Player Housing

Wyrmrest Accord

I just want to go back and re-read allllllll those threads we have had over the years about this.

And then start taking bets.

Which features do we get?

Likely true on all points to the both of you! Still, from a distance, it feels like itā€™d be the end of an era (and not the first, to be fair!); so many of us (relatively speaking) being openly IC in the cities is what gives that sense of RP servers being more creative and ā€œaliveā€ for me, even if it isnā€™t always the perfect experience. Itā€™s the WrA I fell in love with when I first started, and Iā€™d be sad to see it get harder to find. Events are truly great, but I also like spontaneous RP that I donā€™t have to plan for in advance ā€“ itā€™s been wonderful for trying out new character concepts, meeting characters I otherwise might not have, or for those days I can only be on for an hour or two, you know?

Ah, well, Iā€™m getting ahead of myself. Like you guys say, itā€™s a net good on multiple fronts ā€“ even if that means the culture shifts, we wonā€™t really know how until it happens. Iā€™ll try to stay optimistic and keep an open mind 'till then; thanks for responding!

Okay, I saw it. I am reserving my right to give into the hype. Iā€™ve been burned too many times.

Just donā€™t let it be Garrisons 2.0

I am hoping for the best but prepping for the worst. If housing is done ā€œrightā€ the benefits will far outweigh the negatives.

People also thought Garrisons would be the end of walk-up RP, but WoD was, as far as Iā€™m concerned, kind of the golden age for WrA-Allianceā€™s walk-up scene.

Roleplayers who enjoy public walk-up RP will continue to do so, and those that donā€™t already arenā€™t engaging in it so Iā€™m not sure playing housing will make much of a difference there.

But anyway WOO PLAYER HOUSING!! Wish it hadnā€™t taken 20 years, but Iā€™ll take it.

Thatā€™s the cool thing for me right about being guildless. Thereā€™s no pressure of trying to come up with stories for people or tow a guild line. Kina can just be the mildly chaotic beastie that I wanted.

I do worry about free range RP with the introduction of houses. I think it can add something, but it is also going to take something way - it just remains to be see how much.

Iā€™m trying to be positive. Iā€™d love some early reveals though, so we could tell them yaaaas or eww.

The video looked nice, though. Iā€™m betting itā€™s going to be earning assets from raids and pvp for some of the decor like we had in Garrisons. That mug makes me wonder if thereā€™ll be new emotes coming. Will we be able to carry a drink? Set it down?

I just want the housing to be able to host people. Enough people. For an RP. You know, like 40ish people? Full raid.

Cautiously hopeful here. However, my dream of having a proper hermitā€™s residence is one step closer to being realized.

there should be expensive houses in stormwind and then people with the expensive houses in stormwind complain about people without houses are hanging outside their house and have a council to have the guards attack them and flag them for pvp. we will call this new district seawind (seattle+stormwind)

Iā€™m sure most of the stuff on offer will be fairly basic, and I doubt weā€™ll ever get anything as complex as Wildstarā€™s player housing, but I would LOVE to one day have a big weird wizard palace to have big weird wizard parties in.

LFM for One Night in Karazhan RP.

Iā€™m going to hold my judgment for the feature until we see more details, but being able to create my tavern in a customizable space would be really, really nice.

I honestly cannot reiterate enough how much I loved housing in Wildstar.

I spent over a year building up lots for my characters. Not just houses but full environments.

On one lot I had a junkyard, with shipping container storage, a bar, a space port with ships you could enter, a shooting range and bar, an arcade, a custom built home made from storage containers that also served as a mechanic garage and weapon repair shop, a medical clinicā€¦ and a hidden entrance to an underground smuggling and black market den and bar (this character really liked his booze). All custom made from various assets in the game.

I. Want. This. In. WoW!

In SWTOR we would set up our housing bases for everything from meetings to safe houses to spots to RP fighting off incoming attacks. Other people set up space ports, ruins with artifacts, vacation resorts, hospitals, a prisonā€¦it was impressive.

Everyoneā€™s excited for player Housing in WoWā€¦me now very excited for next payday when I can get the WarCraft Remastered Battle Chest.

ā€œYouā€™re as beautiful as the day I lost you.ā€

My boyfriend just got finished telling me about all the stuff you could do in Wildstar housing. Like scaling items? That alone would be pretty sweet! I suppose Iā€™m kinda glad I never got the chance to play that game, because otherwise Iā€™d be chasing a housing unicorn for the rest of my life.

I have been since the game went offline. I am not kidding.

You could dye the color (which was more like tinting, but still useful), scale up and down to extreme sizes, rotate, and place freely in 360 x,y,z axis, then place items inside other items to make custom built creations. There was practically no limit beyond your creativity and imagination.

You can do scaling in Conan Exiles with mods. In CE, you can do everything but terra forming.

  • You can ignore map features and borders.
  • You can build to just about any size you wish.
  • You can resize every deco up or down, so you can take a pup tent and make it huge, for instance.
  • You can create water features.
  • There are rocks you can put above ground but you canā€™t dig the ground.
  • Thereā€™s a mod that lets you do basements in buildings.
  • You can use portals to get to other areas and make the build bigger or off map.
  • There are modders who make different build sets so your walls can look like different types of stone, wood, etc.
  • There are pets, wildlife, farm animals, crops, wagons, elevators.
  • You can create your own dungeons. And set mob spawns.

Thatā€™s all I can think of off the top of my head. But itā€™s super great for building. The modding community there is superb.
