In black desert online, homes are part of the actual town. You click on the door and it gives you a menu where you can access your home, or the ten highest ranked stranger's homes, or your friend's home if your friend has a house there. In this way, thousands of people are owning an instanced version of a single building within the town. And the currency they buy it with isn't gold, but a secondary kind that everyone has ample supply of. The result is that players can own several houses and fill them with many things. A housing "shortage" is unheard of in BDO. In Phantasy Star Online 2 you could purchase a room with different sizes and customize it. Wildstar basically had you hit a certain level, and then you talk to a guy and bam you have a plot that you can customize the crap out of. And in Lost Ark, you get an island stronghold that you can customize.

None of these players even pay a mandatory monthly fee, but they have a player housing system that allows everyone to enjoy the system fully.
