In my opinion, it should be 12 for medium houses, 18 for large houses and 24 for manors.

In MY opinion ALL those numbers should at least be doubled! LOL

I say:
Small - 6
Med- 12
Large - 24
Manors - 48

Isn't there a PTS poll and another thread on this same topic. Maybe it was locked.

I'm not buying the performance excuse for any number smaller than 24. They can set the number where they want, the caps of 2 for an inn, 4 for a dungeon and 6 for an apartment show that the increment can be fine tuned, and the large homes are pretty close in physical size to the manors. People who want housing for social things will be inclined to pass up large homes for medium if they both stay capped at 12 players.

The funny thing is, that large house you have there (Foresaken Fortress), is the biggest house in the game. It's bigger than all the manors, yet it has half their visitor capacity.

I get that there has to be an incentive to get the manors, since they are terrible value. But it makes zero sense that large and medium houses have the same capcity.

Foresaken Fortress and Mathiisen Manor are bigger than any of the manors, yet they have a cap of 12. Hundings Palatial Hall and Strident Springs Demesne have bigger yards than both the DC and EP manors. They also have a cap of 12.

At least give large houses a visitor capacity of 18.

The most important thing to take away from it is this: You CAN see what the player caps are for each house, but only AFTER you have BOUGHT IT! Yes, really. The player cap is NOT in the preview of the house anywhere. Only AFTER you have purchased it will you see an option to "Browse" and then you will see THIS:



That they would HIDE this information and not give it to you BEFORE purchasing just leaves me speechless.

This right here. While I think even the 24 cap is ridiculous I'll accept that it's the highest number they can manage without some nebulous "performance issues." But it is the LOWEST number that is AT ALL useful. The large houses, which are overall no smaller than the hideously expensive mansions, absolutely MUST be able to hold 24. There's no reason at all they cannot.

Further, even without the insane prices of the mansions, I'm just NOT interested in them. Each is a boring retread used over and over in the game world and the giant gaping ill-conceived spaces within them, that bear absolutely no relation to their outside design, are nothing more than potential furniture dumps as people try frantically to make all that giant empty space not seem completely awful.

The large houses at least gave us some variety and choices... or so we thought. Then they made them completely useless, despite being the most attractive homes in the game, by imposing this ludicrous 12 player cap. It's just wrong.

Honestly. I don't know why there is a player cap at all. Are they afraid it will lag like Cyrodiil?

"Tom! Check out my orchids...***! Dashboarded!"

I think large houses should allow 24 people, but if they absolutely need to have a lower cap it should be 18. 12 is simply too few.

The player cap is absolutely ridiculous, but even worse is that they don't tell you what the cap is until AFTER you buy the house. Why, ZOS?

Why is there even a limit? I think people might except some FPS drops if they have 50 people in there house. This really kills any chances of guild halls or big RP events. Is this a console limitation holding PC back?

If the reasons are more technical network reasons and it will be laggy and people getting kicked from the game, that's just pretty sad. I mean there was housing back in 2004 in EQ2 that could have tons of people in them with no issues except maybe some FPS drops.

So I created a guild hall poll cause it seems more of a technical decision

The poll is about using premade building instances as guild halls to hold maybe 50 to 100 folks.
