A strange idea...
« on: October 31, 2002, 10:59:05 pm »
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.  And, once you move out another new player gets into your spot.  These houses would be permanent in the game just like a normal building.  It would add alot of realism.  And if you choose your character to be homeless you can be that way.  Better houses could be bought, and the houses in better spots would be given to the first people who come.

A strange idea, isn\'t it...

cool idea. but planeshifts popularity will grow much more rapidly when there is more to do. and thus attracting more players. eventually there will be a huge need for houses and will probably be to much to keep up with.

Alot of people already come through but leave because they cant read the documents to see this is a tech demo, But especially when we get into beta im sure thousands of people will come through because of the word FREE.

That\'s a cool idea, its like Animal Crossing (don\'t laugh). It would give players somewhere to call home, but wouldn\'t some players hog up the land with castles, palaces, and stuff? On the other hand you wouldn\'t have to pay millions for a hovel like in UO since there would be soo many houses.

Atm, the devs are already putting it in the game, with the exception that you\'ll start without a house.
Later when you got enough money you can buy one.

I think this is the best way; it keeps newbies and player who wont play that long out of the houses (saving up housing spaces), but will encourage long-term players to buy one.

And guys...buying yourself the first time a house is a lot greater then getting it from the game, even if it is a pile of junk. It gives you that extra feeling that you done it all by yourself ;)

Yeah, Xolon is right about that.

And the problem of losing space could be reduced by making housing extremely high priced.


Also, what would be the benifits of owning a house? Other than having a place to call your own.

I suppose it could be your respawn place. And you could store items there.

But will there be any other in game benifit of owning a house?
