Player Run Companies: What do we want to see?

[Vesperia]

I don't believe company run housing would make the cities any more or less useful, except perhaps the shops. If you believe the Cities would be useless entirely because less people are standing in it, I don't believe your issue is with company housing, but the game itself instead.

Now, if someone were able to succeed where I failed and manage to get Ul'dah to chat in a friendly manner on a regular basis, it would be a different story altogether. But as is, options never hurt.

Since when did MMOs become entrance-lobbies to instanced content?

What is wrong with everyone?

Give us persistent player-housing with an actual incentive or don't bother. Putting it in the game as a frivolous, instanced, town-simluator will be meaningless. Meaningless fluff. Nobody will use it, and even if they did use it, then that itself will be a problem simply because it takes people away from the MMO and puts them into their own partitioned-off instances (which is an affront to the fundamental definition of an MMO). People should always be in the same persistent game-world.

Besides, if you want people in Uldah to chat with you, then how about saying something interesting?
