Instance housing?

in Vanguard: Saga of Heroes

I've been anxiously waiting for this game to come out being it looks great on paper.

But!  Now I read where housing is only in instance. Please don't tell me this is true, is it?

I dislike any part of a game being an instance, especially housing where you like to decorate your house to show off.  Not only this, but instancing takes away so much from socializing and rp in a game.

    Vanguard will NOT have instancing. Houses will be placed in the wilderness, but there will be specific places where you can build a house.

    I hope the housing is done somewhat like DAoC but with a lot more detail. 

    It should not be instanced,  is should go on 'supply and demand' ..meaning if there is a great demand for housing but little land to build it on the price should go up and the price should go down if opposite, like a real world economy.

    It's going to be like SWG or UO rather than DAoC, with one difference, there will be limited places where you can build a house in order to prevent turning the game into a huge city.

    I read in some article/interview that the housing will be placed in pre-determined lots throughout the wilderness. This is to protect the landscape. Some lots will be larger or more clustered than others, allowing for guild owned villages. The cities will also have non-instanced housing/apartments. It did mention that you can mount the heads of slain beasts in addition to placing furniture within your home.

    I'm all for pre-determined lots. SWG's housing was ridiculously unmanaged.

    Do you see a problem here? DAoC housing WAS instanced, that's how they were able to add on more housing areas so easily, it didn't effect the actual world.

    No,  housing is NOT instanced.  It's in the real world, very similar to how SW:G handled housing.

    Housing in Vanguard will be a bit like in UO, but with a twist.
    In UO you didn't have any planning restriction, so you would often see houses built on top of each other, sometimes blocking each other entrance and things of this sort.
    In Vanguard you will be able to build only in certain spots, but you will still have enough land available in order to give you the freedom to build anywhere you want, without ruining the landscape.

    In Vanguard you will need the help of crafters in order to build your house, so after buying a plot of land, you will need to gather a good team of crafters to build the house of your dreams.
    I am really looking forward for this feature.

    Player housing / cities might not make release.  So we should all have time to get ready for this content.

    Not only will you have to depend on crafters to build your house, you also need diplomats to get you NP approval to buuild your house.  This is all part of Sigil's plan to make each of the three spheres interdependant upon each other.

    They have said that it is doubtful that the full workings of player cities will be in at release. Such as diplomacy for running the city, hiering guards, etc.

    But player housing is already in the game.

    That's because it was the CEO of Sigil that posted it.

    I grabbed the quote from Brad the other day, but not the link.  Anyway, as I understand this infor is current, if not recent:

    <snip>the foundation that needs to be in place before you have player run villages or cities is simply ownership of housing in general, and then being able to store items in your house, mount trophies, etc. As per the article, that tech is indeed already in place and about to be turned on for people to test in beta<snip>

    I don't see why they can't make it like SWG's in fact I think that's the way it's gonna be.

    Fuzzy wuzzy was a bear...
