The Anti-list
From YPPedia
(Redirected from Anti-list)
The "Anti-list" is a list of requested game design features which the Ringers have confirmed will probably not be implemented in a future release.
Reasons for Anti-listing
Based on the Developers' comments on why particular ideas will probably not appear in game, some of the reasons are as follows:
Technical
- The server's performance could be adversely impacted
- Code improvements might allow the idea to be implemented e.g. the maximum number of hearties was increased after Lizthegrey optimized the database query
- Substantial infrastructure changes for features which are limited in scope
Download size
- Incremental client updates should be of a manageable size
- Avoid major expansions of existing artwork
Thematic
- Little to no code changes but the idea does not fit into the game world
Philosophical
- The idea runs contrary to the Developers' vision of the game

Housing
Anti-listed for philosophical reasons
- Functional crafting puzzle stations to process commodities
- Mass hearty invite into housing

Anti-listed for technical reasons
- "Anytime" houses that exist all the time
- Configuring housing to allow entering when the owner or roommates are not around
At current, you can configure your housing to allow various groups (hearties, crewmates, flagmates, or anyone) to come in when you are home without knocking - this entry on the Anti-list only refers to allowing pirates who are not your roommates into your house when there is no one else there. Consider how long the scrolling list of shacks could be if everyone decided to have anytime entry enabled.
Throwing a party at your house allows anyone access via the noticeboard for one hour, even if you are not there.
