Individual players owning Large Houses for personal use. Yay or nay?

[Penthea]

This game is moving more and more towards small man content. LArge FCs are not only drying up, but if anything content is aimed at reducing them. Let's be honest, you can do everything in this game with an FC of 8 people.

Where are you getting this from? This is the first I have ever heard about large fcs drying up. If anything the housing system helps some stay big because if they have a house then members have an easy way to get access to some form of personal housing.

Just because you can do everything with eight people doesn't mean fcs will never feel the need to have more than eight people. Players rarely all play at the same time or for the exact same amount of time. For a fc to be lively 99% of the time eight people is far from enough for that. Most people would consider a fc with eight people to either be in its infancy or dead.

A large house also holds no difference than a small for an FC.

Wrong. While any house can have access to the workshop, only large houses can have the maximum amount of gardening patches, vendors and have every crafting station. Crafting stations may only work up to lvl 50 but I can tell you the fc members in my fc use them.
