None stated. Was there an interview or QnA where ArenaNet said that would be a goal or focus?
filmoret: One thing I have never figured out is why the game devs hardly ever fix simple problems that arise. It is like they don't care about the pvp community. Nitth: What makes you so sure its a simple fix? filmoret: Because most of them are. Sometimes its just changing a number in a code string other times its creating a few variables. However none of them should take over a few hours of coding. |

I thought they said they planned on bringing in player housing at some point?

Originally posted by Smokewood Yes, there are plans for player housing and guild halls.

I'm a big fan of user created content. I would love an expansion or add on (to any theme park mmo for that matter) that would allow user created content, player housing, player ran shops, etc....

Originally posted by MMOExposed The talk was actually of Airships being Guild Housing :D There are plans for Player Housing being added, though likely not in a format you will want if you are a big Sandbox fan. Player run shops and other sandbox features are highly unlikely. GW2 is (IMHO) an amazing virtual world but it is 100% a themepark virtual world. |

Originally posted by Stx11 Correct, and if there will be any player-housing in future, it will be themepark-style player housing, which again has nothing to to with a sandbox feature. played: Everquest I (6 years), EVE (3 years) |

from a similar link http://www.guildwars2guru.com/topic/18447-guild-info-discussion-thread/page__st__180#entry887047 We will introduce player housing at some point after launch, and at that time we will also implement guild halls. EQNext press http://EQ3Wire.com EQ2: Freeport server |

Player housing is not a feature that defines a sandbox style game in any way, in fact more theme parks have it than sandboxes. I'm not sure that any MMORPG feature can be exclusively tied to either game design, (perhaps more of a matter of degree?) but one things for sure, the way GW2 is currently designed it will never be a sand box style game. That road wasn't taken a long time ago and there's no going back.
