[Suggestion] Housing Showrooms

[Sotek]

Simple suggestion;

Add some Houses which are purely display models and cannot be owned by players, but unlike real display models, we can interact with them. Take some furniture in, see what it looks like, etc. We keep the furniture, we can put it down, move it around, and still trade it afterwards.

This would allow people to play around a bit with Houses before being able to afford them (this seemed to be a major complaint), and also give the furniture market a bit more utility now, rather than several months down the line when people might need the stuff.

I'd at the very least like a means to see just how large each size of house is from the inside and out (I know there is currently the outline when looking at the plots). A small house seems extremely cramped but maybe it's larger on the inside due to video game magic.

Someone can probably scale the size of a small house based on the furniture we saw in the trailer and one of the previous Live Letters where they were running around a large house. I don't think we've actually seen a medium size house at all, though...

There really is a difference between seeing something in a video, and actually running around it yourself in game though, at least in my opinion. It really shouldn't be too difficult to at least let us run around some houses, letting us preview furniture would probably require a significant amount of extra work however. Heck, they could just make an event out of it, have the Community Reps show up on a server, buy up a plot with GM powers and add furniture, then let people run around their houses for a bit, remove them and move onto the next server. Christmas at Bayohnes' anyone?
