Estate tags in 4.4!

[not_ya_wify]

As a decorator, I am super thrilled about tags and I know the people on my decorating Facebook groups love them too. The only worry I have is that the tags will be overused. I can see people just using tags just because and not because they actually have something cool to offer.

The Tag for designer house would be amazing if only used by people who are seriously committed to decorating. That way it would be much easier to find designer houses on your server just by looking through the wards from the city aetherite.

However, I can also see people overusing that tag. Like every person who fills their house with seizure-inducing primal furniture and heavy metal music would use that tag. Or people use that tag if they want to tag but don’t know what else to tag. That would completely defeat the purpose.

Similarly, a lot of decorators have requested a message book tag to find houses with books on the map. This would help people find houses with message books to write in because that usually leads to the other person reciprocating and checking out the decorator’s house.

As for some of the tags, I think they could find more fitting tags. Very few people actually have an aquarium-themed house even if they use several fish tanks, so yeah, something like meditation/recreation/wellness/spa would be nice. There are a lot of forest or spa-themed houses.

Also surprised they didn’t add libraries, galleries, and museums seeing that there are tons of libraries and art galleries out there.

Not sure what an emporium is.

I like sanctum as many people have churches and shrines. I even have a Lakshmi temple. Although I don’t think the ring icon fits a temple or shrine.

Rather than just designer house, I’d like tags that tell us the style of the house like: modern, goth, Hingan, beach house, creature-themed, etc.

I have no doubt that there will be people who will mark their house inaccurately for the lulz haha. Hopefully not too many though; I do love roaming around and checking what other people have going on in their houses, and this tag system makes it easier to know which houses are worth having a look. I had no idea there was a demand for a Message Book tag! It makes a lot more sense that that's there now.

What do you think the Venue tag is saying? The icon doesn't give us much to interpret, but my best guess is that it's for "cosplay houses" maybe? Houses that are modeled around other structures/places, like say for example, this Shinra mansion that someone recreated.

I think Sanctum is supposed to be like a church/chapel (Sanctum of the Twelve, wedding ring).

Sanctum is pretty clearly a designation for a wedding chapel.

That seems to be the case. I'm more surprised that it's popular enough to warrant is own tag that I had to second guess myself if Sanctum might mean something else lol. I haven't seen that many wedding venue type houses myself, but maybe it's a different story elsewhere.

Some will no doubt. Many more will mark their houses inaccurately because they do not understand what the markings are supposed to indicate.
