Can we please just have instanced housing already?

if a game in 2004(everquest 2) can do instance housing ... its downright bullshit that this game cannot. the only people who would be upset with instance housing would be those who think they are special because they have a house and others do not.

and honestly screw those types.

The game does have instanced housing, it's called apartments. Your faux outrage all boils down to it not being "as good" as personal, public housing.

There are people who don't own a house who also don't want an instanced house because it's "not the same".

I’m going to echo the sentiment that the current lack of housing is BS.

If you have the gil, then you should be able to get a house of your own. Anything less than that is, and always will be, unacceptable.

right so they are already in the game so just instance based the rest of player housing. again the only thing this hurts is the "i have house I R special" types.

Please read before making posts like these. SE most certainly CAN and DOES do instanced housing. It's not about not being able to do it. They have chosen the design to be this way.

If you want instanced housing, get an apartment or rent a room in a friend's house or FC.

then this is a terrible design choice and no one should be happy about it.

The entrance hall of the apartment buildings can also be bypassed. You never have to go into the lobby except once to buy the actual apartment after that you can go directly into your apartment from outside the building, do not pass GO, do not collect $200.00.

The benefit is that more people will be around the apartment building, making it more lively. And I know that you can skip the entrance hall, wich is the entire reason why I want that they make the entrance hall part of the map - you are skipping it all the time, wich means nobody will be inside there. By making it part of the map and consolidating the apartment buildings that entrance hall can become a place where you can meet your neighbors and can build a sense of community.

Too bad your opinion is not shared by everyone else.

Japanese players are happy about the housing? Weird. I made a little search on the forum and guess what? There are some complaints about the housing on the japanese forum too.

As others have said, just give apartments access to a rooftop garden, and maybe a balcony that can hold a few outdoor furniture pieces.
