceeds the value of your property, then the property will be returned to the city as payment for your taxes.
• It is not currently known if titles transfer via the AUCTION systems. Please update when this information is confirmed.

Property Dealer Locations

The table below lists locations of known property dealers. The City is the general area and taxing district for the property. The Price is the base price of the property, before Charisma modifiers. It is impossible to get to this price, even with a 1,000,000 Charisma score (you just get very close). The Area column indicates the name of the specific area that the property is located in.
