I'd like them to use the buildings in game for what it's supposed to be there too while they are at it. There's sections that's unavailable in cities I'm pretty sure that's where personal housing goes and then there's places like these that need a function:

Like here's something they don't seem to understand. If they said "hey we're developing a housing system but it'll take 8 months", fantastic. That's 8 months to look forward to a housing system. But if I don't hear anything about what's coming in the next 8 months, I get irritable and feel there's nothing interesting coming. If they could give an answer on if this is something that is being planned and slowly worked on that would be great.
I hope we do get a house, so house haters can stfu. Its not like we want it now, but for FFXI players it feels weird not having a house, its a whole source of extra inventory slots and awesome collectibles to put in there. Sorry some people have no personality, and their house would always look crappy and bare. If not a moghouse I'd like Starwars galaxies shop front system but in a house instead.
Here are a few things I posted in regard to housing through the Company system HERE
Company Housing
For Private Companies I would also like Company Housing. This would be our HQ I guess, a communal house where we would have access to various features. As our Company credits grow in our Private Company account we could use the funds to buy upgrades to our housing. So maybe we start off in a run down building and as we grow we can buy either upgrades to the existing building or a whole new bigger and better building. Then we could add extensions to it like the Chocobo Stable's, Airship landing pad and so on. A few things I would like in this house would be the following:
- A main communal room which we can decorate and also mount trophies from our NM's kills and completed missions/accomplishments.
- A Communal Storage area where I can drop off mats and items which I may not find useful but a crafter in our Company might.
- A Chocobo stables for raising our Chocobo's and looking after them.
- An Airship landing pad for our Airship. Our Airship would be fully upgradable so we can kit it out with new features and perks as we grow as a Company.
- A dock for our boat. Same as the Airship we can fully upgrade it.
- Private quarters that we can decorate and also storage for our gear that we wouldn't put in the communal storage.
- A crafter area that you could kit out with support benches.
- A garden would also be nice too that we could grow things in. It would be great if you could grow things for Botanists to harvest, and maybe even some types of rock plants for Miners to harvest too. Also a pond for the Fishermen/women within the Company.
I love the idea of of player housing + guild housing. I know in Guild Wars 2 (*gasp I used another game for reference!* :X!) they have an entire 1/4th of the city instanced just for your character, and it changes based on the decisions your character has made. They also made it so that you can invite friends into your area if they so choose to. I love the idea of it.
I am still holding out hopes for linkshell house where your LS crafters can craft things to put into it. Similar to how CoH/CoV allowed you to build your own teleporters, id love for LS crafters to be able to build/maintain their LS's air ships.
Jesus, we haven't even heard about mounts yet. There's no reason to think multiple years ahead XD
