Well I am going to try to make a \"hv city\" consisting of the houses of the members of helmora velsha.  I will try to make if a stronghold and a very difficult city to attck.  Of course, it will be deep in the DR.
My own house wont be very big sice I wont be home much.  It will kind of be just a small place to come and rest.

I vote we overrun HV City, with a plague of do-gooders and neutrals who just want to annoy the villain formerly known as FESFES.

I think houses could be somewhat useful.  Sleeping in there would not be a long process.  You just say you wanna sleep, the screen blacks out, comes back on, and all your stats are restored.  Animal trainers could keep their animals in there.  Or it could be used to conduct magic rituals(if any are added in Planeshift, I certainly will not want to be disturbed while performing one).

My house would be one of two things:

A huge mansion with all the works.  Floating crystals, lightning flashing all the time, always dark, animals flying around the high towers, and my own beasts to guard the entrance.  I would have my own meditation/magic chamber in there where I can meditate or conduct magic rituals or hone my magic skills.  A library full of books filled with knowledge that only I and a choice few people would have access to.  My mansion would be surrounded by a magical force field, and my doors would always be magically sealed.  It would take an equally powerful magician as myself to manage to break in(I\'m not powerful now, but I would be then.)

Or....

An average everyday hut.  Just to keep people from knowing that it was I, the great and powerful Bartimus, who lived there.

The first is very, very unlikely, but would be awesome.

I often wonder about some of the finer points of why anybody would want to own their own place in a role-playing game. Sure it?s always nice to have your own pad however the question always remains why?


That \'s elementary my dear Watson .. roleplaying.

Houses of your own and especially castles, Villa\'s, ... add a whole lot to the roleplaying experience. People can raise stores, hotels, bars, taverns, banks, jails, ... they can even create a PS-type Las Vegas. Imagine the possibilities.

Now to the more technical aspects of this .. I think that we only need a few basic blueprints. Say a cheap one, average one and an expensive one. (note that this doesn\'t include castles etc.) Now obviously the builder can turn their house any way they want, giving a bit of diversity already. Then I think by letting people edit some aspects you can already have a lot of different buildings. Just edit the skin to get a house made out of bricks, wood, clay, marble, ... Then another very important aspect for future business owners, I think that people should be able to put up their own banner on their house, just upload a .jpeg or .gif file somewhere and it gets placed on the house.

Then of course furniture, well you have all that already. The NPC houses are full of furniture. Of course there can be some more expensive and unique furniture for sale but the basic furniture is already all over the game. Here as well we can work with some different skins on the same objects again.

Yep, I\'d love a treehouse too. Maybe also with an Ewok pet.

1st choice: A room in castle, on upper floors, castle is on a                    lone cliff, made of dark stone, as far away from cityes as possible, but still at least one city in line of sight...
bit utopic(hope i wrote it right)

2nd choice: Stone house, roof made out of hay (tatched? roof), inside everything a blacksmith ever will need: furnace, several anvils, hammers, enough room to keep all the ores and goods...
And of course a place to sell anything I manufacture
House should be placed near a mine, and also quite near to some small town...
