I was recently just wandering around when i found and Npc named Lu Pan at 688, 796 and he talks about "Homeland," a "Construction Skill (Unavailable)," and a "Furniture Maker (Which also says Unavailable)" anyone know anything about this guy? it seems pretty far off considering that it says the Construction Skill and Furniture Maker r unavailabe and when u click on the "Homeland" option it says "Unfunctional Service." if anybody know's any info about this, i'd be happy to know :)

    It could be remnants from the original version/source (Chinese).

    But these guys do add things in slowly in the background unannounced, patch after patch, until the official release, just as they have done with the Lost Empire expansion and the christmas events....so who knows? b:mischievous

    It's a future update. Some stuff about it can be found on Youtube already, if you want to see.

    I thought the housing system is only available to the paying players on PW-MY. I was told housing is never coming to PWI.

    Kelebek, as far as I can tell, that's not quite accurate. The Perfect World I (subscription model) housing system has been dropped. There's no information available about long-distance plans for future updates at this time.

    This might be a bit of topic, but when I went to went tzu today I saw a new npc close to it.
    I talked with it to check it out, because he looked weird.
    He gave me the option to refine.

    Does this mean that materials can be refined? like oil to create concentrated oil, perfect oil?

    Oh please do...and do it right! Dont instance it, or make it apartments...let us build a house where we want and put anything we want in it, where ever we want. Is that asking to much?

    It'd have to be instance, otherwise you'd be walking through thousands of houses when you grind, just won't work. Maybe have different spots for people to make houses, but still be instanced?

    the npc is just a relic from a removed system

    Its possible that the housing and all the related quests and maps is still in the game but just disabled. Maybe in future updates they will turn it on again and add more items to the cash shop to compliment it. -Might be related to the extra bank slots.

    errr it takes a huge toll on server requirements to host individual housing facility for like a few thousand(+) players on PWi. kinda not possible even with all the income they make from the PWi cash shop.
    it was released in PW-Cn cause that was pay to play.
    id rather play PWi for free than having to start to pay for some kind of a virtual house.

    Yeah, the Housing is from loooooooooooooooooooooong ago when PWmy was still a P2P they took it out however when it went F2P because it was so taxing on the servers. There has never been any mention of bringing it back. However there has been talk of using some of the relics left over from it in future events/expansions. (such as the mysterious items) This is all based on what I've herd though and not 100% definate by any means.

    I played that game a few years back and so I'd have to agree it'd be a lot better for the houses to be instanced. It was so annoying to see so many houses just about everywhere. And I remember when they added another facet or w/e they called it and within 30min or so every single spot that you could place a house was taken. The only up side I can think of to doing it like that was the npc vendors players could put out, might depopulate west arch a bit ;).

    As the technology and game coding evolves, it is possible, if not likely, that in the future they will come up with a way that housing will not be as taxing on the servers as they once were. When the technology, hardware or software, gets to this point then PWI may reinstitue this feature.

    I dont think a house has to be even instanced. Same as our banker (the bank is not a real physical bank).

    I think the house, should be like a "share" in a company (but in this case is a share in the city/town) that allows you to store items as the banker does but with the catch that stored items could be stolen from your house if your city/town is raided by enemy guild in TW.


    You could buy/rent a house from a guild controling a city/town or territory.

    Renting a house could have many benefits as higher HP due to better health, better manufacturing due to having your own shop (in case you are renting a shop)in the city.

    So the house, could be an NPC same as the banker.

    Just ideas. b:victory

    I dunno if I really consider 3 months necroing or not. Its getting there but not quite there yet. Eh, but everyone has their own opinion on it.

    it wont be so harsh on the servers if only a few people have houses and the only way to limit the amount of ppl is by making them pay fr the service but not the whole game itself.
