Possibly A Returning Player - A Few Questions

[SwashBuccaneer]

Great info! Thanks, guys!

Lots of things to try to sort through since I've been gone since the first month. I thought it was a solid game but felt kinda grindy and was getting bored with the constant FATES zerging to level additional classes. Plus the endgame wasn't really fleshed out, but I see so many things have been added via the massive update notes.

I know you guys had said that there's only FC (guild) housing available atm and that 2.3 added the ability to buy personal chambers in the FC Estate--Is there plans to add actual individual character housing and what happens if you join a FC and buy your chamber but you wind up parting ways with the FC?

Sorry for all the questions. I just keep thinking about new stuff I'm wanting to know more about as I read more.

Personal Housing and Rooms question

Yes, personal housing is planned to be implemented but it won't be until "around Patch 2.38" according to Yoshi-P. (Basically about 3-4 months from now, right before Patch 2.4 comes out.) They chose to do personal rooms first to make sure that the servers could handle the additional strain of having more instanced zones and the like. That said, it's possible they may delay it. Although I'm certain they want to be able to have personal housing implemented when they do the in-game marriage system that's planned in 2.4.

Private Chambers are currently set up where you can only leave an FC if you "vacate" those chambers. Basically, you have to remove all your furnishings from it and then delete the room before you can quit the FC. You currently cannot be kicked or otherwise removed from an FC if you have private chambers (although this will be changing in the near future.)

Yoshi-P has been promising individual housing for a while now, but it keeps being postponed. For now, it's in the works, but no clear time has been stated.

Currently, if you own a private chamber in the FC, they can't kick you out. If you leave voluntarily, you have to empty it of your furniture and you lose the money you put in it. Once the next patch or 2 hits, guildmasters will have the option to kick players out despite private chambers (furniture appears in your inventory/retainer/where ever).
