Bring housing SOCIAL features into the base game?

Two years that Homestead is there but... still nothing for a social game experience of housing. One's home is one's home, fair enough. But what about Guilds? What about open Roleplay places?

Everybody is left in one's own bubble... Meeting up in one's house seems complicated and very limited (Only 1 primary residence per player... No "guild hall" tag at all... and so on).

Fine gamedesign solutions exists. Just have a look on what SWTOR did with its "keys" system.
Just have a look on the addon PTF (Port To Friends' House).

It's doable!

Yes, why not. Social would be a fine bonus for Homestead.

    What kind of solutions do you suggest? I'm not familiar with the keys system in SWTOR. I would be for there being more of a reason for people to visit one's house though. Would make decorating it feel a lot more valuable.

    There are some improvements wanted, but I'm not sure my list would agree with yours, so I'm not picking any of your options.

    I'd like to see guilds able to designate a guildhall other than by it being someone's primary residence. But my solution would be to have a specific guildhall instance in a building designed for that purpose, not just a re-worked residence. I'd be happy enough if all guilds had a choice of only one (instanced) location, if it had its own wayshrine. Guildhalls need different rules for furnishing slots, and would also benefit from having separate cells for crafting and duelling, even if that's just indoors and outdoors. Higher player limit, at the possible expense of furnishing slots.

    I'd like to have a primary residence per character, instead of per player, even if some characters prefer to live together and have the same residence.
