Do you think this farming island feature will take over where housing left off?

I mean, we've all been asking for instanced housing forever, and since they can't add more without making the server buckle, it seems like 2 birds 1 stone with this island thing where your minions can run around.

No, because it would make sense to offer instanced housing here. So no, SE won't do it.

we still dont know the details about the island... dont believe rumours and wishes of players what may or may not be on the island

Uh, no “we” have not. I hope Island Sanctuary is a fun new hobby to do, but it should not replace or supplant housing.

I fear the island will be much like WoWs garrisons. If you're hoping for housing it'll probably be a pale shadow of it.

Hopefully I'm wrong.

I'm hoping the Island will have some sort of aesthetic customization to it. Like a small cabin that you can change the outside, and the inside is just the equivalent of an apartment (or a Cottage). It's been confirmed that you grow crops and animals there so different styles of coops and barns, or at least fences...

...the cabin may be a long-shot, I'd love something like it but surely SE will say something like "server limitations"

It would be nice if it allowed for at least gardening and crossbreeding, and a workshop like the ones in FCs would be a very good extra to have, but I really doubt it will be related to anything housing. Best to assume it will be its own thing.

We know so little about it but no I don't think it will have anything remotely connected to housing.

Should start bugging them to let us build houses on the moon... >.> lol
