Dear Sir or Madam,
I would kindly like to request a reset of the Home Location for player Oelbachkind in the Wayfarer Community, as I have moved and will no longer be living at the current location.
Thank you very much for your help, and here’s to continued great gameplay.
Sincerely,
Oelbachkind
Hello and Welcome,
Home Locations is not meant to be changed, Staff may reset it as a 1 off.
It might not be the best idea for you depending on how far you have moved.
The reviews you get from Home Location is wide so if you have moved a relatively short distance then you will still receive the reviews.
If you have moved further afield your old home location will still be a good place to review as you will still be OK with the local customs etc. In this case I would move your Bonus Location to your new address.
Good Luck
I would not suggest moving your bonus to your new address. You actually have 3 review locations not just 2. The third is automatically set to your most recent play area and so you will always review things near your current location.
I have personally noticed that I have received very few within a few miles of my Regular Play Area. Out of over 15k reviews I have seen about a dozen at most whilst many new wayspots have been created. That’s in about 2 years.
Could be just coincidence that I haven’t been Reviewing at that time but if I took a similar area in the next town I would have expected many times that amount.
IMO: If they are not using “Most Recent” or “Regular Play” locations to restrict reviews I think they are missing a trick. I could see that reducing “review rings” and “Will accept just as it’s handy for me”.
Just a personal observation and others (or everybody else’s) experience may differ.
That’s weird. Any time I go on holiday, my reviews switch to a combination of Scotland (home) and wherever the heck I am.
I also get reviews from the London area where I used to live, so it’s working perfectly.
Maybe there just aren’t that many subs where you live (other than your own, of course!)?
Your local play review area is a box of nine S2 cells at level 6. This covers an area about 150miles out from your location so “local” is relative.
As stated, this is just my general observations, I have not recorded everything.
I would say that the "Hardly anything is about a 4 mile radius. I seem to get the normal amounts 5+ miles so even very similar areas on the other side of town.
When I started with Wayfarer I did update the whole town in PogoMap so it was obvious when new wayspots where appearing in places that I had already completed.
Strange but agree, probably just coincidence.
Hey @Oelbachkind ,
I have reset your Hometown as a goodwill gesture. You should now be able to set it to a location of your choice.
Best,
