Your thoughts on how housing should be implemented.

VABeachDaveVABeachDave Member Posts: 228

NCSoft says housing will be added to AION in a future patch. How would you like housing to be added? What do you like and dislike about housing? What do you want in your house? Should others be able to go into your house? What about guild housing? Vendors in your house? Games? Stuff to do? How about stuff for crafting in regards to housing?

 

If you don't like housing, well don't post anything as it is coming like it or not. This thread is only for ideas on how it should best be implemented.

 

As for me, I'd prefer instance housing. Have an area you can go to (In an instance) and have streets laid out. Lots for sale and with some houses already built. Buy land and build the house yourself. Crafting professions can help in this regard. I'd like the owner of the house to be able to set who can go in there with permissions. Long term storage in your house would be great (house safe perhaps). The crafting professions should be able to make the furniture and such as well. Perhaps give you a teleport ability back to your house.

    Hmm, while your idea is interesting, I wonder if they would really go through the effort of making such an elaborate system.

    "For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast,
    And breathed in the face of the foe as he passed:
    And the eyes of the sleepers waxed deadly and chill,
    And their hearts but once heaved, and for ever grew still!"
    ~Lord George Gordon Byron

    Well I really liked housing in Ultima Online and SWG.... but with the size of the market today I just don't see it as really possible.

     

    So that leaves either an instance zone (like DAoC used)

     

    Or the Anarchy Online "doorway to a million homes" concept which is what EQ2 uses.

     

    If they plan on doing guild halls I'd about wager they'll do it the same way as EQ2 did.

     

    I don't really have anything to suggest as they seem to be taking concepts they think work well and using/adapting those.  So I just posted what I think they might do.

    I've not played daoc. What is the housing like? What can you do and not do in it?

    I think it should be instanced. Anarchy Online appartments was instanced. I'm not sure they can do SWG style, but like a set of houses about the same as maybe how the Impire is in Oblivion and then have it inctance or somethin.

    I'm not big on housing but I thought the housing in EQ2 was pretty good, maybe something like that.
