Would you or would you not like to see player housing in WoW...

It seems Blizz is planning on it sometime (they are rethinking it over, it was originally suppose to be in the game), but probably not for WotLK...
 
There are so many issues that need to be fixed before they add another feature that will be buggy and will have 90% of the player base complaining that its not right, forcing fixes on it before fixes on things that need to be looked at. But, that is just my opinion.

I believe they have much of it already done, they even mentioned releasing it with the game, so if they have a feature close to finished, why not release it... Plus I LOVE player housing...
 
But, but...I was just in my house in game yesterday. Complete with handmade furniture, pets, sales crates holding all of the leet loot I've got listed on the broker, my window overlooking the ocean, and plenty of festive Frostfell decorations.

Oh....you mean in WoW... In that case, I can't help you. :cool:

*runs and hides*
 
Not sure what the big draw is for player housing.

I'm out doing quests, I come into town and sell vendor junk, AH or DE stuff, repair my equipment, restock on reagents and move back out. When I'm done for the day, I log off. What do you do with player housing?

"Hey Avesther, we need you to heal our foray into Karazhan"
"I can't, I have to vacuum today and move some furniture around, then there is the dishes"

Whats next, in game marriage:

"Honey, I'm needed to heal Karazhan."
"Ok, but you have be back by 4pm, we are going over to my mothers for dinner. We are raiding her fridge. LOL LOL"

Sorry, doesn't interest me.

LOL, I had such a sweet house in EQ2 and a bunch of pets.
 
But think of the sweet in-home bible studies you could hold?

Personally I think player housing is a total blast. I absolutely love doing quests to get in-house loot. I recently moved from a 1 bedroom to 3bedroom so I could have different wall/ceiling patterns as well as I needed somewhere to store the piles of trophies I am earning from Heritage Quests.

The other day some guildies joined me in my new home on moving day. We spent 2 hours moving everything around. It was like "trading spaces". After we finished making my house look pimp we went to another home and helped her get all decked out. One guildie ran to his woodworking tradeskill station (in his own house no less) and built some matching chairs for her table. Man I had a total blast that night and I didn't even earn any XP!

I am currently working on a store front to my home so ppl who come in to buy my broker items are greeted with a more commercial look instead of staring at my dinner table.

Player housing rocks as it brings new tradeskills, new quests, new social interaction, new competition between friends, new money-sinks and on and on.

LotRO recently added housing and I heard it was a fantastic win. Ask some players there about it and you will hear leaps of joy on how awesome it is. I can testify that EQ2 did a great job with it. If Blizz can't create something that works with all the great examples out there right now, that is kinda sad. It's not like they are churning out new content at any where near the speed the competition is. Where is all that money going?
 
besides, my wife would come in and throw out all of our cool black leather furniture claiming it looks too much like a "bachelor pad"...i'm not bitter or anything, no no no
 
My wife plays the Sims and Harvest Moon games and they all have housing quests, bigger bedrooms, barns, kitchen equipment...not so crazy about a house in WoW.

I mean seriously....Alhana cooking Blackened Basilisk on her new
8 eye stove. "Get outta my kitchen or I'll melt your face!"
 
With epic flying mounts costing 5k gold, I don't even want to think about how much a house would go for...
 
I can't vote on this, because I can't see how Bliz could make this work and make everyone happy. UO used to have an awesome player houseing concept. You designed your own house withing plot sizes, up to 3 stories and a roof. You decorated it with 'finds' or craftables, or layered items together to make it look like something (ie: people created piano's with items found in game) Running around a village you might find a rare spawn of a bowl of fruit for your kitchen. You could even set up a vendor in front of your house to sell stuff you found on your adventures. Just creating the house brought out artistic fun I really miss. I also miss being able to drop things on the ground and watch newbs go crazy seeing if it is something they can use. Unfortunately it created a lot of lag- big draw back. But made guild meeting great! We had a big guild castle and a large meeting room inside. We held events and other stuff from there- made guild activities fun and we all contributed to decorating. We had rooftop waterfalls and gardens, hanging plants, stables, fireplaces and much much more.
 
The guys who have suggested that their wives enjoy games\TV shows like that might now be able to talk their wives into joining WoW with this new upgrade. I can also see how it could give yet another interest to those gamers who have maxed out their level, are tired of raiding etc. If Blizzard did it right *IF being a big statement* they could easily incorporate a small shanty at the start with upgrading being allowed as you level up. And it could help to revive some older places for more "epic" house loot.

On the downside, Blizzard could def. spend their time fixing more pressing issues. Housing could add lag and other nuances. The trick here for them would be to balance the good and the bad as well as they can....either way they are sure to feel heat for it.
 
"Hey hon, I know you have your life full cleaning up after my messing gaming life, can you join me in game to clean my in game housing clean too?"

I don't think it would work.
