instance based housing your ideas

[Solowing]

Adding my idea on top of this:


The instanced plot and the ward plot would be one and the same. Meaning, you can choose to go into the wards for the neighborhood feel, but if you must take a break you can willingly take it out and back into its pocket instance for storage, with the caveat only you and your tenants may visit it. Keeping up a sub would entail you're paying to stay on the ward location you choose, and going inactive wouldn't mean losing your plot, only your spot in the neighborhood. Could potentially be a happy middle for both ideas? There's prestige and comfortability in not having to go through 5 menus every time you want to visit a friend or host other players at your house, and there's privacy and safety in keeping your plot stored only for yourself and your tenants to visit. You can unsub at any time, and when you return you can go back into trying to get a spot in the neighbourhood if you feel like it.

This would mostly be for private housing. I am a bit on the fence about FCs, particularly about workshops. I think workshops could either be a feature for ward-only houses (as in, the workshop is a building unrelated to the house, that you can only access if your FC is settled in that neighborhood) or keep it stuck to the FC home and let anyone have one, even if it's in the pocket instance mode. I need some thoughts on this, as I am not sure what the consequences of each situation could entail.

Even if they only added this system for private housing, I think it'd be an improvement that would benefit people without housing greatly while not taking anything away from those already settled into the wards. I think some people would even move out of the wards, preferring their privacy and to be able to unsub at any time, while those who want to stay on the more social side of things would rather keep their sub running and go for the neighborhoods. Potentially, neighbourhoods could even sort themselves into RP estate wards, club/lounges, shops and restaurants, etc.

Which rolls back into the compromise of having a assured plot but limited visibility.

Putting a Small on Island Sanctuary.

I would say a small because it'll still have everything a small has. But not the visibility.

So the pro is you you have a small that is unaffected by the demo timer. However its not freely accessible by the general playerbase. So itll be mainly for you.

However those warning visibility or a venue will need a plot/apt.

The reason why I say small is to keep the incentive for the ward plot there.
