Guild Wars 2

I have been thinking about how ArenaNet could make this work for the best, and how at the same time they could make the progress fun for us players, so here are some idear i have been thinking about.

Buy land, and build your house from ground
What this means is that everyone can go to a ”Land lord” and buy a piece of land, and ofcourse we should be able to buy different sizes, when you have bought these pieces of land you will now be able to travel there and start building your house.
Building your house will require different kind of materials aswell as gold, and ofcourse we should be able to build our houses bigger and more awesome depending on the tiers and such (And no keeps and castles shouldn’t be available for players, this should be guild features only).

Sell/ buy houses
At the ”Land lords” where we can buy a piece of land players should be able to sell there current house or buy a house if needed. And this should work just like tradebrokers work today.

Invite players to your house
you should be able to invite other players to your house, so they can visit you and you have the ability to brag/ show your trophys and such.

Make another player part of your ”family”
You should be able to tell if up to 4 people is part of your ”Family”, if you make them part of your ”family” they should be able to come and go as they want aswell as build/ upgrade your house and add/ remove new furnitures and such.

Hire employees
You should be able to hire employees, these employees could be everything from guards to kitchen staff or a gardner. This will make the your house feel alive and not just another random instance.
And ofcourse the reason i mention guards will come later in this thread.

Guards
Guards should be part of your household, as other players can hire thiefs/ henchmen to raid your house for jewelry and other stuff that might be worth something.

Gardeners and other staff
These workers you employ should keep your house intact and repaired. And okittenitchen staff should be there to keep your workers alive ( Ofc they need food).

This is just some fast thoughts, will mabye try and explain them further and add some more later, but sitting at work writting this might not be the best thing

I like the whole land ownership idea. What will likely happen though is it will be a house within the Salma District, otherwise known as the “home instance.” The place where many of the early missions take place. The only choices we’ll likely have to start with will be whether or not we want to live on the hill with the wealthier folks, or in a more humble abode down the street.

I’d personally like to see a personal single character use only chest or “bank” in our house. So that any character that actually owned the house had their very own bank tab. I am interested in this because my main character currently has an entire bank tab to herself. I have eight characters in total, and one of them is taking up an entire slot.

As for things like “family” within the game. I actually think they had things like this in previous MMO’s. I believe it was was character marriages though. The pair were condsidered wed and they received a small PvE buff when playing together in near vicinty or teamed with one another.

thx for reading,
Your proberly right thats how they will make it.. wich is kinda sad since no one will use there houses for anything then.

Another idear for the family stuff could be kind like in LOTRO where you choose who is your parents and your children.

Lately I’ve been looking for reasons just to log on…but, sadly, an ability to buy chintzy curtains wouldn’t be very highly placed on the list.
Guildhalls i could probably go for but individual player housing, gardening etc. is too much of a nod towards cheesy FB games for me, sorry.

True. It would be nice more guild realted things back into the fold too. Halls, alliances, Guild battles, etc…
