Housing confirmed :o
In an interview with thisisgame, the game's designer confirmed that there will be guild housing, the thread in Aionsource isn't totally clear, but they also state that these halls will be destructable also.
There are the first official words talking about player housing aswell, one wonders if it will be at the release or if it will come in the first expansion as it was said before, since they are talking about it in a "what we will see in OB" interview.
So now we have fortress sieges and destructable guild halls, the endgame is getting more and more interesting ^^ can't wait to see the korean OB details.
BTW, if someone here knows Korean, it would be pretty usefull here :P

This is the best signature ever. Well, it is really up to you to decide. :x
Wow, this is the first time in... ever... that I've seen a huge feature added before launch.

i didn't think i could love this game anymore, but now i do, thnx for the post
Well unlike most other games NCsoft haven't prommised a grand list of features early on and then cut it out for whatever reason they might have, instead we get new features as they make it in game, which I honestly prefer.
For the announcement; before we can get a better translation im reserved as I noticed in another article it was stated to be in the first expansion.
Hm. I know Korean...(was trying to get in CBT too)
Where was this confirmed at?
Check out the TIG interview i linked in the OP, a Korean member of Aionsource pointed at that link when talking about guild housing and player housing, I used google translator and indeed there were remarks about it, but I didn't get crap out of the google translation :P
Well having biatched about this for months, I have to say I'm thrilled, I'd rather a more carebear approach to the housing myself, but it won't stop me from check it out anyway.

I have the original copied and pasted and the yellow print is my translation. I am not a professional translator but I will try to stay accurate.

TIG> Do you have plans for future to make housing or guild city/region available in Aion?

-Of course. We even have plan to make it possible to siege, plunder, and even put flames on enemy's houses. Also not only will it be for another pc(player)'s housing, it will also be possible to destroy and lay waste to opposing side's objectives and buildings. Our main goal is to make it possible for the players to experience laying waste to the cities from the skies above.

-Yes, it'll be possible for different Legions to battle one another as well as personal combats. If wars break out, wouldn't people naturally build houses together(close by)? Only problem/dilemma we are having at the moment is to whether make a seperate field for those housings or make it possible to build on regular fields, this is still under debate.
Our final goal with this is to make any objects on the field destructable and buildable by a player.

That's it! I am so happy with this news!
Anyways, I hope I helped clarify few things.
Ouch, looks like this site isn't quite friendly with Korean....Ah well...
Housing won't be implemented for awhile though, probably with the first major expansion/update 6-12months down the road after release. It does sound awesome though~ But expensive!
Level 50 Sorcerers flying around vasting huge nukes on houses and causing mass chaos!
You know that sounds a lot like Age of Conan was trying to go for???
RIP AoC? I mean RIP more? No wait I actually like that game.... o.o
(,,,)=^__^=(,,,)
lol i think that the beta will have wayyyy too many people wanting to play i just hope that i can join the beta from New Zealand
hurry up and release it lol.. :P
I absolutly
housing, and decorating it...making my own pad ect...Its just a part of feeling like your actually part of this great world.
I have a bad feeling about decorations... knowing my luck, I'll prolly spend all day decorating my house and several hours later a platoon of Elyos will drop by and burn down my house LOL
Now I'm curious as how they're gonna implement this. I really hope it's UO type housing

I loved my house in swg, i cross server traded for all the first edition artwork. I had my weaponsmith shop all deck out w/ pieces of tools and parts all over the place, it looked like a real machine shop.
Hopefully this doesn't set the path for an item mall filled with endless decorations and furnishings...
Can't wait tbh. Imagine flying around with a demolition squad from your legion and suddenly attacking the enemy races guildhalls *grin* I'm so gonna love this game.
it's gonna be a blast i can't wait.
Let's not bring out this can of worms... ><
(,,,)=^__^=(,,,)
Personally I don't care if there is an item mall as long as the items are all fluff. If a game could be f2p and have house decor in the item mall I would be all for it.

Thx for the info,alzemu,good job anyway
It does sound awesome though i think that also will be limited our performance on builds.Maybe with a new first expansion.Let's see in korean OB, at the moment i see a few fortrees for guilds,but nothing sure^^
I got a chance to sit down with 5 different devs and ask some questions for Aionsource and my legion and in-game housing was one of them and idk where you got your info people, but in-game housing won't be in launch and there are no plans for in-game housing in the future.

TIG> Afterwards, are there plans to add housing and things like hideouts/hangouts?
Of course. We are planning to even add contents where you can pillage enemy villages and burn their buildings. Basicly, all objects and buildings of PC and other enemies (NPC) will be destructible. Our goal is to allow our players to realistically experience aerial bombardments.
TIG> If that’s the case, will we be able to create legion villages instead of basic housing?
Yes. It will be possible to fight between legions as well as individuals. After conflict spreads, doesn’t people naturally gather together and build houses? However, whether the housing will be built on a separate field (instance?) or public field has yet to be determined. As a final decision, our goal is to make any object on the field to be destructible and can be crafted by anyone.
It comes from that interview that TIG had recently with the lead designer of Aion.
