![]() I’ve built lots of houses, but that one, in that graphical style, with my treasure hunting rune library on display, just really takes me back. I’d decorated it room by room with little porches and storage areas. This pic is an inside slide of the second floor. But it’s in the now-defunct Kingdom Reborn client, which I really loved. The graphics date it to maybe 2009? I’m not sure. That island was so pretty, it had great music, and I loved all the different homes I built on that plot, but this one was definitely my favorite. For years, I had an epic spot right outside of the city of Zento, right on the road just a tick away from town. *quiet sobbing*īrianna Royce nbrianna, blog): I think everyone will be expecting me to pick a Star Wars Galaxies house because I’ve spent a lot of ink covering mine, but for me, it’s one of my many Ultima Online houses. I love the game, don’t get me wrong, and I’m enjoying Blackwood, but its housing just isn’t up to par with EQII. I want to love ESO’s housing, but everything always feels so dark and dirty to me in that game. Clearly staged, definitely produced, and just there (combined with the fact that it’s prohibitively expensive). I could never get into FFXIV housing because it felt like that room in my grandma’s house that was always perfect and just there to look at. It wasn’t just stock up with “Trophies of my Murder Hobo Exploits” like some some sadistic psychopath who hangs the rotting heads of his enemies on his walls I had books and weapons and random pieces of armor everywhere. Putting crafting tables and getting an apprentice - the whole system felt very homey to me. Doing the Lore and Legend things gave me books to pile wherever I want (or weapons to hang on the wall), and I could craft other things to put in there too. I really love the housing in EQII because I just got normal stuff to put in there. I love being able to look out the bay windows into an actual bay with rolling water. However, my fae Troubadour has quite a charming little house in New Halas that is probably my favorite. I had a couple of those weird acorn houses in Kelethin that always seemed oversaturated to me. I’ve had quite a few MMO houses, but the ones that often stick out are the ones built in the actual game world, not an instance.Īndy McAdams: I think EverQuest II was my favorite house. The problem, of course, is that they’re often instanced, much like modern MMO housing. My towns usually have some sort of theme and secret to discover, though I’ve often done games and mazes for guests. They even get me to reach out more to the playerbase, as just having a dollhouse isn’t enough for me. I’ve obviously had a lot of houses in the other AC series ( Animal Crossing) that often makes it into our screenshots, and those often keep me in the game for longer than I’d normally stick around. It was also out of the way for most people but near a useful portal people couldn’t easily access, so it was super convenient for me. I loved all the little useless stuff and quest items, which were rarely best in slot or even very useful but were super cool and made the world feel more alive. I did some redecorating, so some of my brother’s neat toys made a cameo, but the living room at about 1:11 in is the same as I had it when I left the game. Andrew Ross dengarsw): The first home’s always the most memorable, right? I’m struggling to find many pics of it, but people who watched MJ’s Asheron’s Call farewell stream actually got to see my original AC1 house. Which specific MMO house that you owned is most memorable, how did it fit into the rest of the MMO and your playstyle, and maybe most importantly, was it sticky enough that you’re still playing the game? Pics or it didn’t happen! But what we don’t talk about much is the MMO houses we actually live in – after all, most of us have probably had several, both in the top-end genre housing systems and the bottom too.įor this week’s Massively Overthinking, I’ve asked our writers to overthink the MMO houses they’ve “lived” in and pick out their very favorite. You folks know I love MMO housing systems, and in fact, we’ve been crowning the MMOs with the best housing systems for years.
