Buying and renting property#

Plots of land — homes, shops, farms — are bought and rented with the /realty command. There are a few ways to get one: buy it outright, rent it for a set time, make an offer to the owner, or win it at auction.

Most commands act on the plot you're standing in, so go to the property first. You can also name a region explicitly where a command allows it.

Look before you commit#

/realty info

Standing in a plot, this shows whether it's for sale or rent, the price, and who owns it. Browse what's available with:

/realty search
/realty list                # what you already own or rent

Buy a plot#

If a plot has a sale price, buy it outright:

/realty buy

The price leaves your balance and the plot becomes yours.

Rent a plot#

If a plot is offered for rent, take it for its set period:

/realty rent

Renting lasts a fixed time, then expires. Before it runs out you can extend it (up to the limit the landlord allows):

/realty extend

Done with a plot before the term is up? End the rental early and get a prorated refund for the unused time:

/realty unrent

Make an offer#

Not for sale at a fixed price? Propose your own to the owner:

/realty offer send 50000

Then track and complete it:

/realty offer outbox        # offers you've made
/realty offer pay 50000     # pay toward an accepted offer
/realty offer withdraw      # take an offer back

If you're the owner, incoming offers show up in your inbox:

/realty offer inbox
/realty offer accept Steve
/realty offer reject Steve

Bid at auction#

Some plots are sold by auction. Check it, then bid:

/realty auction info
/realty auction bid 12000

If you win, pay what you bid:

/realty auction paybid 12000

Let an agent run sales for you#

Selling a freehold and want help? Invite an agent — a player you authorise to run auctions and handle offers on your behalf:

/realty agent invite Steve

Steve accepts with /realty agent invite accept. Remove one with /realty agent remove Steve. An agent only manages your auctions and offers — they aren't added to the plot and can't build on it or change its settings.

Property tax#

If you own freehold plots, the government charges a daily property tax that scales with how many plots you hold — the more you own, the steeper it gets. On the current server config the tax stays at $0 for your first couple of plots, so small holdings are effectively untaxed. That threshold isn't a fixed rule, though — it's a configurable server setting, so the exact number of "free" plots can change over time. The tax is deducted automatically each day and goes to the government, so factor it into how much land you keep.
