A big no. If I remember correctly, Aion had same thing, house prices were around 100m+ and none of them were empty. In ESO, not only you spend a lot of money for houses, but also for furniture to being able to be creative. Also, this would cut crown store houses. Stop trying to limit us more, furniture limit is enough.

For real this time.

No no to the no no

Literally the worst idea I've EVER seen on here. May the fleas of a thousand camels infest your armpits for even suggesting it.

It would perhaps be interesting, from a social experiment point of view, but I doubt it would work.

I think you would need to set up a dedicated (extremely large) MMO housing simulator game to be like that, from the start, for this idea to have even a chance of working.

As you would need huge maps in general and huge towns and cities, in particular, full of houses and apartments of every size and type (which you could then add to, if and when necessary), to make sure there were enough to go around, without increasingly insane house prices.

Otherwise, you would end up with the situation we have in the UK, at the moment.

Where, due to decades of gangster economics, the selling off (and intentional non-replacement) of social housing and the failure to build enough housing in general, house prices are through the roof (pun duly noted) and people are either in massive debt, for a hovel, or unable to buy anything at all.

The only people owning anything they got for even a half reasonable price (before this madness was fully imposed on us) being well over 70, by now.

The game equivalent of that, of course, being super-rich original players owning multiple mansions, they got for a song; vs homeless newer players, without the means for even a small apartment.

Or in other words, no.

I agree with the majority here that this would not be a welcome addition to housing. Firstly, many have already bought homes - the SAME homes - under the current system. Under the new system, you'd have to figure out a way to deal with the fact that many players already have the same house in the same place. You'd have to move all of those homes and then players would fight over the location of their version of the home? Or you'd just leave all current houses alone?

Second, it would be difficult to incorporate the system with the Crown Store only homes. No one would want to have to pay rent on a home that they purchased with real money. I guess then CS only homes would still be ones that are in a specific place that everyone has access to? Then what about the homes that are in-game but can also be purchased through the store? Those would still remain as is, I suppose?

So, even if this were implemented, the current housing would most likely have to remain as is, with new housing being like the system you propose. Which would mean that very few would participate in it, if they were just able to continue with the way things are now.

I can't see them even bothering to come up with something like this, as it would mean pretty much scrapping the current system.

I'd rather they implement other things to make the current housing more interesting AND functional. They should put development time toward improvements, not a complete rework into a system that I highly doubt would be welcome.

Let's have more functional guild houses - port to guild house (for non-PC players), e.g. Banker and merchant at guild house can provide access to guild bank/store and can repair gear. More interactive furnishings in our homes (sleeping in beds, e.g. - an emote like sitting in chairs and not one that has to provide a bonus).

This is exactly why I migrated away from Aion even if I loved the lore and old aesthetic. Housing was interesting to me, but it just wasn't fun at all with the dues even on the smallest of houses.

OP must be a masochist >_>

Oh yeah, losing a house worth 80€ and a few million gold while on holiday sounds like a lot of fun.

No.

No! One of the reasons I quit Final Fantasy XIV was its restricted and reclaimed housing model.
