Please add guest access settings from Island Sanctuary to housing

You're probably right that those collision volumes are baked into the area. But adding ones that can be toggled on a per client basis is not something that should be a schedule busting effort. Of course that assumes they didn't take too many shortcuts with the design. Then there's the question if XIV's server actually validates a client's position. Unlikely since wall and speed hacks exist.

The other curiosity is that IS access permissions only take effect if the owner is present. If the owner isn't around then nobody can visit. That strongly suggests that they're still tying way too much information to character storage. If that's true that's incredibly disappointing.

The outside of the house does not exist solely on the owner's client. It is a shared zone on the game servers that any player is free to enter.

I sincerely doubt having the housing system juggle multiple entry rulesets in every ward would be as simple as it sounds. We're not taking Yanxia where it was a single static ruleset for the collision wall that existed at a single location and applied to all players equally. You either had completed Doma Castle, or you hadn't.

That's vastly different from trying to get the game to program "its okay for John to be on Jane and Bill's lawns but not on Sally or Mike's lawns while Sally can be on John and Bill's lawn but isn't allowed on Jane or Mike's lawns while Bill isn't allowed on anyone's lawn but Jane and Mike gets access to all" - subject to change when someone gets mad at one of the others or they've made up after fighting.

Instanced interiors? Yes, the whitelists should be available now that we see it is possible for private instances. If SE would add in a blacklist function, even better.

I was actually kind of amazed that housing permissions were all or nothing. There's a lot of people around here that don't understand why housing permissions are a problem.

I just opened up a new RP restaurant and on the first night had a troll/heckler the likes of which I haven't encountered since my WoW days. Not being able to kick them out of, and prevent them from entering my private space again, was quite frustrating for both me and my guests. I'd LOVE to have more granular control from Everyone to Friends to Nobody for my places. At the very least, make it so people on your black list are barred from entry.

The only thing I've got now is knowing that person won't see my PF listing since they're blacklisted.

So... You are aware that blacklisting happens entirely on your side? You won't see their PF lisitngs but they will be completely fine to see yours.

I keep thinking about having a little party or something at the house but the idea of doing this without any option to "moderate" my own space like this still feels a bit uncomfortable. Please SE, add that feature!
