Are we getting houses?

[Psion]

Even if SE bought the source code I'm not sure if they can integrate it into their own <_<;

Still, it's most certainly possible. I'd imagine, like in the thread I made, you could have "sections" of walls and the like in the dats, and then the game would just have to remember where they are positioned, so building a house the way you want, wall by wall, your own floorplans, seems possible. Heck, Dark cloud 2 was like this as well, if a bit more limited to buildings and decorations outside, rather than interior decorating. That game is oooold and on PS2, but I remember how much fun I had, especially making my own city.

Ultima Online was the first MMO, it had the system you are speaking of where you built houses wall by wall. But of course it was not a truly 3D game, so transporting the system to a 3D game would be very difficult. The Sims games have a very large staff team dedicated to getting such things functional, and that's only for a single player game. I think it will be a long time before MMO players will be able to make a house wall-by-wall as per The Sims.

As for MMOs, ArcheAge is similar to Star Wars Galaxies in that it allows you to build prefabricated houses anywhere in the persistent game world. I'm not sure if it lets you decorate the interior as extensively as SWG though. But all in all, i think prefab housing is the most sensible option.

i'd like housing to kinda work like campaign marks, there were ranks, doing more campaign battles got you higher in ranks and if you stoped your rank would start lowering.

for housing something like this, some form of quests that help keep your home, can give it more reward.. maybe space, fansier looks inside, more inventory space, what have you. but it grows with a rank and if u don't keep it up it turns into a battered shack or something.

They should add linkshell housing and in each instanced area you can have your own room and such.. If not give us a housing separately and have the linkshell housing as it's own system.

I do not want just any system, we should have to pay for our linkshell housing.

An example : we need xxxx amount of gil to get the linkshell guild, say 30-100 million (can be less), so everyone in the ls should pitch in.

Linkshell house and it's upgrades should be more expensive than the separate housing.. they were saying no one spent gil, (yoshi P?), this is a way to do it.

There should also be guild options, like who has permission to the bank etc, and so fourth.

Instead of gil it should cost resources. We have lots of crafters and gatherers for a reason.

But then what happens when your Linkshell is broken up? And the leader destroys the shell? you've wasted all that gil in a housing system (its like the real life housing problem now! :P)

i want housing but the thing is...i would like to have chairs.....THAT I CAN ACTUALLY SIT IN! was nice having my MH, each character had a different room. one character a bedroom the other a kitchen yet another with a den..and no chairs.....and no sitting. they DO have sitting areas in 14 ofcourse we've all sat on them. but yes for a crafter to actually be able to make the chairs and such and THEN be able to sit on the in your housing area....a small simple pleasure *dreams*

I only mentioned gil, because if you did not know, there are people whom are sitting on hundreds upon millions of gil already!. They can dump it into linkshell and separate housing system.
