Currently if you wish to buy a plot, you have to be without plot. As such, for existing plot owners who wishes to move/upgrade, they are required to sell their own plot first. Obviously we all do the same thing first. Take everything out of storage, decon each building before selling the plot before we buy our new plot.

However, when you have done that and you go to your new plot to buy it and discover that although it was still for sale prior to you deconning and no not anymore, it is not just really frustrating, but heartbreaking.

Is it not possible to alter the plot buying rules in the following way:
- Existing plot owners who wishes to move/upgrade, can buy their new plot whilst having their existing plot. When they have bought their new plot a “timer” will start.

- The timer will run on their old plot – which will “decay” whilst the timer is running. The timer will be of a set amount of time (don`t see a need longer than 24 hours)

-The timer will allow the plot owner to empty his existing storage and decon/sell his old plot with no fear of losing the new one.
- The timer stops when the plot is sold.

- In the event that the timer ran out prior to the plot being sold again, then it is automatically “reclaimed” without notice to the community and put up for sale. (with the potential loss of items, novians, plot value).

With this change plot owners who are moving/upgrading, would not be left exposed in having deconned your plot, sold it back and then noticing that whilst you did this, the new plot was sold, leaving you without a plot and loss of resources due to the decon you did. This was something which a fellow player/friend unfortunately experienced.
