Everquest 2 launched on Nov. 8th 2004 had instanced housing that was purchasable by everyone and anyone. it launched with multiple types of homes from small 1 room apartments to massive houses ... all instanced

yet this game made by a much larger company can't do that. it makes no sense

instanced housing takes nothing from the game, the only people that would be upset over instanced housing would be those that like the exclusivity of having a home and the ability to hold that over those that do not have a home.
