Solofication of an MMO is to be avoided at all costs because that makes a social game feel very RPGish... and there's already enough of that in the MSQ for new players that we don't need to add to it.

    You may want to check https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/sp...woken/housing/, AFAIK housing didn't exist in 1.0, and I would doubt SE would stick to 1.0 server code as SE basically rewrote FFXIV from the ground up going by what was said in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRZ_4H0OK60.

    It's still as close as WoW got to it and people did exactly that with the garrisons.
