I know I posted this in general discussion...I meant it to go here cause I wanted it to maybe get looked at by Yoshida and the devs.
There's a lot of open space in Eorzea...great for SE to designate plots of land to build dynamic player housing. So here's my idea for you Yoshida...I'm sure it got lost in space somewhere when I sent it to you in feedback many moons ago.
Here were some ideas I had:
*Player housing is to involve the monthly lease of a plot of land in Eorzea.
*Every player on the server may see this property!!!
*That lease costs is affected by the influence of the Grand Company in the region and which GC you belong too.
*It may be a home built for yourself or multiple people.
*You may allow or disallow visitors or others to deposit or take stuff from your home.
*You must pay your monthly lease or you'll lose your home. (Don't make the Moogle Evicter come and toss you out, because when he does, so will your goods you've stored in your home be tossed)
*Crafting parts for home and furniture by crafters etc.
*Every home has a market stall for one of your retainers to stand and sell your goods (I envision this as a booth with a window that opens to your retainer)
*You may build amazing workshops for your different crafts...you may rent out your craft workshops to other players passing by etc.
*There is a special room in your home where you may place trophies of war.
*A spot for the field craft of farming!!!
*Players may choose to partner up with neighboring plots to form more massive homes. Their influences upon the land and commerce affects the GC influences.
*The house can have pets. You will need to feed your pet to keep it alive and healthy etc. In return your pet may wander in with some amazing find for you from time to time.
*Once a home is created it joins the Moogle mail network...a network of Moogles that deliver mail to you from other players and NPCs. Befriend and help out an NPC along your journey in Eorzea they may send you an amazing leve to set you out on a fantastic adventure!!!
