My absence and return - thoughts on demolished houses

[Geryth]

so you understand why they need to demolish houses, and you're still complaining?

instanced housing? thats literally what people DON'T want in a housing system.. people want actual plots, actual space, and an actual neighbourhood. many other games have fully instanced housing and those feel like a single player housing simulator rather than housing in an mmo. ffxiv has 1 of the better mmo housing system.

secondly, housing is luxury, something you never need in the game, and something that only 10% of players have, while like 80% of players want, theres a huge demand for them.. as someone waiting to buy a house, i can't wait to see plots get demolished lol..

I would take instanced housing over a "neighborhood" any day, especially if that was the only way to get permanent housing. How often do you see neighbors? Converse with them? Have them over for dinner, perhaps?

Please, I walked through many housing wards just this week to see what was available and what houses look like these days, I hardly saw a soul in any single one of them, despite every single house being occupied. I walked up to fully occupied apartment and there were zero people at the summoning bell and market board outside.

Instanced housing would hardly be any lonelier than the ward/district model.
