Maybe they're not fixing dwell as a trial balloon to see how much people miss it

Just a thought.

Kinda odd that it would be out for so long.

Well I find it particularly annoying just when I gave Barnesworth like an hour of dwell by hunting Easter eggs on his furniture dwell and just when I opened a new mall and had all these people fly over. Waaah. That's no fair.

I still think they ought to re-do the dwell system so it is just merely a normal pool of points on each avatar. When he goes to a place, he puts a point on that lot over time, 1 for one hour, 2 for two hours, whatever. I wish it worked more like TSO. Everybody is so worried that it will be "gamed" but it already is gamed the way it is now. It should have a way of not allowing alts to dwell out a lot, I suppose, and have a way of shuttning off if people park an av that then goes AFK "away".

Dwell is so much fun. You will never get me "off" dwell. I love each and every dwell point dearly. I have like 1500 dwell in a week in one rental group and it distributes out to all the tenants and it makes me happy. To be sure, this same system dings us for FIND PLACES that leaves them short of a point now and then and then the only way to flush money back into the group is to sell myself a fake 16M square for $100 or something LOL. But it's fun! It's just...fun! I love dwell! Bring it back!
