Player Housing?

There's a very lengthy thread at the official forums discussing player housing. Another feature that comes up is guild hqs. What do you think of these ideas? How would you implement them? Do you think they will ever make it to the game?

I'd have to say no to that. It just doesn't sound like a good idea. What purpose would the housing have? To be able to stay there? That just seems kinda stupid. Even if they made it like Fable, and able to display trophies and stuff, its not like people are gonna walk into your 'house' just to see what trophies you've got hanging there.

I pretty much agree on the housing part. Nobody would ever really use it since you'd be out questing or whatever. I think guild hqs is kind of a good idea though. Its also kind of pointless but I just think it'd be cool.

Player housing in other games had any of the following functions: social status, a place to keep loot secure, a place to display loot, a place to craft for professions, a place to rest, and a place to peddle your goods via vendors.

WoW all ready has all these things covered in a different way. I suppose thier function in wow would simply be social status, a place to display loot or accomplishments, and to serve as a larger bank??? This is far fetched but I suppose also you could add a profession that would craft items you could keep in your house??? Chairs and stuff??? I have played MMO's that this idea might have been refreshing but thats because they were HELLLO!!! .....TOTALLY BORING ALL READY!

Bottom line is WoW isn't a sit around and drool over your loot kinda game. Even the social status symbols; epic mounts, leet gear ect; are derrived from and attuned to grouping with friends and conquering content. So I would have to say no there really is no place to have housing because if you are an active player there really is no time to sit around and just "hangout" because there is actually cool stuff to be doing and thats a good thing LOL.

Let's face it if you are /w some one to come take a look at your new epic [Venetian Blinds of Darkness] than its time to go find another game!

Yeah you're right, stuff to display is already being displayed on your toon as armor or mounts, etc.
