Evolving ESO Part 2 Housing / Guild Halls

Yes I like the Idea and Think it should be done with Instanced Islands. (Explain Why)

My preferred option would be:

uninstanced player-built towns in a vast open MAP akin to sanboxifying (and MMOing) the game. Free form land to create the cities however we wish. Complete with personal vendors and wayshrines and crafting stations etc etc.

a mix of old SWG and the new survival games (rust, ark survival etc).

I know that this will never happen though.

Maybe not. But they might be willing to meet you half-way if they sequester the open-world housing away from the rest of the world by creating something akin to housing island or a housing district. Put a loading screen in front of it and odds are it won't affect your in-game experiences unless you deliberately want it to.

Out of sight out of mind as they say.

Yes I love the Idea and Agree and would like it no matter how! (Explain Why)

@Zorrashi Personally I don't really mind how they implemented in a good way. I think that instanced Islands are the type of thing that ZOS are going to do most likely.

They're cool, but not my cup of tea.

My first step to this was HOW this would be implemented and I cam up with a few ideas.

- Instanced Islands:

Interesting but a number of people have voiced an interest in showing off their houses which is difficult to when instanced. If you ignore the "Showing Off" Aspect then I think it's not a bad idea, about on a par with the "Door to Oblivion" housing some people suggest

- Harborage House:

I like that but the "showing off" issue still hampers it.

- Buying Plots Of Land:

This is similar to the Door to Oblivion concept that some have proposed otherwise alternatively equal to the current Guild Trader setup.

- Guild Halls:

I want a Guild Hall setup regardless of whether Player Housing is involved. I think it might be possible the "Log Horizon" Way where it's a bank and corridors with doors. The doors lead to instanced space which is rented from the bank. Hmmm.... That's be an interesting way to introduce every Guild having a "private" (in that it's not seen by everyone passing through the area) Guild Trader only accessible by entering in the Guild Zone.

The problem with the "Door to Oblivion" instance suggestions is the inability to "show off", personally I don't want to show off so I'm fine with any of them. What gets to me though is that if it is instanced then what's the point of hosting it on the server? They might as well set it up to be a "Addon" style of Folder where whatever you decide to take into the "house" can be listed as removed from inventory (but a list kept on the server as being in the house). The house/land itself could then be a model system kept on your hard drive only accessible by you, where equipment taken in there is tracked by the system but not in your inventory.

@Woolenthreads I mentioned that you would be able to take people to your instanced island house if you were the leader of the group, if that is 'showing off' enough.

As a paranoid I think there are so many reasons that is a bad idea yet I know some people would think it's ok. Still it's all about friends right?

@Woolenthreads Well. There wouldn't be any real reason to be paranoid they'd only be able to get their by you being the leader of the group and giving your permission. In addition nothing of yours will be able to be taken. Although I had an idea of having shared homes. When you and up to 4 others on your friends list can all use and share the same home / island.
