What would be the drawbacks of opening our FC to players that want a Private Room without the hassle or complications of FC's? Speaking towards the "lone Wolf" player here. We have a 4 man FC and have been chatting about doing this and am looking for other opinions here. We ofcourse would limit these "squatter" members to the bare bones access within the FC but they would atleast get access to having their own Private Room.
Thoughts here?
EDIT: Apparently the term Squatter has negative applications (yes I live in a bubble) and was suggested to use the term Boarding House which I feel is much better. Please disregard the squatter term...

Your house your rules, just make sure you're careful about the elements you invite in (kick system in 2.35 will help this) otherwise i don't really see anything wrong with it if it's what you'd like to do.

I see a lot of players complain about not having access to their own private place to decorate and what not, seems greedy to me to have this whole house to ourselves. Might be interesting to be crafting at the house and have "random" people coming in and out without knowing (or really caring maybe) who they are... could be interesting?

As Ryel stated, the biggest concern is someone you don't want associated with you getting in for a room. Remember that these people will be running around with your FC tag on the server. If they decide to troll/insult/bother other players, it will be associated to your FC.

We're supposed to be getting private houses at around 2.38 so I would hold off a while.

If you can run people through some sort of screening process like they are applying for the guild then it could work and I think is a good idea.

No harm really besides it being a Gil sink even if you wait for private housing.

Too bad the system didn't display your FC rank... Other players would see they are just a squatter although that would mean the entire server actually know what the hell that meant. Oh well, guess your responses answered our question. Try to do something nice and be prepared for Trollville right...

@Elven: I agree BUT I also realize this is a MMO and being such I feel they did a fantastic job offering a diverse world experience to accommodate solo and group play. There are many times I just want to be alone. I go craft, harvest, run leves or simply mess up our FC house (which in under one month, myself and one other member created our FC - reached rank 6 and bought/filled our FC house)
Your comment is what brought up the idea in the first place. We wanted to give players on Midgard the same access FC's have (through ours) for private housing without having to give up their right to remain a Solo player. was the intention anyways but just thinking of trolls giving our FC a bad name left me leaning more toward not doing this... -

Just using the term "squatters" would draw riff-raff as "squatters" implies someone inhabiting an abandoned property illegally. Not the type you would want hanging around. Maybe a boarding house would be a better term.

Personally I wouldn't take your offer and spend 300k just for you to call me a squatter.

Difference of semantics, no harm meant. I do like Boarding House though. Great Suggestion!
