Housing in Guild Wars 2 – What could it be like?
Gaudete Theory suggested today’s Blaugust Group Project: It’s alive! Ancient Draft, Revived! I took a look at my drafts and decided to just go with the oldest one I have. It is this one here and I wrote the draft back in February 2013. Guild Wars 2 was merely half a year old at that…

Guild Wars 2: Housing is coming?…
Quite recently, I got the urge again to play an MMO. My choice was between Guild Wars 2 and Lord of the Rings Online. I opted for the latter because whenever I do want to play GW2, I am reminded that there is so much left that I need to unlock first if I want…

LotRO: Disappointing Housing
I know I am ranting about the same topic over and over again: The player housing feature in Lord of the Rings Online is just disappointing. They have been improving it over the years, but even though I think every time “Now it’s something I can at least enjoy a little bit!” – as soon…

Which MMO has the most useless housing system?
I saw this article on Massively Overpowered about useless housing systems in MMOs. Of course, this is a more or less subjective question, but that’s why I liked reading about their choices. Massively Overthinking: Which MMO suffers from the most useless housing system? My first thought – I’m only going with the MMOs I have…

New World and Housing
One of the main reasons that I decided to buy New World, after all, was its Housing feature. It’s no Rift or Wildstar housing (or – insert any other MMO housing that is superior to others), but it is housing! And not in the sense that Lord of the Rings Online has housing because their…

Screenshot Saturday: Home in ESO
I spent my morning trying to decide which small little house (Staple House) to buy in Elder Scrolls Online. The decision was between Twin Arches in Bangkorai and Autumn’s-Gate in The Rift. I could have afforded to just buy both, but I have set my eyes on a big house, Hunding’s Palatial Hall. It even…

Lotro: Home sweet home for our kinship
Thursday evening, our kinship on Lotro’s legendary server had finally achieved the rank it needs for a kinship house. Two of our kinship members also have their own house in this neighbourhood. That’s half of us, actually. We’re really just a small group of friends playing together again. :)

Looking for a new MMO-home
We still have not heard anything from gamigo and their plans with the games they acquired from Trion. Of course, all of this doesn’t necessarily mean that Rift will be closed or that much will be changed for Rift as it is now. But I’m still not feeling too confident and decided to look for…

Rift Dimension building project: Tempest Island IV
I switched to different projects thinking I’ve run out of ideas how to continue with this dimension, but in the end, I always get some ideas for little things I can add. I’ve made a list now and am slowly working through it. Comparing yourself with others is always a bad idea, because there will…

Rift Dimension building project: Tempest Island III
I just realized that the last time I showed my Tempest Island dimension was almost one year ago. I did not add too much to the main rooms on the lower floor of the house. The kitchen got a little kitten and some more bottles, mugs and the like. The stove got some control “knobs”. The…

Rift Housing: Stone Grove
My newest housing project is “Stone Grove”. I want to build a house up in the trees. I guess I’ll also have to plant a few more trees, as the ones existing in the dimension only look strong on the ground, but get too thin up there. Anyway, it is currently a mess and I…

Wildstar’s Jumpstart Pack – Is it worth the price?
I only just wrote about Wildstar’s housing and wondered whether you could get the housing teleporter and now they added it to their store for the cost of 720 NCoins. I assume that once the game launches on Steam, it will appear as DLC in their store as well. 800 NCoins cost 10 €, so…

Housing in MMOs: Wildstar
The first parts of this series were posted a long time ago, but I recently stumbled over one of them again and figured I should add Wildstar to this list. If you are wondering what games have been covered here before: Lord of the Rings Online, Aion, Rift and Everquest 2. For Aion, I got help from thevalliants and…

Project: Wildstar Housing
I did it! I managed to get my second character to level 14 which is where you unlock your housing plot. In case you’re now sitting there in front of your monitor pondering the amount of effort it needs to get to 14 – don’t bother. It’s fast. I’m just slow. ;) My Rift housing…

Rift Dimension building project: Tempest Island II
It has been one week since I showed you my newly acquired dimension “Tempest Island”. Don’t worry, this will not be a weekly column. I am sure building will slow down soon anyway. Right now, there are just so many parts of the island that I want and need to fill, that it’s growing so…
