Housing System & Development Suggestions

[Shougun]

Just wanted to let you know you can go past the character limit of each post by editing your post, like for example:

[over the character limit text, can't post] <- copy this for saftey (maybe put it somewhere just in case lol)
[cut down to under the limit] <- posted
[edit post and paste the whole monster, save post] <- victory

Might not worry about that now though since if you delete a post it still leaves a shell post that you deleted it lol (but for the future it might help ^^).

Also while I prefer instanced, my own zone, housing like Wildstar (I haven't put value in the neighbor element, having been in a full housing area for a few years now) I wanted to mention that with the change that a ward grows when full it would be like LotR Online's housing which doesn't have the issues like we have, so.. your solution has been implemented and works .

The British cul de sac thing sounds super cute .

I think if they could get apartments up to the speed of houses (size upgrades, like the floors you suggested) and a balcony/garden area (full garden support and outdoor furnishing) then we'd be in some pretty good shape (still people might want a physical location out there but at least we could start saying things like apartments are quite equal to house). I'm actually curious if Ishgard is going to be fancy places like BDO basically.

Whatever happens I hope that both the barrier to housing can be lowered and the supply raised to meet the new demand, I feel housing is a brilliant concept for an MMORPG (make a home away from home.. have a home!) so it's something I hope they can get everyone into and also then improve on with new systems and interactions.

Best wishes back at you
