[Suggestion] Inviting players to your house

[CaptainDog]

Basically:

1. Right click / X and "Invite to Estate Hall (Private / FC)".
   You pay the teleport fee, and the invitee gets a prompt like when a party member teleports.
2. Invitee hits Yes/Wait/No.
   If they hit Yes, they teleport straight to your doorstep.

Because right now, we have to:

1. Tell the invitee the ward and plot number, or ward and nearest housing aetheryte destination name (more realistic).
2. Invitee has to teleport to the main city.
3. Invitee has to find and open up the housing teleport menu.
4. Invitee has to pick out the right ward.
5. Invitee has to walk to the mini-aetheryte and pick out the right destination.
6. Invitee has to check the map to see where the actual house is.

All this is a hassle for the invitee (who may not even be familiar with wards and stuff), so we just default to meeting up at city aetherytes. But with an invite feature, "Come meet me at my house" would be a convenient and personal alternative.

I like this idea, although it requires a mini aetheryte on your plot. I think it would be nice if there were just an option to carry people to Aetherytes they would otherwise be unable to access as long as they're in your party. For example I choose my private house Aetheryte, if I am in a party, a prompt comes up "invite party members on this trip? Additional Cost ???" and you can accept or not.

Definitely second this idea. A great many things need to be adjusted regarding private housing, but this is the first big step in the right direction. My job as a crafter offering services is a nightmare when people want me to meet at their house or their FC house, or even just hang out with all the friends I've made in doing so. So I'd also offer the suggestion to extend this to FC housing as well.

[PapaSteel]

Agreed completely. As of now, Housing is in an unfinished state of development, and the base problems need to be addressed before we just have the team throw more furniture at us instead.

[KinnisonArc]

That's a good suggestion, if it gets implemented I can then pay a small fee to kidnap someone into my house.

[Brynhilde]

Yes! This is a wonderful idea.

then the next step would be for them to tune to your mini aetheryte (only if your on friends list of course) so that i can actually have people come on their own whim.
