This way we will build a lively community in each zone and players have a variety of locations to live.

Any downside to this? I think it would look beautiful. Of course maybe limit the exteriors to the theme of the zone so we dont get candyland houses in like Azim Steppe.
Because the actual housing districts were opened up to adventurers specifically to live by their respective cities. I take it you didn't read any of the dialogue?

It would also break the immersion of the game for other players. It would also break the lore since i don't know...Azim Steppe is full of nomadic tribes living in tents, and then you have some random put a Thavnair boat in the middle of their garden.
