    Well these things are made through crafting and money. As the highest lvl ive saw is 42 and cash is a bit rought to come by fast before lvl 30 anyway and it takes a decent crafting skill to even make these things and many diff crafters to i would say give it a month or so before you start seeing them.

    Dude it takes soooooo long to get that stuff. You have to buy land, then get your crafting skills up, buy mats etc. but when its done it makes it worth while.

    I'm only level 13 but I already have a plot of land and I'm already building my house. Don't know how soon I'll get it done though.

    You also need to realize that ships and housing materials are mostly built by player crafters. Player crafters that have to spend the time getting their levels up to be able to make that kind of material. You do realize the game has only been out for 2 weeks, don't you? I mean I highly doubt anyone in SWG could make houses in the first 2 weeks it was released.

    It will be even more in depth than that once everything is implemented( if everything is) where you can build your house near or in a city and open up a shop. So if you went the crafting route in the game, you could basically compete with others for lower prices, better quality(yes you can make different quality items) People are complaining about the games lack of immersion, but the players in the game haven't developed enough to make use of all the cool stuff thats in it.





    Edit- Heh. Blurr beat me too it.

    And imagine the satisfaction you will feel when you build your house... and never spend any time in it.



    Sure, you can decorate it with trophies (Is this even in yet?), but who will see them?  Your in game date?



    Housing really has little point in games, unless it can be captured, destroyed, or when you log out, your character goes to sleep, and is vulnerable to attack.  Unless you are logged out in a safe location, you may log into a corpse run.

    That would be awesome.  I don't think it would happen though.  My house in SWG was mainly an off-shoot of my bank..

    LOL hate to be the one to rain on your parade but houses and boats arent in game yet. They couldnt get them to work right in beta I know I spent months with 12 others trying to build a boat. Oh and yes 1 person doesn't a boat build, its a guild effort. I can't really speak to you on houses, but I do know that adding them is very low on the priorites list atm if ever.

    Complete and utter lies.

    I saw someone (unguilded) with a personal boat today.

    I personally am building my own house as we speak. It's a two storey Thestran log cabin deluxe.

    Move along.

    Edit: Also, houses aren't instanced like in some games. They're out there and as far as I know, anybody can wander into your house and look (but not touch) all of your things. As far as I can tell, you can display any item in your house that you want.

    Don't forget that these games are RPG's.  Role Playing Games.



    Player housing makes perfect sense. Just because you won't spend time in your house does not mean I won't.



    I think a lot of crafters will use personal crafting stations and craft inside their house. In SWG I would often drop by a friends house who was a crafter and find them working away in the basement or wherever. It was appealing. They were always glad to see me.



    I like to turn my basement into a armory of sorts, filled with neatly stored armor and weapons (that I loot or buy and can use). One wall might be filled with bows (I'm a ranger). Maybe even one day bows that I don't use anymore but remember wielding in exciting and dangerous encounters. Over the course of time a house can become, well, a home.



    Role players also like to meet for RP reasons, like a party or meeting, etc.



    Owning a house is owning a private piece of the world. And that, obviously, is very appealing in an RPG.

    Who in the hell would WANT to go out to your house, since all the housing areas are a 30-50 minute run from anyplace?

    Why bother?

    I would because my house will be right beside his and on my way there all farm every chunk of ore and stone i can find and yes it might take 20 mins to get there, but i have a feeling a person like  myself that likes to explore and farm will manage to make the trip take 1 1/2 hours and one thing about vanguard is its so stunning to look at on my machine i never get sick of traveling the same paths unlike WOW where i felt like throwing up everywhere i went

    You are definately wrong on the fact that boats and houses are not in game, on flamehammer they are already buying houses and stuff. Was doing some questing with another person the other night and she was telling us where to pick up a house and how much it cost. The cheapest one she found was like 2 gold 50 silver.

    Out of every 100 men, 10 should not be there,
    80 are nothing but targets, 9 are the real fighters.
    Ah, but one, ONE of them is a warrior,
    and he will bring the others home.

    Yeh the game makes no effort to show new players all the kool features : It's a shame because new players will think all the game has is what they see at the start, which tbh is pretty crap.

    They are there....a few people got them. Vanguard only launched three weeks ago..lol..much of that is higher level stuff. You can't walk in and expect to build your house in the first week.

    Is a person born in real life and driving a car by age one ? no...

    It will take most people months to get their first house and boats. That is perfectly fine by me. It keeps most of the instant gratification types...aka..children ...playing a different mmo. I like that....because with 3 of my own at home..I don't want to be babysitting all day in my favorite mmorpg too !

    Im going to go ahead and show my ignorance, but exactly how big is the world in this game?  Is there a chance that land available for purchase will run out anytime soon?

    The world is absolutely massive ! I doubt anyone will ever see all of it within the first year. It has been stated their will be more than enough plots for everyone. If they run out..they can ..and I suspect..they will...add more.
