This fall Turbine is clearing house (finally) and kicking out players in default of their houses & Kin-houses, some have been in default for years.
My neighborhood is dead, last count only 6 houses & 2 Kin-houses were occupied (@25%)- 2 of them are mine.
The Dev's also announced they had some housing changes coming this fall; and about dang time since nothing has changed since launch.
I haven't picked up any new "housing" item in over a year as there's no place to put anything anyway under the current system.
A Huge Yard "space" and you can only put 1 tree in it? Or a Large Yard space and only 1 picnic table fits there? Inside, a large floor space and just 1 table fits there, no chairs... sad.
But, with the recent vague announcement (zero details) I cleared out my small house in anticipation of swapping it for a Deluxe House & am dumping another in a different neighborhood to try and get 2 Deluxe Houses close to my Kin-house. I also picked up some bonfires / cook-fires in the Summer Fest just in case they made the decoration mode a tad more "realistic." You should really be able to put a table under a huge oak tree or a few chairs around a 6' table in a 20' wide room.
Come on Turbine, you put a lot of effort to make & offer housing stuff but ZERO incentive to get it or space to put it.
I'm hoping that they make it "squares" with each item taking up "x" number of ground /wall space squares. A chair takes up 1 square, a 6' table 3x2, a tree base 8 etc.
Adding a stable for your mounts to be seen would be a nice touch.
Also making the inside dimensions & layout match the outside would be a REAL nice change. My kin-house should have half a dozen rooms on the upper TWO floors yet I have just 1 room up there and that's after you go up 2 flights of stairs to get to it.
Finally, how about making the neighborhoods directly accessible from the towns they are supposed to be part of? Just put the archway you go thru in a corner of each town instead of putting the archway out in the boonies.
