This is something that has been on the back of my mind for years and I really want to put it out there. I don't like making two topics on the same day but whatever, here's the idea.
The current housing system isn't instanced like BDO or other MMOs and it causes a lot of overhead for SE. As a result we have a housing crisis and it's problematic.
There are apartments which are probably instanced because the amount available are procedurally created (Whoo!) so we know the system already exists.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Airship / (Water) Ship system:
Think about using the apartment system for a second and now pair it up with a player owned ship or air ship. Heck, why not a submarine? There are so many possibilities but the idea is that you can have your very own apartment-like setup where it is
1. Instanced based
2. Fully Immersive other than sailing it
Meaning, you could decorate the top of the deck, interior, etc...
With that said, you could even go beyond and have an instanced mini-island if you really wanted to.
---------------------------------------------------------------
In the end, this would lower the demand for houses, reduce the overhead of SE overtime, and provide a new end-game which would be "building your ship".
+ Crafters would benefit
+ Gatherers would benefit
+ Player / FC Friendly
+ Saves SE money
+ Size of your ship (maybe island?) depends on how much gil you want to sink!
+ The system is already there for it (Easy to implement*)
---------------------------------------------------------------
What do you guys think of this idea? Love? Hate? Have improvements? Let's talk!
