Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Nalien]

Final Fantasy XI had a feature in which you could "freeze" plants while they were growing, to have them double up as decorations. They'd stop growing and they wouldn't wither, you could even do this when they were ready to harvest and had that nice glow to them.

I would like this feature. You know, for when I'm done growing hundreds of Blood Peppers and those garden plots go back to just being empty space...

EDIT:

Improving on the existing Display Stand furniture, could we have a version which we can interact with? I very much want to have a "trophy room" sort of thing, and minions/mounts are a perfect way to implement that. Interact with the Display Stand, it pops up the minion/mount guide, and you can select a minion/mount to be displayed on it. Perfect.

I'd still want actual trophies, like those miniatures we have for Magitek/Odin/etc., you really need to expand that to include all Primals and notable bosses (Fenrir/Diabolos/etc.), but having the Display Stand showcasing minions/mounts would be really neat.

A few ideas that may have been brought up already:

- I'd like to see a few 'mirror' items. Both the sort that stand upright and those that can be placed upon a wall. They don't necessarily need to have an advanced reflection system but that would be pretty neat!

- Small water fountains/features. The sort that can be placed on the floor and the sort that can protrude from a wall. A lot of the fountains available right now are pretty huge - so having some smaller options for when space is tight would be pretty neat.

- Garlean furniture items. Perhaps one of those alarums that can be found in Castrum Meridianum/Keeper of the Lake (complete with the neat sound effect) and some inactive magitek reapers?

It would be nice to change the style of the door that leads to the company workshop. My FC is holding off on applying wallpaper to our home just because nothing seems to really match the door outside of the riviera wall. I'd also like a way to have multiple floor styles across the same floor, my FC has split the top floor into two smaller floors via partitions and it'd be great if I could have multiple styles to account for that.

I'm wondering what our Heros do, when they are wake up at night and are missing something important in the house.

I don't know what you are talking about, what are we missing? D:

Can we please have outdoor recipes for gourmets?
It would be great to be able to have breakfast out in the garden, or to put up a bowl full of seeds for the little birdies
Just have some snacks on the garden table of the FC for when some members get home late at night, or having a set of sake cups to enjoy the cherry blossoms with, and so on.

It would also help to let Gourmets participate more in housing. Currently, they have WAY less recipes than any other class on that topic.

Here a couple ideas I had, not sure if they have been suggested so far:

- add a "Skywatcher" NPC to the housing areas
- make interior walls dyeable
- add this amazing tree/lamp (that is currently used in the Heavensturn event) to outdoor furnishings:

Can we have it show on the sign outside of the house when a plot will become available? Have it only pop up maybe 3-5days prior to the house being reclaimed. Also, make it so that it is the server time the house has left, not real life time (since this would be subject to change due to maintenance or an outage).

So for recap, 3-5days prior to a house being reclaimed, have it show on the sign outside of that plot, the time left (server wise) until it is reclaimed.

ok so we now have a moogle house glamor.... now I demand a carbuncle house glamor...

Since we already have laundry pole, laundry basket would be nice to have for outside furniture.

I already wrote it once I think but can we private house owner please get the same functions as a FC house? At least let us buy more rooms. I really love my small mist house but there are so many nice housing items that a small one is not enough. We pay the same price but at the same time we cant even buy more rooms. Maybe make it 500k for each room and maybe limit the amount of rooms (would be nice if there is no limit ) but this would give us more space for decoration. You could even make it that house mates could buy their own too.

Since the private housing is not much different than the fc one, this should be not that complicated. I know that there will be arguments like "server space" but since you can already do that with a fc house I cant really see that since any house can be bought by a fc, so their servers should be able to handle this.
