We got lots of housing stuff coming in 2.1
380 parts in 2.1 and wanting to add about 50 more every patch.
You can see the housing video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z_15TJde09E
Some info I translated regarding housing on things the devs wants to do (I'll replace this with official translated one later)
Rep Post 10/02/13 Things devs wants to add for housing in the future
JP side has a thread talking about what kinds of stuff they want to see inside housing.
Now... What kind of things do you and your FC, friends want to see?Quote:

I like all of these ideas. Maybe tie in the growing plants with botany?

The two mmos that I think did housing the best, from the past, are DAOC and EQ2. I liked the feel of hanging trophies for folks to see and having a "shop" that was usable by all. I also liked expansion based items like portals that could be placed in the housing.

Have they mentioned if housing personal and Free Company will be in all city states?
Last I read it was only going to be released (for 2.1) in Limsa. T_T -

Frequent "Community Events"{or dev run} in the general housing district for all to participate in, otherwise it'll just be another lifeless zone devoid of players. {Examples that I recall: LOTRO and DAoC}
As great as that sounds, that'll never happen. However, keep an eye on Stardew Valley, the ultimate in Harvest Moon style indie games. Still in dev though and looking better every update!Quote:

Uh.. here is a you know what I mean if you know statement.
"I hope the houses look about the right size on the outside that they are from the inside". (just ignore me if you have no idea lol)
Unedited stream of thought of wants XD:
Ponds, gardens (both planted and potted), greenhouses, trees, garage, extensive house modules that change interior and exterior (say placing a patio, shop front, or garage example), extended patio, howels moving castle door (portal to fixed locations ideally to the three cities), crafting centers, personal chests and magitek autosorters, magitek themes in general.. ima hire cid to decorate my house bye bye gil
you know.. stuff ;P
I'd ultimately like to see an almost if not actual city like creation (not just one house, or even just "houses") but eh.. that'd be something unlikely - only thing that makes me weary of adding too large of housing is that of course you need reason for players doing that. Likely in the way of crafting airships and other big things- would suck to not be able to do that if you didn't have the FC rich enough for the housing size (cant take part in a content because you cant get the money to buy the "Large" house to fit the airship gantry or something). I could imagine a player doing some sort of phased collaboration with NPCs to gain these features in a new city or just through GC.. but meh long ways away if at all.
Edit: didnt say yay but yay for the announced features thus far :) -

It would be cool if they did something like a banquet but incorporated crafting into it for the FC house, maybe like Once-a-day instances where you could use people of all different aspects of DoH to create a feast that gave you some kind of temporary boost along the lines of FC boosts for credits. Because let's face it, we can't spend our credits fast enough the way they are.
Incorporate the use of Credits to make small, medium or large size banquets (depending on FC size) as a one-off instance that everyone can participate in.
Example: Medium-size feast 11-30 FC members. Make a large roast that will give the FC increased food length for up to 2 hours. How well your FC performs it's various tasks determines whether or not you get the full bonus.
Alchemist: synthesizes the wine
Weaver: Origami napkins
Culinarist: obvious ;)
Carpenter: Carve wooden plates and bowls
Goldsmith: create utensils, option to upgrade carpenter's plates to China
Blacksmith: stokes the oven to keep the temperature right for the Culinarist
Armorer: meh...think of something :D
Leatherworker: tan hides to make placesettings
Just thinking off the top of my head while trying to leave work, but you get the idea. Something like this would be awesome, I think. It would take us away from the constant grind for a few minutes and give us the opportunity to converse with each other outside the setting of the game. And it could incorporate everything we already do without having to add new features in the forms of our crafters to accompany it.
