Greetings!

I want to pass along some feedback and ideas for Companies and Linkshells, regarding Housing. Specifically Guild (LS) Halls.

There should be purchasable, instanced zones in which a linkshell or company can purchase a hall/castle/keep/etc. There should be a range of options, from your basic, low priced hall to grand, castle like buildings. The largest being the most expensive, and which will take the longest time to earn. To access these zones, one would simply need to interact with an object either in a city or personal inventory that could transport you to the hall.

These should be purchasable with Gil, but perhaps another system on top of that? A status-style point system earned by companies maybe? Perhaps even tie it to the "level" of your company, if such a system will exist.

There should be a whole slew of new crafting recipes added for such things as furniture and decorations that you'll be able to place in your hall.

Halls should also contain Guild Banks, where officers of a LS/Company can set storage/withdrawl rules for both items and gil.

I am currently uploading a YouTube video of an example of a massive, top of the line guild hall from my guild in Everquest 2. I'm using EQ2 as an example because when it comes to Housing and Guilds, EQ2 has the system down near perfectly. Will post it shortly!
