Will there be purchasable homes or guildhalls?
The way I see it, it wouldn't be hard to fit in different purchasable houses in various cities, where people could move in and decorate.

Ofcourse, not everyone buying different houses like in the game Tibia, just different owners on the same address... maybe 10 different houses of types and sizes, for each faction in different locations.

As far as I know, not at launch. Entirely possible to see them after launch if enough people want them.

I would say you'll definitely see them after launch in some kind of update. I can't think of a blockbuster MMO that hasn't had player housing.

Its just not in at release, as the person above me already said.

I forget where, but it has been mentioned by a developer that, while not available at launch, they're considering it for an update soon after.

It's almost esential in my opinion.. I loved owning homes in TES and also loved how it played in MMOs like EQ2.

Okay thanks for the really quick answers, I appreciate it.

Just as a followup question, do you think there should be houses? As Defiler said, it won't be a priority unless enough players want them...

Feel free to discuss various options/possibilities, what you should be able to do with it etc. I mean, get a family?
Display all your legendary items?
Invite friends and guildmates?
Make all the items immovable for everyone except yourself?
Grant access to move stuff to people whom you trust etc..?
