Some reasons ...
* A guild residense
* A pirate hideout.
* A party place (just joking)
* Factions could be made
* My most relevant reason ... I hate money cap !!!!!!!!!!
When you have 65000 u won't even be able to sell a light sloop - try and u can't
* have written Disney and suggested that they implement new ideas to diminish
the burden of useless money.
* Buying a plot will cost money
* Building elements - walls, roofs, floors etc ... will cost money
* Shopping for furny will cost money
* I play another online game (Ultima Online) where it is just as unnecessary to have
a home as in potco - but people love it.
As a game mechanic it is just as totally unnecessary to have a home here as in
potco. Ultima Online is a RPG and adventure game (hugely complexed) - but it
works - take my word for it.
* For people that like the idea it will mean a greater incentive to have an unlimited account
if they don't already have one. That will increase income to Comp. D and in the end, it
means probably a better and more complex game (programmers cost MONEY).
> Answers:
>>> But why play on a game where part of the function is a house? <<<
Who says you absolutely WILL be forced to have a house? Don't want > Don't buy
>>> Does it raise the value of the game? will it keep people interested longer? <<<
For people who like the idea it will - isn't that obvious ?
>>> nay what i need a house for when i have me ship <<<
Ships sink - houses don't (just joking)
>>> i believe that the "houses" should be captains quarters on ships. <<<
I could be devils advocate: Why do we need quarters on ships ?
As soon as the captain leaves the helm - some player mostly always take over.
So he will never have time to spend in the quarters anyway.
Crew is needed on cannons and on repair spots - i don't need them in some quarters
drinking heavily so they can't aim. I need them on deck - not below ! (just joking)
But i respect your desire. For you it will work - for me it won't, but that doesn't mean
i am so selfish so i will deny the idea, just because it's useless to ME.
See the point ?
