Static housing
Static housing provides non-instanced player accommodation within a node, also known as in-node housing.[2]
- Players are able to purchase small one room houses (cottages) starting at the Village (fase 3).[2][3]
- There will be 8 cottages available for purchase at the village stage.[3]
- The amount of static housing increases as a normal part of node advancement.[4]
- The architecture of static housing is predetermined by the racial influence of the node's layout and style.[5]
- Taverns and Player shops are not tied to in-node housing.[6]
Static housing development
In-node housing can scale in size with the advancement of its parent node. This may be toggled on or off by the player.[7][2]
- The Village stage offers small housing types.[7]
- The Town stage introduces medium housing types.[7]
- The City stage introduces large sized homes.[7]
- The Metropolis stage introduces mansion size houses.[7]
If you choose to keep the same size then the next stage will have an occupied small home. So for instance if at stage three there are 8 small home and you own 1, then at stage 4 there are 10 new small homes of which x are owned by previous owners, and 10 new medium homes of which x are owned by upgraded small home owners.[8] – Steven Sharif
New property becomes available at each stage of advancement, but it will be more akin to what was available at the previous stage.[2]
- Only the houses that existed at the Village stage will become main street mansions at the Metropolis stage.[2]
Static housing destructibility
Following a node siege, static housing will be scaled back or destroyed based on the advancement of the node.[9]
- If the housing was purchased at a higher advancement than the node currently is then it will be destroyed, otherwise the housing will be scaled back.
Buying and selling (Real estate)
Players buy the deeds for housing from the node itself, or may buy and sell properties from other players.[10][11][12][13][2]
- The developers are considering an auction-based method for listing new properties that become available for purchase when a node advances.[14] Currently freeholds may be acquired via auction.[15][16][17][18][19][20]
- Housing will have a base price that scales with the number of citizens in the node.[21]
- There is no cap on the price of player-originated housing sales.[6]
- In-node housing will be at a premium, and is expected to be hotly contested.[2]
- The more apartments that have been purchased in a node, the higher the price scales.[22]
- Player housing that is destroyed during a node siege can no longer be sold.[23]
- Freehold plots may be purchased from and sold to other players,[10][24] or can be obtained via deeds issued by a Village (fase 3) or higher node.[15][16][17][18][19][20][25][26]
- We're establishing a real estate market that players can invest in and then sell within the in-game economy, but also they are a resource that's subject to removal through the sieging system as well, so there's a bit of risk implied there but the idea is that this is something for players to strive for.[24] – Steven Sharif
- Housing ownership can default back to the node if the owner fails to pay their property taxes. A balance and penalties will be charged to the new purchaser of the home in the manner of a "foreclosure process".[21]
- Players will not be able to exceed their allotment of housing in the game.[30]
- Rental and leasing concepts are under consideration.[30]
