It needs to be in the open world or it should not be in the game at all.

Ultima Online was one of the oldest MMOs ever made and it had persistent player housing.

I HATE instanced content for partying and more active things, but I think for housing it would be the only way we could get what we want - the ability to build, customize and grow.
I'm not an "instance-everything!" freak. >.>
