It's kind of funny how many people are vehemently against the idea and quote, "It'll never happen/disaster" when the same things were said when people were willing to pay for more inventory space back when two retainers were all anyone ever had period. Now you can have up to ten retainers, assuming you're willing to pay for the additional 8 (with one being tied to a 5 dollar app monthly cost).

I wouldn't personally spend real life money on owning a house. I managed to get a personal house before and just never did jack with it since I've put a stupid amount into my FC House. Got notifications about losing it since I never went to it and just shrugged, "meh" and lost it.

Unpopular opinion but, housing was at its best when it was only available to Free Company's (1 per FC limit) at launch. It actually had that community feel that the devs were going for. We had neighbors, people were actively around in the housing areas and I made some nice friends and neat rivals through it.
