It would be an awesome idea, just the underlying problem is the availability of housing to begin with.Quote:

What is really happening to house system?

Also to recode a "legacy" code there are plenty of tools to help with that, I wound't say convert the legacy code to a new one but these tools can recreate on a new language and if needed the programmer just make some fine adjustments.Quote:

I wish they would go into more detail about a lot of things about housing. I think a big step forward would be decoupling the workshop and gardens from the fc houses only. IMO it only serves to encourage house hoarding to farm these materials.
Why not make an instanced "ironworks workshop" in mor dhona or an instanced garden plot area in greatloam growery? I feel like there are many possibilities that they aren't thinking about. And if they are thinking about these things, why not share it with the playerbase? Unless you can crossbreed in island sanctuary but they have been so tight lipped about that it's strange. -

Convincing them that a new system will give them something better when they'd be losing something they've owned for several years would be a hard sell. It's the type of change that tends to lose a company a substantial amount of business even from those not directly affected.Quote:

That would keep some demand in place for ward housing even if instanced housing design copied the ward design.
