Fix Housing Megathread

I did a search on Rift and ESO and both of those have option for players to buy housing with real world money. It’s no secret that games with cash shops often have whales subsidize the free players, so it’s also possible that the “unlimited housing” is being paid for by those who purchased housing with real world money.

Personally I wouldn’t mind if there’s a Online Store purchase, or MogStation subscription add-on (like retainers), housing option available in addition to current ward system, so long as it’s a separate option. But iirc similar suggestions were shot down quite fervently by the community.

Would you support an instance housing system if it has to be paid for separately from monthly sub?

I played SWtOR for 5 yrs and Wild Star for about 9 months after I did the beta. Both had instanced housing included in the monthly sub fee which was comparable with other MMOS.

We have instanced housing, too, apartments. Wasn't SWTOR housing only an interior? So it's exactly the same.

SWtOR and WS were a combination that included outside and inside so you were able to have 4x different fortresses like Tatooine, etc. and decorate the whole area but it belonged to just you. no neighborhoods.. When ppl visited, we either used a planet area board or friend's list. Wild Star was the best housing I have ever been involved with. If you payed a monthly sub with both games like here, the housing was included. The CartHELL Marketas I called it hehe, was just extra fluff or cost for non sub players.

Didn’t the entire SWTOR turn semi-free to play? I bought the game when it first came but quit after finishing 2 characters story. (Just general MMO burn-out) A quick search shows their housing (stronghold?) is purchasable with cartel coins in addition to to in-game currency. So like Rift, you can buy housing with real world money. But wow (no pun intended) it’s down to 5 servers….

I’ve no idea about Wild Star. I could not find much info about housing in the game.
