Just wondering how ownership will be dealt with
Does the owner/buyer
own it perpetually meaning even if the owner is dead and dust in RL? (Obviously a waste of resource to the community)
do the owner still own it if he/she leave the game for a while say 6 months or a year than come back?
have the ability to transfer the ownership to another player?
And how about an official mortgage system (borrow to buy) with official interest rates (fluctuating of course) -this would be a good smimulation of RL regarding bugeting, repayments, repossession etc. Hmm long term commitment ..... can keep a player in PS for life ..LOL

If the player dies in RL, how can the devs know?
If the owner leaves for some time and has bought the house, not rented, then it should still be his house when he returns. Like in RL noone is gonna sell your house if you are going to travel around the world for 6 month, same ingame, the character could just decide to spend some time in the other levels of yliakum while the player takes an outtime of the game, but since houses are limited in game there should be some kind of timeout for when the house will go back to the government. like noone uses (enters) the house for about a year (or whatever period you'd like) the government decides to take back the house as their property and sell it again (this would also take the death of a player into account, as asked by you)
There are given out 9 keys to start with and the government can make more keys if needed. there is no fixed ownership as of yet, so everyone who has a key can use the house. It is technically also possible that the lock can be changed (by changing the lockID, but thats something the devs have to decide how it is gonna be happen ingame)
Yet the houses have been implemented in this release for the first time and still need some testing until everything is properly set up, so just be patient and wait for more houses to come and for the ideas the devs present to you about those houses.
