2. An instanced area that's limited to just one house and one garden. A system that expands on the private chamber one. Have it so players on someone's friend list, or players in the current party/alliance can visit it.
Tell that to SE a couple years back. This is what many thought we were getting with personal housing. Instead we ended up with this extremely limited mess.
