Mog House: Functions.

[Seraphita]

GOD YES! BRING BACK THE MOG HOUSE!

This was one of the great defining attributes of FFXI. I believe that it would create alot of diversity to the market and ecomomy adding in items that are crafted by DoH.

I loved building a house of my own and i spent alot of time in FFXI customizing it over and over all the time.
Bring it back Yoshi! You know you want to!

How about adding doh factilities, linkshell's purchase basic/intermediate and advanced facilities (possibly run by a moogle?) in which guild members can pay to use at a discounted rate?

I would like to see some upgradable housing. Starting with something small akin to what we had in FFXI, then either building on what we have or purchasing new property with additional rooms, additional floors, a garden, etc...

Copy+pasted from my company thread ^^

Company Housing

For Private Companies I would also like Company Housing. This would be our HQ I guess, a communal house where we would have access to various features. A few things I would like in this house would be the following:

...

I'd like to see a task board added to that too. Somewhere players can post requests for crafters to make items they require and leave the materials for it. Kind of like player created regional guildleves.

I would prefer something more like Archeage, where the house actually exists in the open world.

The only issue with homes existing in the world as it is would mean they need enough "Realestate" for people to place homes, and also make the wilderness are far less "Wild" place. The game as it is now wouldn't have enough room to accomadate realworld player housing.

Having it as an instance solves alot of possible problems with server load and whatnot as well. Ultima Online is the only game I have played that had open world housing and it only worked because they made massive and empty maps just for people o slam houses down on. The world felt more like a patchwork city than it did a wilderness to explore.

I don't get on much Playstation Home but I like how their community, housing feature works.
How you can place any object almost anywhere in your house (no grid like FFXI), you can have/buy different types of housing you want.

And having a group housing and also being able to get/buy different types of building for that + all group members were able to contribute furniture to decorate the group housing. Only reason I don't get into PS Home is there is nothing like MMORPG to fight mobs and stuff... its like second life? just going around chatting... how the hell is that fun? I do like their mini events/maps for new games and stuff... and how you can play mini games right away.

i like all the ideas, hopefully they bring back the moghouse, add the company housing too. and i'd also like to see an instance area to get to the moghouse where everyone can go to. perhaps have trophy statues like warhammer in it. or let company's take turns (maybe thew rewards) in being able to decorate it and change it from maybe music to how it looks.

or maybe as time goes by that hole zone needs repairing and cleaning like a real town, and all the crafters can fix it or it it will start looking broken down.

defenetly would like to see furniture again in this game, was my favorite thing as a woodworker since no other mmo' has this that i've played. its different and fun for all.

SE really needs to pull that "we have to be different every FF game mentallty" it just ruined them so far.
they need to re-use alot of stuff from ffxi and introduce differently. MOG house should be a instance like it was but you can see the out side of your house park your chocobo there and train it, do additions to your house for status effects and storage space.

I don't mind if they make the single player systems unique for every game; however in an MMO there are some basic general things that are more or less required. Trying to reinvent the wheel doesn't seem to work here.

Guild housing in itself is a strange subject if it was implemented I really wonder how it would work, hopefully it comes with a community "Chest" where we can deposit materials for the crafters. make being a DoL alot easier.

In a recent interview that Reinheart was kind enough to translate for us, they actually mention this. They state that they realize that the game is missing basic fundamentals, and that they're working on introducing them. As to when, I don't know. Probably going to see a lot more stuff being added once the battle system updates are finished. That and server issues.

Also, I love the idea of the thread. I also hope they end up implementing player ships, as they mentioned they would last year. Again, I think they said they're looking into it, just can't yet. As for Guild Housing, I know EQ2 did this pretty well, as did CoX. The headquarters in CoX were pretty fairly customizable. And you could upgrade it more based on how much fame/notoriety your guild had.

With The Sims being up to version 3 so far, I feel like customizable housing should be a fairly standard concept by now. Maybe not to the same breadth and detail that The Sims goes into, but with enough options that every house doesn't feel like a carbon copy of each other.

Because whether or not you enjoy customizing, there are plenty of people do. And it's an amazingly innocuous time sink. Look at the hair style threads and the amount of customization they'd like to have. Various styles, colors, lengths, highlights...

Between hair, housing and Triple Triad people would hardly have a reason to leave the cities (or the game). Unless it was to get more cards, or to power up those cards.
