My friend has a res and we would like to be close to each other to save time, we've noticed a residence next to his that has hardly anything on it and the person who owns it has not been on for 55 days, and the res # is 12787. If you could reset the res and the owner it would be much appreciated. Thank you very muchAssassinJJ
There is a 'forceclaim' ability. You can take any residence for 5,000 rupees so long as the owner has not been on for 30 days, is not a supporter, and has not voted recently.
You can go on the residence and type /res force claim [res #] if you have an open residence and 5000r. Staff do not do this service anymore.
You can force claim the residence for 5,000r, I am not sure if the staff will actually reset it for you now.
