Housing

[palenen]

I hadnt played the test client in a long time and I thought I would chec kout housing. Your not able to drop items on the ground. There are these hot spots where various pieces may or may not fit into. Small Floor, Large Floor, Large Wall, Small Wall, etc. Several others. Inside and out. These hotspots turn on when you go into design mode. Right mouse click area you want to place something, window pops up and you drag a item from inventory to a box in this window. It appears on the floor/wall, etc.

small house is 1g with 50s a week upkeep. Cant confirm any other pricing, didnt really look.

The chest in the house is extra storage like the vaults. You buy to unlock like the vaults. There are vendors in the center of the neighborhood. Bank vault included.

The neighborhoods are off the beaten path so to speak. Youll see the entrances but they blend in pretty good.

What's with the upkeep costs?

If it is just another money sink...they are going to to drive people to gold spammers.

There are a lot of people that still have a hard time keeping money in the game for one reason or another.

Is the housing upkeep cost thing common in other MMOs?
