Housing system

Now I heard in other parts of the world that they have developed a housing system. However I also heard that it was really spendy. A housing system would be amazing, especially for faction housing. So instead of having individuals houses, each faction would have the option to build a fort of sorts to meet and so fourth. But the idea of making it so expensive is a problem I think. Even for a faction it could be hard to round up that much coin. So my suggestion would be to create a system where faction leaders and officers can build a "Faction sanctuary" that only their faction could enter. Also it would be cool to be able to allocate a specific territory only for faction housing. I.E. no one could take over that territory, it would be communal land. b:thanks

    Thats a good idea!! But instead of it being on land we could just have a "Faction Teleport" or something and it would be completely off map, just some kind of cave or something. Would be very fun to go hang out in and meet up for TW so it's not crowded where ever they go.

    b:thanks

    Dark Ages of Camelot had a housing system, it was for the players and consignment shops. I like the way this game handles the shops.

    The Guild House Zone would be great, even go outside and go into other guilds houses and be able to hang TW banners on the walls of the territories they have acquired. A guild vault for players to add community items for free to other guildies. With a timer of 2 weeks of course to stop guild hoppers from robbing it blind.

    Yeah this game needs a faction housing. Even if its just chosing from premade setups. But having it fully customizable would be best. Would be kinda neat to have it on basically a whole other map where you can wander around and look at everyone's setup. Maybe put a gate keeper up where people can pay an entry fee to the faction to go wander around the inside would be a good one too. Though it would need an option to ban people from entry should people run around your hall annoying your faction members.

    Yes, a personal faction building where you could meet up with everyone for some possible inside faction events and be able to access everything faction related there as well. On top of that, a housing system where you can buy a house and have more storage inside would be great also, differant decorative layouts to choose from, common household items inside. (pool would be sweet, pool party ftw) Of course i'm not implying that it's going to happen, just a suggestion where you would be able to relax from lvling/questing for awhile in your personal home with guests/friends and interact.

    just want to get this out of my head and in the open
    or instead if your guild has a territory they can build a fort for about 10mi sumthing like thank i dont really know if thats a lot but anyway this fort would make the guild 20k a day and when another guild attacks they get the fort and a eighth of what the old guild made off it(this would start some territory wars)b:laugh b:pleased

    i agree with every1 the faction housing is a great idea, one thing i hate is about guilds are that u never really meet youre guild members, unless u do a fb or something. u could hang and meet youre members, it would be good before going in to TT's and fb's, so u could plan strategy

    How about, instead of having to buy something with a **** load of money that small guilds don't have, your faction house upgrades with your faction. Etc, Tier 3 guilds will have a lot cooler faction house.

    It'd be just a nice place to relax, not be pestered by random morons asking for money, not be in severe laggage all the time (West Archo, anyone?) and where you can just meet each other and trade without having to cross the entire world or ffs, waiting an hour for an item to arrive.

    And yes! I'm sure most guilds have Storage characters or something. We have our mules located at South Archo bank. But it'd be so much easier to just keep them near a teleporter and tele them into the faction house, the other member teles into there too and doesn't have to seriously abort their grinding to fly ten boring minutes to the assigned place. Or better, drive your ferrari (mount) around the place and get merked before you even get there.

    ...Heh, I guess the latter does make the trip a bit more interesting, though.

    There is another game I play where we have our own guild halls and the guild is the only one allowed on it except alliance guilds or guests.

    if you have ever done a world quest (as annoying as they are), and have received a mysterious item...these are used in the housing system which exists on the chinese servers. i tend to keep mine with the hope that someday soon i can build a lovely little mansion for my faction :)

    OMG you know the housing system i found a guy who gives you housing skills and funrtirure making he like on the island of the endless sea near the part where you can't go yet, but ya they should have a housing styem for pwi and guilds wars is a game where its basically a pvp type game and roll play the highest lvl is 20 there 4 expasinions factions,nightfall proh, and eye of the north (i only got 2). BUt the pvp is awsome in that game but you relaly get mad taht lvl 20 is the highest, though the guild hall is a place where any guild member of that guild could go into and hangout or trade or whatever...like a social place.
    Why am i like this cause you made me like this...
    I guess you really didn't know...

    Ya... I've heard that it was just in the "original" PW that was in China.. the PW that we get is the "upgraded" PW or something apparently... I would love a housing system or guildhall stystem, but I highly doubt that they will put it back in.

    After the many threads created on this matter, i have heard somewhere that an official response has been made (by a GM), on the matter if the housing system will be brought back, or not.
    After searching for about an hour and finding no official response, i'm asking: Was an official response actually made? If so, what was the response? If not, GMs could you please enlighten us? b:beg

    I would love to see a faction house system implemented. Even better would be if all faction members were given a skill/item to teleport into the faction house (with maybe a teleport out to Arch or a selected major city).

    I saw a video clip about the Chinese system, and those houses look huge. This would be fine for a guild, but if there's any version made for individuals, I'd want them smaller, maybe 1/4 to 1/5 the size.

    Considering the possibility of adding a whole new set of items to the Cash Shop, I'm surprised it hasn't been added earlier, especially considering that we aren't exactly in competition with the Chinese version.

    A game I played awhile back had personal housing, with the larger and expensive housing being owned by a rich players (that game didn't have a cash shop ... subscription). It would be nice to see something like this implemented (guildhalls).

    the only thing i can add to this is if the other faction members pay to look at our houseing they must first be stripped of all gear and weapons that way they cant attack the faction members

    It's not a faction house, but I believe it'll be implemented 'eventually', I heard that instead it was more of a land based construction, IDK but I've seen some vids on youtube, it does looks pretty interesting.

    Why not have this implemented, lots of things allowing to greater customise the houses/halls could be added to the cashop allowing them to make profit from it, it's a win-win situation for the makers and the players o.o

    Like the teleportation item straight to the house which someone earlier suggested could be in the cashshop along with storage spaces, chairs, tables ect.

    Let's make a petition to have it implemented D:<
