World of Warcraft: Player Housing

How Blizzard has missed its once-in-a-life-time opportunity to implement player housing.

World of Warcraft: Player Housing

I for one think this would an AWESOME addition to the game. The idea of owning a house on an MMO has always appealed to me, but the major arguement I run into is, "Why don't you just play The Sims?" If you ask me that's a lame copout arguement that tries to shame (men don't play The Sims...period) a person into submitting.

If you ask me, there's no difference between owning an awesome house or owning awesome armor, in the end it's another way for a player to show off their achievements. You like to look good, so why not have a place to make lood good too.

In practical terms, player housing will provide another sinkhole for the economy and the idea of repairing and maintaining a house is very appealing since it's like rent or something.

A guild house for all members of a guild would also be a great alternative to player housing if that's too "girly" for some players. Sure, shacking up with a bunch of dudes is less "girly" than living in solitary loneliness.

"Why don't you just play The Sims?"

First thought that went through my mind. There are dragons to be slain... and we're buying paint for our houses

^^ good point...

We shouldn't be buying ourselves pretty armour and weapons, mounts, fireworks etc. either then.

Let's just create a totally combat MMO like Fury and watch the millions pile up Oh wait

If I can get a comfy recliner then I am back to WoW in a flash!

[Gradius]

Mebe If you could mount trophies of animals you had slain in your house, that would be nice

I'd buy wow, just so I can have a Death-Knight Sorcerror Wizzard that can sit down and play COD in his house.

I'd restart my wow subbies so I can log in and teabag Mappy's DK-sorcerror Wizard in his house while he's playing COD.

The nice thing about player housing in LOTRO is more and shared storage space between chars ... don't have one yet though
