In an interview with thisisgame, the game's designer confirmed that there will be guild housing, the thread in Aionsource isn't totally clear, but they also state that these halls will be destructable also.

There are the first official words talking about player housing aswell, one wonders if it will be at the release or if it will come in the first expansion as it was said before, since they are talking about it in a "what we will see in OB" interview.

So now we have fortress sieges and destructable guild halls, the endgame is getting more and more interesting ^^ can't wait to see the korean OB details.

BTW, if someone here knows Korean, it would be pretty usefull here :P

Hangul

Well unlike most other games NCsoft haven't prommised a grand list of features early on and then cut it out for whatever reason they might have, instead we get new features as they make it in game, which I honestly prefer.

For the announcement; before we can get a better translation im reserved as I noticed in another article it was stated to be in the first expansion.

Hm. I know Korean...(was trying to get in CBT too)

Where was this confirmed at?

Check out the TIG interview i linked in the OP, a Korean member of Aionsource pointed at that link when talking about guild housing and player housing, I used google translator and indeed there were remarks about it, but I didn't get crap out of the google translation :P

Well having biatched about this for months, I have to say I'm thrilled, I'd rather a more carebear approach to the housing myself, but it won't stop me from check it out anyway. ;)

 I have the original copied and pasted and the yellow print is my translation. I am not a professional translator but I will try to stay accurate.

-Of course. We even have plan to make it possible to siege, plunder, and even put flames on enemy's houses. Also not only will it be for another pc(player)'s housing, it will also be possible to destroy and lay waste to opposing side's objectives and buildings. Our main goal is to make it possible for the players to experience laying waste to the cities from the skies above.

-Yes, it'll be possible for different Legions to battle one another as well as personal combats. If wars break out, wouldn't people naturally build houses together(close by)? Only problem/dilemma we are having at the moment is to whether make a seperate field for those housings or make it possible to build on regular fields, this is still under debate.

Our final goal with this is to make any objects on the field destructable and buildable by a player.

That's it! I am so happy with this news! :D Anyways, I hope I helped clarify few things.

Ouch, looks like this site isn't quite friendly with Korean....Ah well...

Housing won't be implemented for awhile though, probably with the first major expansion/update 6-12months down the road after release. It does sound awesome though~ But expensive!

Level 50 Sorcerers flying around vasting huge nukes on houses and causing mass chaos!

Yeah it does. Can't wait for the game AND the expension.

You know that sounds a lot like Age of Conan was trying to go for???

RIP AoC? I mean RIP more? No wait I actually like that game.... o.o
