Found one of my old journal entries on the old 1.0 lodestone back in 2012 talking about 2.0 and the future of linkshell housing and my idea on it.
Version 2.0 and the housing concept.
I dreamed big but not big enough in SE's mind lol. xD those prices are dirt cheap compared to what we pay now. The housing system is far from anything like how I pictured it to be lol.. But it is an instanced community area with some NPC's. They also did add the repair NPC, and material NPC, and can open up our house to public/keep it closed to FC. Ah well.. I guess I was kidding myself to make housing and HQ's easier on everyone to obtain. The reality turned out it would be more fun to limit things and make it hard to obtain for the majority in 2.0 xD
