Re: What Happened to Player Owned Housing?
I've always been surprised WoW didn't add instanced player housing, but then, hard to argue with WoW's continuing growth/success.
One of the features we're going to be launching a few months after Earth Eternal releases is our Groves system, which is basically a player-housing system except you don't just get a house, you get an entire island, or an entire valley, etc, in which to place anything from forests to buildings to creatures. You can even get a Grove with your guildmates and all hang together. If we can get the tools working well enough for users, we may even allow them to alter the 3d terrain in their Groves, retexture the ground, etc etc. They'll also be able to do things like embed mini-games into their Groves, embed various services normally tied to cities (merchants, skill trainers, shops) into the Groves, and more.
Should be pretty cool!
