Personal Homes

It is possible.

So why not try? Have the buildings in the same locations for every gamer on the map once you pay to open the door, the doorway becomes the portal inside the same as any dungeon or instance.

You purchase the deed to the house, that attunes you to that property. You can have people come visit by group invites.

The Homes if not in-game could be a save/safe state that allows you to play off the HD...maybe? To help keep the servers from overloading.

Guild Mansions/ Faction Houses

You join a guild/faction and then you are attuned. I think it would appeal to more gamers if they did do guild halls, that were modifiable. A place like in the homes in skyrim. Racks to purchase for placing weapons made instead of a bank. Allowing personal trading. Even setting a price of gold to be exchanged for the weapon on the racks...if the player is not on when you are.

They said why, it's 'too hard'

Especially when they can charge extra or add it on forcing the addicts to subscribe for more

EQ2 did it, SWG did it hugely, LoTRO did it, ArcheAge will do it in a grand way.


SO yeah, that's utter rubbish it can be done if you want, you don't even NEED much instancing, just instance some piece of land/city set aside for buildings. Another scratch in the paint.

Once we get to beta test, I'm sure the players will be able to convince them this is possible, one way or another. Sometimes, player influence is for the worse, but I'm sure we won't be unheard.

Actually we won't. If it's not in the plans at this stage we will not see it. Closer to release and beta no matter how we shout there will be other game breaking bugs and mistakes that will take all the dev time.

Sadly it seems I won't be playing this game, the name alone makes me want to....but from what I've seen ugh I just can't.

As mentioned, the only way to implement player housing in an MMO is to make houses separate instances outside the game world. Which kind of ruins it, because you can't go around visiting (or maybe stealing from...) someone else's house if everyone's abode is shuttered off in a separate dimension of time and space.
