Q for the devs: Housing?
-
So at this point I am very much on board with this game and plan to invest real money into it. I'm probably going to buy the champion pack before A2-T2 begins but first there's something I want to clear the air on.
There's obviously different housing blueprints available to players, including special 'founder' blueprints available to those who purchase a pack from the store. My question is, have these founder blueprints been made/drawn up yet? I don't much care about the design of the build itself, I'm confident the devs will do a great job on that. I was just wondering if we could get a display of the actual size of some of the constructs (cottage vs villa vs palace) so we know what we're buying with our money. My primary concern being that if I spend the extra money for the palace will it be something viable for building inside of a city, or will it simply be too large?
-
From what I've seen i dont not believe they have been drawn up just yet

@Recoil The devs haven't revealed those blueprints yet. I shall ask Prometheus what the sizes for those buildings are.
I doubt they'll be too large though, I believe the largest houses are no bigger than 5x5. (The basic house in the last test was 3x3).

Awesomesauce, lmk what he says!!

Oh wow no castles or towers like UO? I figured more housing options would come after launch. Land maps are still going to expand to accommodate more housing as space on planets are used up for placing?

If the houses are going to get bigger then 5 X 5 I want lifetime free Cleaning NPC as well.

I can confirm that the backer houses won't be bigger than 5x5 at most. (And I believe the other buildings won't be bigger than that either). It's mainly due to space constrictions really. It would be a shame if one building took up half the space of a city.
@Recoil The backer houses can be placed in a city.

@Specter Thanks amigo!

@Specter I bought Champion, how does the character name claim function work?

@Recoil Names can't be reserved yet.

I can understand the footprint limit. That was one of UO's mistakes allowing castles. The lag loading in those when you walked by on dial up would drop your connection lol. I used housing for storage. Thing was the bigger the house the more storage you got. I did see alot of people going all out on decorating. If you could get them to load in they were cool.
