EPTPlus WoD actually has me excited for once, moreso than I have been since the release of Wrath, AND I get to run MC again without having to get on Feenix.

There's no reason for me to be an officer. I said that just in case you wanted your new Mage to be invited into the guild, but since you're not going to play until WoD, it doesn't really matter. Also, Raka is still the GM, so I can pm him. Btw, my b-tag is Quane#1223 now. There's a good chance I'll be transferring either my Spriest or Mage depending on raid spot availability in some guilds that I'm currently investigating. | ||

My biggest fear is that, for the WOD release, there will be a big push on these forums for a horde guild on an American server, and I have to start shelling out $$$ again to bring my toons over :< edit; btw did they increase the number of times items can be upgraded in mop? I thought it used to be twice, for a total of 8 additional ilvls, but it seems like a couple of items I just got on my mage are 0/4 for ilvl upgrades... | ||

Its the new way of "nerfing" raids to allow groups who are stuck to proceed. | ||

I think most of us by now have learned the lesson of TL guilds, at least when it comes to serious progression, and I don't think anyone seriously expects TL to be able to form a solid 20+ man roster for Mythic on either US or EU. There's also no need to go Horde if we're not going to do Mythic -- what's the point? It's not like the overwhelming majority of TL users are Horde-only, and many of us have toons on both sides. If anything, we'll just add each other on B-tag and form challenge mode, PvP, or just normal difficulty raid groups. | ||

And Garrisons are not even close to what player housing actually is. Players have been asking for player housing since TBC and Blizzard has kept saying over the years it's something they wanted to add, but now that they are simply branding Garrisons as such it looks like player housing won't ever actually make it into the game. As someone who wanted player housing it's quite depressing to see that Blizzard doesn't actually understand what player housing actually is. | ||

So tell me what 'player housing' is then? i got no idea. Garrison stuff looks interesting to me at least (to some extent..), so i'm wondering what would be different. | ||

It's an instanced house that you purchase, and then you can decorate it with furniture, plants, trophies, etc. Guild halls are also player housing, but for guilds (and usually much bigger). They're for socializing more than decorating. Basically "player housing" is more than just the actual house, as it requires other features to be added to the game. You generally need tradeskills/professions to handle housing stuff; there's no woodworking in WoW so you would probably need a new profession for furniture making. Things like lights could be make with Blacksmithing, plants could be crafted by Herbalists, etc. Then you have things to display, such as books or trophies. Usually books just contain extra lore about the world, while trophies would basically be a physical way to display your achievements. Essentially player housing is a roleplayers wet dream. Personally i'm not in to roleplaying, but a) I feel it should be a noticeable part of a "Role Playing Game", in which WoW currently falls very, very short, and b) I love all the extra business opportunities it adds. Think of how many people buy mounts and pets... and now imagine all of them buying hundreds of things for their house. $$$, both in-game and IRL for Blizzard. Garrisons don't really fit the definition at all other than that they are instanced, but in that case you may as well say the Tiller's Farm is player housing as well. You could do a Google image search for some screenshots... but player housing ranges from just interior decorating to being able to actually buy a plot of land and design your own house from the ground up. | ||

I do agree that your version of player housing sounds something it should be. | ||

It will take a major amount of commitment and manpower to get real player housing in at the the level of quality of a Blizzard game. Not unlike what we have in WoD with Garrisons (but im fairly sure it would take another such amount of effort to make garrisons into actual player housing as described by Serejai). Now consider that when it comes to features this will eat up a lot. If you take Garrisons out of WoD your left with very little which is why Blizzard entwined Garrisons so heavily into the overall game and leveling experience. Now there is certainly a vocal minority who wants player housing but is that group large enough to be worth spending an entire expansion's resources on? I say no. Now perhaps Garrisons is just a prelude and they keep adding on and building bits on to it that will allow it to transition into actual player housing over several expansions without it costing major resources in one go but that is something we will have to wait and see on. | ||

Pretty sure I can display my archeology findings in there, favourite mounts etc. To me player housing isn't some instanced place where people see it only if you invite them. UO had it nailed down when it came to player housing but doing non instanced one in WoW would be pretty hard and Blizzard knows it, it's why they haven't even tried to do anything until now because they didn't have any ideas how to make it work. Are garrisons the perfect player housing replacement? No and I'm not that interested about them either and don't like them being pretty much necessary thing to do. | ||
