Housing guest book

CynicalCow900 · February 2017

Hi, I'm pretty new to the forums so please be kind?
I'm not sure if I'm even posting this in the right place but, I thought it would be good if there was a guest book facility for the houses. You could see who had been to visit and maybe they could leave comments?

Edit:
It's so nice to see that people agree!
I think it's probably a good idea for comments in a guest book to be not only optional, but visible only to the home owner as some of you have suggested.

so simple yet so brilliant!

Karivaa · February 2017

I would love it!

Lukums1 · February 2017

+1 to you sir.

I'd love the ability to perhaps "write a name in" in a blank field in housing to teleport to said persons house might be asking for too much!

Good idea mate

Bleakraven · February 2017

That'd be great, especially for those of us setting up inns and hangouts

Briolase · February 2017

This is an awesome idea.

LordGavus · February 2017

I like it, good idea.

jlboozer · February 2017

Good idea!!

I think it would be awesome to have this. It might have to be restricted to "sign your name" so that it shows up who visited when, but doesn't allow people to actually write notes though, in order to prevent people from trolling. Or just have any notes people want to add in addition to their names be restricted so that only the owner of the home can see them (because then it would be no worse than sending someone a mail - you wouldn't have every visitor looking at a guest book full of *** *** *** *** or something stupid like that).

Great idea!

LMar · February 2017

Only if it was an automatic list. Wouldn't want trolls writing whatever in there

Danikat · February 2017

I'd love this.

Maybe there could be two options - one with names only and one with free text for people who don't mind the risk of trolls.

SuperLarrio · February 2017

This is a great idea.

I wouldn't mind a place-able "guest book" that just auto logged who came over. Just to know and help narrow down the light turn off trolls lol

Lord_Wrath · February 2017

Im offended!

I mean...good idea! Itd really be nice to know if you had visitors.

NightHawkRaven · February 2017

100% agree with visitor book, I'd love to know who if anyone visits.

Winchester1306 · February 2017

So simple yet brilliant. I totally love this idea.

100% agree that @ZOS_GinaBruno and @ZOS_JessicaFolsom should look at having the team implement this item for your house.

R1ckyDaMan · February 2017

Am I missing something or can you visit random peoples houses? otherwise you would know exactly who was in your house (or should do).

freespirit · February 2017

@R1ckyDaMan if you open up your house to a 500 man guild it's not that easy to know who's visited and who hasn't

Edit:- I also love this idea

NewBlacksmurf · February 2017

Good idea.
Maybe some crafting achievement thingy

menedhyn · February 2017

A lovely idea!

You can set it so your entire guild is allowed to visit. (Actually come to think of it I'm not even sure if it has to be your guild, I think you just type in the name of a guild.)

Even if you add an individual it's not a one-off, as long as they're on the list they can come in whenever they feel like it.

AdamBourke · February 2017

This is a great idea.

I also like the idea that someone suggested above - maybe have names and notes, but only the list of names (and visited time) is visible to other guests, the notes are only visible to to owner... Notes should maybe disappear after 30 days like mail, but names should remain for as long as possible.

(Also, there should be variants of the actual guestbook item, but they should all link to the same guestbook (per house). I'm thinking open book and scroll at least, maybe with and without lecterns).

Oreyn_Bearclaw · February 2017

We were talking about this in my guild the other day. Excellent idea!

R1ckyDaMan · February 2017

Ahh right, im not in a guild, good idea though for the people in big guilds I suppose.

WallaceNine · April 2017

This is a very good idea.

Sordidfairytale · April 2017

I like the general idea of allowing people to add their names to a guest book. If it's automatic and it's a large list then the database has to check to see if the person is already on the list. And then it's doing that for a number of houses/instances.

I'd also like it if there were comments, but they were moderated. I'd have to approve them in my guestbook before they were allowed to be public in other words.

Additionally, you can enter anyones home if they have it set that anyone is granted visit rights. (default setting iirc) I was visiting a guild mates house when someone from a PUG traveled to me and was able to visit my guildmates house. Despite the PUG not being in our guild or even friends with my guildmate. Prophetically the PUG mentioned how cool it would be to sign a guest book then.

ZOS_GinaBruno · April 2017

Cool idea, @CynicalCow900! We passed this along to the housing crew to see if this is something we can consider implementing in the future.

kylewwefan · April 2017

Just the other day we were going to guildies homes and jumping their beds.

Very simple idea yet so satisfying, hope this gets implemented
