Guild Wars 2

Today I spent some thought to what player housing could be like in GW2. When the thought of instanced homes struck me, I must say, it left a bland taste in my mouth.

When you have a home, surely you’d like to show it off. This had me thinking, what if the developers created some form of ‘city blocks’. These can be instanced, for practicality sake, but when you enter a block (or neighborhood) then a selection of houses are chosen, perhaps from your friends list or guild members. You’ll at least have your home surrounded by familiar faces.

If this wont work, then there should at least be a simple way for you to visit a friend’s home. There also needs to be an option for you to do something at someone else’s home, like leave a present, or a message. This can reward you with karma or an achievement, something like that.

There definitely needs to be incentives when it comes to a player’s home. If added, it shouldn’t just stand there, and mean nothing. There needs to be a reason why you’d want to have a home, to decorate it, and have it customizable to suit you. And there should be an easy way for players to interact with each other’s houses.

This seems like something for the future, I’d really like to see them finish fixing all the bugs and broken things in the game.

Of course, that’s definitely priority above all else.
But if player housing is added, I hope it’s something decent and well thought out. Or else they might as well leave it and concentrate on other content.

Forget houses, Guild halls would be so much more kittenss it could be progressable from land plot to mini castle

Player housing ala LOTRO wouldn’t be bad. Instanced neighborhoods with various styles of housing. I’d be okay with that, however there’s so many more important things to come first. Honestly I’d be upset if player housing made the top 100, and if it did Guild halls best be first.

in Aion there is housing. I dont know how the community responds to that, I only loged in once to check it out months after I stopped playing that game. However I could see how a very similar thing could be implemented if they actually do want to implement housing.

It is a separate map. There is a street with houses and villas that are higher cost, however when players run by they can see them and enter if the door is opened. Then there is an “apartment building” of instanced houses that are free and available to all who made it out of newbie area.

You can visit houses of people in your guild or friends list.
