Apartments need Rent

[Almagnus1]

I only piped in because somewhere along the line, Almagnus started talking about gil sinks. Either way, this is unappealing and lacks finesse.

And if all the houses (and apartments) had rent on them... it would make it significantly more difficult for someone to hoard houses and making it difficult for people in addition to bleeding some gil from the economy. The goal here isn't to drain Lake Powell by blowing up the dam... but to provide another way to redirect some water from the Colorado so that Lake Powell doesn't over flow... akin to having a series of luxury hotels in the area that are consuming the water from the lake and pumping the water out to a nearby city. The problem with MMO economies, however, is that they do not work like the real world one because they are all about currency creation and destruction, with the economy retaining some of the currency and that cycling amongst the playerbase.

But back to rent, several other MMOs do this, and going by IRL, while you don't have rent on most houses (ignoring the housing payment until the load is paid off) you do have maintenance costs... especially when your AC decides to commit sudoku in the middle of a heat wave! =D **cries in sweat**
