Hi guys is it true we are getting our own private island in the next expansion

[HisShadowX]

If so what’s the point of expensive and hard to get houses ?

[Enla]

It's true, we're getting something called an Island Sanctuary. However the dev team hasn't said anything about it offering housing. The community, myself included, is just hoping that it will.

As much it would be cool I don't think we'll get 2 housing zones in the expansion. It would blow my mind but keeping my expection very low on that front.

My expectations are so low that I half think Garlemald and/or Fandaniel are going to blow up Ishgard Housing before we can move in; or that it'll just somehow never be mentioned again and be home to only the NPCs.

They can't think of anything else to use for Restoration content so clearly that means they need to blow the Firmament up again so we can rebuild it. Again. Something about lunar dragons, probably. What is it with dragons and moons anyway?

Next stop: Royal Menagerie Gardens restoration after it got set on fire last patch.

There are quite a few people who aren't happy about being shut out of the garden.

That would be pretty hilarious tbh.

We have no idea what Island Sanctuaries will entail other than letting your minions run/roam around in some unknown capacity.
Hopefully we'll find out mid May at the Fanfest.

Confirmed features: Having minions out, crop growing, animal raising, instanced island. Trades will be possible inside the Island, so at least there'll be a way to travel between islands.

Not confirmed but people are very hopeful: Housing inside the instanced island.

Edit: About "the point of having a house"... well... having it? Personal decoration, FC HQs, Explorations are still done via FCs, as well as all the glamours made in the Workshops... RP Venues, too. Mine is decorated as a Marketplace with a Tavern in the Bottom Floor and a Café on the Top Floor, it's quite nice just to hang there.

Confirmed features: crop growing

i hope this works for all current gardening items, iam tired of having to buy overpriced crops off the marketboard simply because iam unlucky enough to own a house therefore am not allowed to perform crossbreading
