ARCHIVE: Town Ownership and Transfer
  • Official Ownership:
    Official Ownership is when you rightfully own a town outright as its official owner.
    • Official Ownership is obtained via a Town Transfer Application, a Town Claim Application or by applying for the town yourself via Town/Mayor Application, President Application or an Additional Town Application.
    • The Official Owner will always be the "rightful owner" of a town and will always out-rank other owners on a town.
      • The exception to out-ranking other owners is in the event of a town sale contract being in place for the town, a contract existing between the official owner and the legal owner defining the details of each users ownership is required.
    • The Official Owner may apply for any official town features for the town.
    • The Official Owner has seniority to any other owners on the town except as defined otherwise via a Contract
    • The Official Owner may also claim the town back from a sale if it has been 5+ days since the sale contract was completed and the town has not been transferred via a Town Transfer Application or Town Claim Application
    Legal Ownership:
    • A user has Legal Ownership over a town they have purchased from another user but have not yet transferred to themselves.
    • Legal Ownership allows a user to own the town as their own, they may maintain the town, add and remove owners and members and make any changes to the town region that their agreement or contract permits.
    • Legal Ownership does not grant the right to file for any official town features such as Warps, Heal Signs, PvP Areas etc.
      • The right to file for official town features cannot be granted via a Contract.
      • The only way for a Legal Owner to obtain the right to file official town features is to become Official Owner or have the current Official Owner apply for these features.
    • Legal Owners may not remove the LWC's of the Official Owner of the town.
    • Legal Owners may not remove an Official Owner from the town unless it is part of a contract.
    • Legal Ownership only goes as far to represent a "legal holding" of the town.
      • The Official Owner may claim back the town from the Legal Owner anytime if it has been over 5 days since the contract of sale was completed.
      • To avoid losing your town it is best to transfer Official Ownership via a Town Transfer Application or a Town Claim Application.
    Co-Ownership
    • A co-owner only has the rights granted to them via contact or agreement with the Legal or Official Owner of the town.
    • It is not legal for a co-owner to remove an official or legal owner from the town unless it is part of a contract or agreement.
    • It is extremely important to outline what a co-owner can or cannot do via a contract or screenshot agreement to prevent/settle disputes.
    • Co-owners often have rights or are employed to assist in the running of a town, including removing and adding members, filing LWC's, filing Grief Reports as well as giving zoning permission for the placement of a neighboring town.
    • Residents can be co-owners of a town and only have the permissions to remove and add members to the town. Residents cannot make changes to the owners list of a town.
