i'd like to see more ways to interact with friends on pixpets. we're all living in a house, so it would be nice to have that house in a neighborhood along with some friends! the idea was inspired from guild systems on other websites. apologies for the formatting because this is a first draft idea list, but i would appreciate community help in making a final draft idea list :)

Neighborhoods

gameplay ideas:
-player can only inhabit one neighborhood at a time
-any house in any neighborhood
-no barrier to changing neighborhood excluding cooldowns
-player must reach account milestone to create a guild (not a paywall)
-user slots, market slots, and other guild improvements can be upgraded by any member.
-upgrades can be removed?? but no refunds
-all neighborhood upgrades in super pixcoins as an spc sink?
-cultivation (plant/pumpkin) boosts. daily cooldown on which houses you can pick so players have to spread interactions around?
-'asking for a cup of sugar' aka an area in the neighborhood where people can ask for help completing recipes via a button on the cooking page. limited to common items

art ideas:
-art isn't required for this idea but it would add a lot to the user experience
-low art impact option; overview of neighborhood using housing market sprites, simple tiled background that can resize for all expansions
-small preplaced graphical improvements can be purchased for lot and/or neighborhood
-an upgrade to the neighborhood where members can send pixpet sprites to sit. like a park. grants no benefits but we only have 15 hoarding spaces tops rn and 150+ pixpet inventory spaces so another thing for them to do would be cool
-players can select a favourite pixpet to sit in front of their housing sprite
-clones of pixpets in other members inventory can come visit in your rooms. purely visual. needs to be graphically different than your pets, can be turned off, will disappear if you place over it
-owner can change ground skins

guild breakdown:
-private forum, post counter off
-private group shop. anyone can post, anyone can buy. pixcoins only.
-no private auctions, that doesn't feel balanced
-no hierarchy other than owner
-ownership limited to one person
-ownership gives no benefits to gameplay, just admin abilities
-starts with 3 slots for other players (4 player limit with owner)

thank you

Groundbreaking ideas as always "neighbour"

All of this looks good to me.
