I know theres a lot of die hard fans out there screaming NO NO NO WAR IS WAR ALL YOU DO IS FIGHT..blah blah blah "go play another game" ect ect... typical responses.
But lets be honest, after awhile constant fighting over territory gets old and eventually people will want more out of this game then just PvP/PvE killing... Do you think theres room in WAR for Housing? is there room in Warhammer lore to give each individual grunt his own plot of land to build and defend/merchant/expand? Would Warhammer support player built CITIES?
Comments
No, no player made cities, IF, then only instanced, and instanced cities suck.
BUT there WILL be Player Made Guild Halls, with Trophies and all kinds of stuff, so Guild Housing is in.
yeah i want a house in warhammer
but i dont want to build one like in vanguard, the houses should be for rent or something
Orcs dun bild 'ouses. 'ouses can't smash 'tings! Orcs smash 'tings!
WAAAAAGH!!!
I see housing and crafting in WAR being implemented just like DAOC. If that's the case, I don't mind. As long as it doesn't take me 50 damn years of crafting to finally be able to make pink dye

If you have any questions about what kind of usual MMO content will make it into WAR just think if an Orc will do/use it.
Orcs in Warhammer don't farm, they don't mine, they don't make anything but weapons (and even those are crap). Everything the Orcs have they got by kicking the crap out of someone else and taking what they have.
Will an Orc do it? Ask yourselves that.
Player cities, no.
Player housing, they said they were strongly considering it a Gamesday and were trying to figure out the best way to do it.

Improvise obviously!
I hope that if it does get in they put it in later, so housing doesn't take dev time from RvR.

Orcs build orcy forts
And remember this is Warhammer, not Orchammer.
Please...for the love of god...no stupid dyes.

gotta agree with those 2 clever people... imagine the work to put housing into WAR, 6 distinct styles, 1 for each class (maybe 7 1 for gobs and 1 for orcs) and then have varients, as everyone would have the same style houses and that will just make people beg for more. and tbh would you want them to push release back 6 months to implement it???
no way! and as a future expansion, the places they will have houses will be instanced and not apart of the main world, and i find that a bit stupid, thye couldnt fit it into the warhammer world "magic portal that takes you to your home!"
and they are doing something along the lines of guild houses, which could be the better option.
They've stated that they're considering player housing, but it's not a priority and probably won't be in the release. They've discussed a couple different options for it.
Personally, I'm hoping they do war camps - either in established places near the cities or in regiment (guild) camps, have a tent/hut set up when a player logs in, pulled down when he logs out.
I think that player owned housing would be really sweet, but cities wouldn't work too good because everyone would want there own territory and then some people would never be able to truthfully build their own as they would keep getting owned by bigger or more powerful cities etc.
Oh jeez!Please...for the love of god...no stupid dyes.
If you don't like it, close your face.

Housing in any MMO is fluff. It should never be implemented at release because quite frankly there is enough on the developer's plate to keep them busy. By expending resources to get housing in the game at release, that means they had to skimp or cut out other areas that could have made the game better. Fluff is nice and I do enjoy a bit of it. But I'd rather devs spend their resources on making the game playable, stable, and above all FUN! Housing released at a later date is fine once the game has been released and everything is stabalized.
While housing wouldn't be wrong, it's still just bad
The Warhammer lore (And Paul in general) is all about the WAR
Fight fight fight, if you're doing something, then you're fighting. Simple as that.
I don't even think there's crafting..
Point here being that, sure, they can have housing in cities and all that,
but how do You like the idea of having your home raided and burned down every two weeks?
I personally could do without a house as it's just bound to get raided the next time them legged beards come by..
The Warhammer foundation, the very base of the .. what .. 25 years it's been around..?
Has been WAR and nothing but it.
Sure, I like housing, but Warhammer isn't about housing, it's about WAR (And kicking squigs off cliffs apparently)
So, umm, ya.. Possibly camps, but houses? Nah
Played so far: 9Dragons, AO, AC, AC2, CoX, DAoC, DF, DnL, DR, DDO, Ent, EvE, EQ, EQ2, FoMK, FFO, Fury, GW, HG:L, HZ, L1, L2, M59, MU, NC1, NC2, PS, PT, R:O, RF:O, RYL, Ryzom, SL, SB, SW:G, TR, TCoS, MX:O, UO, VG, WAR, WoW...
It all sucked.
So once all of you are level capped and done all the instances gazillion times and get tired of pvp (i.e. war) what will you do then? run around naked in the main cities as some other games-we-won't-name?
Nah, it will be like LOTRO - housing implemented after release. And what is wrong with doing 6 or so different housing styles? Lol, even SWG managed different styles. Tents for orcs, or caves, etc, I don't see a technical problem there. lore - sure. but lore can be stretched when it comes to money makeing. And the hardcore lore people who cry loud, well, they won't be enough to kill the game, let's face it.
Same with crafting - the devs don't care if it fits into the lore - it's a time sink. And time sinks mean you stay longer and pay longer......
I wish Paul was here to comment on this.....
"Why do you want bloody houses in WAR? Its WAR! Its killing its maiming! you dnt have time to say 'oh i need to water my plants back at the house' when a Chaos Maurader is snapping his crab claws at you! What are you people thinking?!"
at least thats how I think it would go
Try AoC if you want an upcoming title with housing.
edit: now just to clear a few things up I'm a long time UO player. I LOOOOVE housing. The vendors, the decoration, everything! housing doesnt have a place in WAR though. My opinion
actually so far the devs are sticking to the lore very well. Time will tell if they abandon it later down the line (cough.. TBC cough)
OMG, I just had a thought. What if Mythic doesn't let us have 24toons! I will have to get multiple accounts

Oh hell yes, why not? It might give all the PVE people (whiners) something to do
Seriously now, I like PVE too, and I haven't played DAOC (is it DAOC with the houses?) If they do add player housing/cities they have to be attackable like all the other places in WAR
That would give the PVE people something to worry about!
Houses would be good places for guilds to display their trophies too.

I think that there will be housing in WAR,but in a raher similar way (not the same though
)to the idea presented in Dark Age of Camelot.Dunno if housing will be implemmented in the release or in a expansion.
Only if people aren't affraid to have their homes burnt down and ransacked... i mean.... the Chaos won't go into a housing area and think " Well these people worked hard to get and decorate these homes, no need to burn them down"
YES! RUBBLE 'EM!
