Guild Wars 2

I don’t feel that this feature is a MUST HAVE thing right away but as soon as possible would be great. I personally love the aspects of player housing and I know its a very sought after feature in pretty much every MMO out there.

I love Rift’s housing with the huge amount of items already in the game to put into your dimension and the amount of customization is incredible.

So, I propose Player Housing and Guild Housing sometime in the not so distant future!

I was thinking about how this could be done, and then I remembered the number of buildings in the cities and towns you can’t actually enter. All they’d have to do is create interiors, doors, and price tags, and bam, you’ve got your player housing.

I wouldn’t want to be able to spam houses all over the countryside. I could, however… ooh! Idea!

Suppose they release an expansion in which Orr is nearly pacified (Zhaitan having been killed some time ago) and another dragon is on the move. While being able to buy existing space in the existing cities would be fun, being able to BUILD in a newly opened Orr would be an opportunity to let the players get creative. It was, after all, once a fantastically wealthy human kingdom. It stands to reason that with the spark of life rekindled and Zhaitan gone, a new city would grow where the old one once stood.

Yea there are tons of buildings out there, even if they are instanced its fine. I don’t care to see player housing scattered everywhere along the countryside because that just wouldn’t work right with the way events work and whatnot.

The ability to buy or even rent a piece of property like in EQ2 would be awesome. I know that there are people out there who don’t want player housing or don’t care about it, but I don’t see why you wouldn’t want MORE features added to an MMO?

Yeah, in the interests of those who don’t like it, I’d want it to be as inobtrusive as possible, either seamlessly fitting in with the existing architecture (and thus something you could ignore or maybe even not realize exists), or being built right into an expansion area in a fashion that makes sense.

I read somewhere that they have planned to implement player housing. I just assumed it would be in your home instance, because there are vacant buildings, rooms, areas, etc. in each home instance (as far as I’ve seen). This seems like the easiest area for player housing to be implemented.

I think this would be a very nice feature.

If you decide you are going to do it, you can easily make it like the Hall of Monuments from Guild Wars 1, where you can enter an instanced area that is your home, and if you are the one who creates the instance, then people in your party can see your house as well.

Player housing and guild forts/housing are both on Anets to-do list however with no set date or confirmation. Both, I feel, would make my experience a lot more enjoyable too.
