[ Suggestion ] Group lock signs

I remember from a while ago in the old mob arena, there were access signs with @staff on them.

Now since lock signs are limited to yourself and two others, maybe we can do like @friends, or in the future @empire.

Maybe we could have the same thing for access signs

EDIT: Also, depending on the size of the "group", you can get charged for multiple lock signs

This already works for res group access signs....

I see where you're going. Having a sign with #friends or @friends opens up the chest for people on your friends list. You can make residence group named "friends" and put your close friends in it but what about an access sign for everyone on your friends list?

It is possible to do with residence group access signs, however, those have its limitations, as a diamond supporter I think you're limited to 50 people in one permission group. As a regular you're limited to 5 and so on... What if you have more than 50 people on your friends list when you're diamond (I do know people that do)? It would also be such a hassle to add each of your friends into a residence permission group.

Hm i think i get your main point, +1 ^-^

Then you'd make multiple groups and add those. There is a limit of course, but because you can specify 3 groups on a single sign you can effectively add 150 players (assuming you can only have 50 players per group, I think it was around 30 though). Yups: looked it up; a maximum of 30 players per group for diamond.

Better yet: if you use a double chest then you can use 2 signs, which can both grant access to three groups. So then you'd be looking at giving access to 180 players at once.

Although there is a limit I still think 180 players should be more than enough for most

Giving access to res group is all great for residences in town where you can use access/restrict signs in conjunction with res-groups, but what about in the wild or wastes? I'd like a way to lock a chest our there so that more than three (or six) people can access it. It seems like the suggested #friends or @friends (or similar) might work... but there's probably some kind of complication I'm overlooking.
