new to the game with a few questions

They don't make additions as often as pve stuff, but the pvp is pretty good, they do plan to do something else with Wolves Den later on which will hopefully reignite activity there. Frontlines pvp has some moderate activity now in Borderland Ruins, with a second Frontlines map to be added when the expansion launches.

If you're part of a FC which has its own house, you can buy a private room there. You can't do everything that you'd be able to do with your own house (like gardening) but you can decorate it, and you can also stable/train your chocobo at a FC house.
