Houses we could place?

Recently I was watching my niece play another game. They have the ability to buy a house deed which they may place on a level piece of land as long as the size of the house fits that plot. For example a large house would not fit on a level piece of ground unless the area was big enough to accommodate it, where a smaller house might fit.

You of course could enter the house, decorate it, etc as we can now. Storage would be the same as we currently can do now.

You also could place vendors (you have to buy/rent) in front of the house with items you could sell on each vendor and it costs gold per week to keep them employed. How many was dependent on the size of the house. This could be in addition to the AH which of course should stay.

When people are traveling they would be able to see the type of house you have placed etc, the vendors you may have etc. And we all know we would stop and see what was for sale.

The cost was several million dollars and much higher depending on what type of house for that house deed. You could in addition to gold sell certain house deeds with Diamonds. Those would be luxury homes. More rooms, patio spaces, more storage spots etc.

The other highlights I liked were you could sell the placed house if need be to other people. ie: If you wanted to move to another location, Upgrade to a larger house etc.

I propose we could do the same thing for the following reasons.

1) Guilds could set up neighborhoods if they wanted to.
2) People who prefer to be mostly alone could find a secluded place.
3) Have a favorite instance or place you visit, just move to that area.
4) People perhaps would be inclined to spend real money to get diamonds to get the larger and more elaborate houses.

I hope this makes sense with my rambling. Comments or suggestions? Like or dislike some of the features?

I think I know which game you're talking about. Now, while that could be nice, they would need to entirely rework the house system and make the maps even larger (as that would just clutter up the area). I'm not for or against it, I just don't see it being implemented.

Agree with Zerienga. There are lots of things that would be "nice to have" in the game but the hard part is justifying the costs involved to make the changes and how much it would affect the game experience.

As it would be nice to have your house where you would want it, I think Runescape handled this situation well, but instead of a house maid you had a portal that had your house in it, but you had your house within a different location of the game, you could teleport to your house and be in that area, for instance, I could be on the other side of the world and teleport to my house, which was at another location in the world and it effectively was an entirely new teleport in of it's own.

However having it in the world would be interesting, however considering we run into the fact of how many people may or may not show back up, how are we to have the houses in the game? Or Perhaps one thing that could happen is player owned territory, where you can make the area yourself and other people can either visit it or have it be set to private/guild only etc etc, that sort of thing.

But regardless of what happens though it'd be an interesting feature to have none the less.
