Fantastic stuff. Now how about word on the item limit for once? The way you avoid the topic is becoming aggravating.

Dunno if this was mentioned, buuuut...

Are there plans to have seasonal event furniture for our houses?

Egg decorations for Hatchingtide.
Trees and presents for the Christmas event.
Scary decorations for Halloween.
etc.

I was wondering if anyone has suggested this before, but can we have the option to purchase a caretaker permit similar to the mender/supplier/junkmonger permit that allows us to place NPC in the house that will leave messages set by the FC to the visiting players whenever they talk to them?

Aside from the race/gender option, we can get to select what they wear and what message they want to pass on, etc. This could make the house much livelier. Of course there will be a limit to how many we can place, like the gardening plot.

glad that we will be able to hang stuff on partitions, but I'd much rather have the option to spread the wallpaper to the partitions. We got so many options in 2.2, and it looks really ghetto when your partitions stick out like a sore thumb if you want to try something new.

That's good, except.... I can't put Merlwyb on every partition in the house because there is not enough item space for that! (please increase the large house item limit)

Great feature though, it will be great not to have empty walls.

Add me to the request for "Ponds for Fish breeding"

Really need a way to remove unwanted guests from your house. Turning off guest access once they're inside does nothing. Now I have a naked level 2 Roegadyn squatter who won't leave until he crashes or maintenance happens.

Can we have something like a stuffed Megladon or something that that be awesome! Or some other fish that you can mount on a wall or something. That would give the fishing class something to do for housing too.

This would help raise money for the company and give reason for people to see the other housing areas and interact with other companies while shopping and searching for deals. Plus it might increase the traffic in empty wards.

I was thinking a little more about this today and realized that if we could sell company goods in a FC vendor stall with groups of items packaged together that would be almost an entirely separate market from the market board.

Having pre-made "synth packs" would be too convenient to have on the market board however, if we made people go to the free companies to get them, the value of such packages would surely generate traffic in the housing areas. What if you're company was known for making complete armor packages for warriors? Or what about companies that liked to farm and generate goods for the cooks? I think this would only compliment the current single item market. It would also attract the same type of people interested in the company for what it produces.

(sorry if mentioned previously)

Partitions with doorways built in. It doesn't have to have a door (though that would be nice), just at least an archway. It would look way better than a gap between partitions that simulates a doorway. :/
