Ok, we received word that the project is not canceled. So what exactly is going on over there? Post your thoughts.
I'm thinking maybe EA is going to take this seriously and go all out. Maybe even a new graphics engine??? That would explain the lack of newly released screen shots. Perhaps the hype that EQII and WOW have garnered has forced EA to consider making a high end MMORPG.

I think they are looking at a possible revamp. Some big changes to content and maybe crafting and stuff. I doubt they'll change the graphics engine, I love the graphics, but who knows. Inqwis has been very reassurant that the game is not cancelled, but it seems like they are planning something big to compete with WoW, EQII, and others. Who can say...
Inqwis will keep us up-to-date when they figure out what's going on. My bet is that they don't even know yet.

Housing is such a sticky point in these games. I love it in UO, hate it in AC and hear mixed signals about it in DAoC. Crafting, if it's done right, is a huge boon to building communities, especailly RP'ers. If it's not, it becomes an afterthought add-on diversion. I just hope they get it right because I really want this game to succeed.
If you are going to have housing in your game, you have to do it right.
There has to be a reason for you to invest yourself in it. I do not mean monatarily, but rather something you are willing to put time into and work on.
The problem with houses, such as in Dark Age , is that they can be expensive and require high up keep costs. I think there should be a great variety of houses, ones that are nothing but a simple shack to store extra items, to being grand palaces meant to house the heads of powerful guilds.
Instead of having a vault, I think inital housing should be very cheap so that everyone can have a home. However, if you want to get larger buildings and create guild halls it requires purchasing plots and heavy amounts of cash.
