Housing

[Punainen]

Well not really, it depends what you want from a game.
Someone plays for the high end gear so they can be the best DD, some people play to equip their house with the nicest things around.
I personally can't wait to start furnishing my house, no matter what it costs.

Yeah, I love the extras like that, even if they are technically useless. Apparently we'll be able to customize it really well!

have their been screenshots about the housing? from live letter? would be really cool.

what I want to know is who's cleaning up all the chocobo shit in the yard? You thinking owning a home is a piece of cake?!

So i mentioned in another thread very vaguely about housekeepers. First mentioned was moogle. Very used up. So I mentioned cactaur. unused.

Now lets talk about other cute housekeepers we could have!

Ohhhhhh YEEEEAAAAH! :Q

I would also take Marmots and Spriggian. Tho Spriggian like to run off with your stuff and bury it.

Please, please, PLEASE do not have a limit to how many players are able to have a house. I've seen it done in every MMO that ever had housing, and its EXTREMELY unfair.

This happens because of a thing called memory limitations so it doesn't matter if an MMO is PC or console or PC & Console, it's limited to save the MMO for collapsing on itself.

I wouldn't discribe her as cute :P.

Have they said if housing will be available at launch or will it be sometime after?

Sounds like exactly the same as the system in Lord of the Rings Online. Each instanced area would hold a couple of Kinship (Linkshell) Houses, a half-dozen large houses (with a higher rent) and a dozen small houses. The area also had NPCs to access to your Vault (ie Retainer) and a shop for vending goods.

It's ok and it ensures everyone has a house, but leaves the residential areas feeling like ghost towns - more so after a few months when the population dies down.

I do like the sound of the Choco Ranch though! Kinda hoping there's a special type of storage to replace the Armoire that can keep *all* Uni/Unt items in it.

Let's hope the residential areas are the size of your average zone and not that of your average box. The new servers are supposed to be able to handle up to 600 people in one area which sounds promising.
