Hey! Wish the recent new house templates, I'm once again reminded of an awful issue with the way furniture is stored.

* SORTING FURNITURE IS MISERABLE. We should be able to sort our furniture into folders so my inventory isn't full of literally hundreds of confusing items.

* Get rid of the furniture cap! I don't know why it exists, but for something who has hundreds and hundreds of pieces of furniture, this becomes especially frustrating especially since we do not have folders to sort furniture into.

I would love to get input from staff on this It's something that has bugged me for a long time.  

The furniture cap is just another gimmick getting people to buy VIP.

As for sorting furniture, I would love to see them in different categorized folders.  

Maybe sorting it into different types of furnish beds, chairs, tables, etc.)

Yeah the furniture cap is stupid, just another stupid "VIP benefit"  

i dont even use my house

From what we've previously discussed in related threads *cough* there is a furniture cap because it was arbitrarily worked into the system early on in development. It functions in strange ways due to messy code, and would be chaos to change (we're talking people losing furniture objects that they paid cash money for).

Furniture is currently searchable. You can type "Bed" in the search bar (top right of furniture inventory window) and you get a list of all furniture items with 'bed' in the title. This is handy for many 'sorting' techniques, such as writing in "fen", hitting search, and all your fences are there. It's faster than just scrolling through, and it lets you grab furniture of various types without having to go through a folder. For example, you can write in 'cry' and all the 'crypt' furniture from club crypt will appear. MUCH more effective than putting them in folders sorted by 'type' because you can select a whole set of objects to fit the style need of whatever you're building.  

I like the idea of categorizing furniture, pretty sure the cap was made to make VIP more worth it/avoid server lags

Doesn't work for translated furniture, Idk who's doing the translation but it's really not that hard. @ the end when I search Buch(Book) it doesn't show me any books, means I can't search the german word / if I don't know the english word and it's not translated to german I've to search it manual, thats why categorizing furniture would help out a lot.

I think translation is automated.For example the guild called "House" when i look it up in in the search section it comes up by "Maison" which means house in french, i have to click on it to make the real guild name appear.  

Furniture cap was implemented by Stefan for reasons unknown and we've been hesitant to raise it due to not knowing the effect it could have. Furniture isn't stored in some efficient matter, so we've experimented with raising it(it was like 40 before wasn't it? Now it's 100, but you know we just want your money -_-) but we don't know the sort of lag raising it a lot for every player could mean.

Also players complained VIP had poor incentive so we thought it was a nice bonus.  

It was like 16 at one point as I recall :/
