YES YES YES!! I loved crafting things for my house in Vanguard. I love the idea of showing off trophies (like Lotro) and even finding things out in the world to decorate my house with (quest rewards anyone, a la EQ2?)
If you do create player housing, I beseech you to make it item limited (can't just throw stuff on the ground) but don't make it that you can *only* place this item here, or that item there (like lotro).
I would love to see something comprehensive (much like its own mini game) to putting things into a home, but limit small houses to a certain number of items and scale it upwards based on square footage of the house.
And please! Allow us to place mannequins in the home (a la Skyrim----> big thanks on that!) so we can show off armor sets we really like..(or for the crafters like I was in Vanguard) or show off the types of armors we can make.
Weapon stands as well! To show off those weapons to we were/are fond of!
I would like housing communities as well! Like in lotro. I realize this might be unrealistic, but I did the love the idea that you got discounts in stores and I liked the concept that players could get together and socialize (and have RP events as well!)
