First I would just like to say I am very excited about this game as I love the freedom to do what I want, when I want to and how I want to. I do have a couple of questions though. First, does anyone know anymore about Player Housing. I want to be able to get a house pretty quickly and not have to grind for ages to get one. I want to be a merchant and be able to open my doors to anyone in the day and close them at night. How will placing houses work? Will they be set locations or can we place them anywhere? Second, I am a little concerned about the company making the game, they are not big so am assuming they dont have huge resources at their disposal. Does anyone think that maybe the game we are all hoping and praying for perhaps is a bit too big for them? |

www.mmorpg.com/gamelist.cfm/game/4/view/forums/post/2279589#2279589 That is a link to the thread in this forum for questions like this that a lot of the fans have been answering. The last post I made there touched on your first question about housing. In terms of the company size...funcom is a huge company that was well funded yet is probably one of the worst mmo developers and managers in the history, so i wouldnt buy too much into size of the company. They are well funded and have been hiring a lot of new employees lately. Though this is their first mmo but they arent new to development, so there is some room for doubt about how well they can run it, but we will see. ~~ Darkfall Recap of everything that has happened the last 3 months: http://www.mmorpg.com/discussion2.cfm/thread/213296 "The monsters are tough.

I have to agree, outside of Blizzard, large companies have really not shown any great ability to succeed in releasing a good MMO vs the smaller ones. Let's give Aventurine a chance and see how it goes.

I've been wondering the same thing. Other than that POH's will supposedly exist, we don't know anything. In the video, building's rise instantly from the ground, so I would suppose that buildings are purchased (as opposed to having to craft the walls). I haven't heard anything about the usefulness of houses, or if there will be customizable interiors, or if they can be looted, or anything else. We know about as much about POHs as about crafting in general... i.e. practically nothing outside it might exist. |

You guys should go to the Official forumns as much info there as you'll get , i feel the OP is just hoping to catch some flack post is a bit trollie. As far as houses go they can be built within clan cities, within the region covered by a clan stone, all plots are pre allocated . If you are not a member of a clan you need to get permission and the likes to use a plot not ertain that there will be unlimited housing but what there is will be controlled so it doesnt shred the landscape. ________________________________________________________ |

And building will take time to build. Its a feature the devs really liked from Shadowbane thay have said. The buildings in the video are "raised" in high speed, just as they did in the AoC videos. From all we know, it will take many days to build a wall around a city or a house. |

I think most of us who have followed the game last many years have feared that to be the case. They have had delays. It is truely an incredible feat to pull off for such a small team. But at this point they are advertising all over the release of the game this year, and beta next month. So ask me in two months when i tried to play it and I will tell you if they really managed to pull it off or not.
