Pretty much this at this point. I've had a beach house right across from a friend in Shirogane for a few years now and I wouldn't give it up for the world, but I'd rather have instanced housing in major cities with no other players around and living in the cities proper.

Give me a house or manor next to house Fortemp or something similar in Doma. Honestly hope Island Sanctuary works out and I can get my own little farmhouse to mess around with.
