The Housing problem and my proposed solution

[Kosmos992k]

While most of those are decent suggestions... holy crap, no. We do not need to be asking SE to charge even more on top of their sub. The added monthly fee thing is one of the most disgusting practices they've introduced. Just think about how much that will cumulatively cost you one year, two years, or more from now. Let's not bring this into housing, please.

I completely support subscription as the basisfor paying forthe game. However, I also realize that as long as an additional service is purely cosmetic, it doesn't impact thegame negatively. The premium house I am referring to offers no functionality above or beyond the regular homes. It would purely be a way of upgrading to what is effectively a detached home with a higher limit on the number of furnishings. Purely cosmetic, and totally optional, to me that is an acceptable way to generate additional revenue with very minimal impact on players ingeneral.

By the way, how is having a service such as I describe any different to the different tiers of subscription and the number of characters available? You are essentially saying subscriptions are bad, which I am sure isn't what you mean.
