    Don't quote me on this but I'm fairly certain that was the initial plan... I remember reading either a Tanaka or early dev interview where they mentioned they wanted to have empty land that you could buy and build upon with your crafts.

    Anyway housing should end up being somewhat similair and it's easily one of the things I'm looking forward to the most in 2.0.

    yoshi-p said it be a zone with 20 homes and you fix it up with craft and grow and take care of baby chocobos and everything and then later they link a door to your free company hall. I hope they still go with this idea i think it pretty cool

    i've always wanted a Linkshell house/hall or something like it where all my LS mates can hang out together and have fun, also buy and upgrade the places like the house idea that came out in runescape years go. that would be sweet!

    I really like the idea of a Shell hall, and I really like most of the ideas OP presented. The fact that the idea was so fleshed out is a testament to the thought that went into it.

    There are a few things that I think may hurt the game a little though. While I do like the idea of have a workshop area that allows members to craft using facilities, I dont think that getting access to the master or intermediate facilities is such a good idea. That will make the crafting guilds obsolete aside from the quests you can do for them. I think that access to the basic facilities is a good idea though as you can get those just very easily anyway.

    As far as making the world barren, I agree that people sitting around arent doing anything anyway, so no big deal there. And since the inns will be implemented soon, nobody is going to just sit idle in town anymore when they can simply rent a room and log out to accumulate that rested bonus. Having rooms in the Shell hall makes sense as well.

    A final thought to maybe make the Hall a little more viable:

    Instead of making most of those benefits free, make them simply discounted.
    -500 gil instead of 800 for basic crafting facilities
    -1 instead of 3 for a room (i dont know what the actual cost of inn rooms will be...)
    -etc
    As much as I would like that kind of thing to be free, I think it would be more efficient if it was discounted. More gil for the shell coffers and all. It also makes it less necessary to join a LinkShell. Some people, as odd as it sounds, dont want to join a group or are simply uncomfortable with that sort of thing. If you still have to pay for those things as a member, even at a small discount, then it doesnt seem like you MUST join a LinkShell to be able to do anything.

    An instanced gathering place for a LinkShell would be awesome. I would love to see most of the ideas from OP implimented.

    You have a good point there, that I didn't think about Wicka. Some people would obviously join shells just to reap the benefits of their facilities for free, who may/may not put any effort into buying those facilities despite the cost of the rooms/upgrades. Unfortunately it's one of the few problems I cannot think of a solid solution too, without charging a discounted fee like you mentioned. But thankfully things are subjective at this stage and getting all the problems pointed out early will make it easier to counter them in the development process. ^_^

    I'm looking forward to the guild/ FC space and estates and I like the fact that the estates will not be instanced. I hope they do the same with the guild hall

    I'm kinda curious on the JP and EU communities stance on a guild halls as well, would be great if I could get some translators to get them in on this too.
