I want to live in a cabin across from a broken bridge like in Evil Dead, that would be sweet. But if I can\'t maybe a nice tower overlooking the town. Or better yet, a castle by the sea, that sort of cliche story book stuff. Here\'s an idea that probably won\'t make it. what about platforms in the trees? Like in Lord of the Rings, the elves of Lothlorien let the Fellowship sleep on thee things since they didn\'t live in the ground. Just a thought. As for housing perks, having a place to call your own is enough for me, but it would be nice if you could do things like make an evil lair and summon monsters to guard it for you (sorta like Dungeon Keeper).

What if everyone started out with thier own house? You could begin in a small little apartment, and then whenever you feel like it change to another residence.

Ohh and lets call it the Sims!

Instead of starting with a house one should start with a tent where they can set up anywhere (Unless its a no build zone) in witch guards or someone will stop you.

Ofcourse these tents really dont serve much for item protection as they are easy to break into but just something simple for players to have when they start up, Dont need to be Pre-Built in mass\' and would also be a nice tool for people who go on long adventures away from there homes.

Sleeping in tents instead of on the ground should give some benifits over just keeling over and getting rest anywhere.

Just my opinions:
I don\'t think you should start out with anything (or maybe a tent at most as the dude above me said). That way you have a feeling of achievment when you get a house. Of course houses shouldn\'t be too expensive so that getting a small hut will not make you the king and queen of cheese.

House uses:
1) A place to call your own and be proud of.
2) A place to rest and heal. Maybe you should heal faster and have faster stamina growth when you\'re in a house and even bigger when you\'re at home.
3) A place to store your booty.
4) A place to start a shop meaning money will come in.
5) A place to have lots of various nifty things like blacksmithing stuff (anvils, forges), training stuff (target, dummies, punchbags etc) scholarly stuff (bookcase, writing desk, globe/stalagmite), cooking stuff (stove, small flour mill) and the similar stuff.

House building:
The one thing that bugs me in a lot of games is the deed system where you buy a house deed and then place it anywhere you want. A much better aproach would be to realy build the house at the designated spot. To build a hovel you would need a good builder and a few laborours to do the menial stuff. To build a palace you would need architects, good builders, laborours and an extensive supply system. This makes the game more realistic and adds atmosphere. Castles after all should take ages to build.

Maybe when you start the game, you can be a homeless traveler, or you could simply own, like people said before, a tent. And also, the starting locations. If you start out with a tent, where will all the tents be? In your inventory space? Apartments, where will they be located? I think that everybody should be homeless, and once they get some money, they can buy a tent to carry around.  And on and on until they get themselves a castle, or better.

Another thing, too.  I think that we should have some other low quality home as our newest permanent home to buy/build, unless you want to save money to buy a larger home. I believe that one of them is in Tropico, but I forget what they\'re called. You know, the ones the citizens build themselves when you don\'t supply them with houses.

A word about tents:
Like Killz4Thrillz said, tents should be able to be carried around, except for the fact that they would be heavy to carry. Perhaps if you log out, your character would pitch camp and the tent would be locked, and when you log back in, some health and/or mana would be regained, and you can do that, too, whenever you want to when you\'re online. Also, maybe you can enchant or buy enchanted tents. Enchanted tents would serve different uses better(Duh). Also, there could be a thing like a tent, except higher quality and more features. Kind of like those portable homes, except with some changes.

Somehow, I get a mental picture of a wagon with oxen...

Get them before they multiply!
Although I must admit, the sig is nice, to say the least. And the site, well...i laughed my ass of. \"The Knights That Say \"ni\"\" are my new role models. Now, where can I get some action figures of my newly found friends?
