I believe that the Mabinogi housing system is one of the best housing systems I've ever seen. Actually it's also the only housing system, but still. It's tight. Here's my idea with the Maple housing system based off the Mabi housing system. So basically, to get a house, you build it. However, since there are WAY too many people with WAY too many mesos, it should simply remain as so: Requirements 1) You must gather materials for the house. They are dropped by monsters in low level areas. You will need a very large amount. 2) Materials are quest-only. However, they can be traded. However, you must have the quest activated in order to be able to hold these materials. If you already possess a house you may not start the quest. 3) There is a new housing channel. The only available room is the Free Market, renamed and redecorated. To access this channel, you must enter the free market at any channel, and then cc to the housing channel. When you cc to another channel from the housing channel, you end up in the free market. Like the free market, there are 22 rooms for housing. Houses are simply seen--on the outside--as a door with the name of the owner OR 'Vacant' above it. A total of 100 houses are available in each room, giving a total of 2200 available houses. 4) Houses expire and become vacant 3 weeks after you move into the house. Once your house expires, you may re-initiate the quest. 5) Houses will be vacant for 48 hours. If one wishes to purchase a vacant house, enter the door and you will automatically gain a 'house licensing permit,' which will give the time left for vacancy in hours and minutes upon rolling over the item in your setup inventory. 6) Whomever collects the largest amount of materials will win the house. This means that people with faster killing skills and patience will win. 7) This is so that not too many newbies will win the housing auctions. The reason will be stated in the 'housing functions' section of this post. 8) Every day, you must pay 5 million mesos to maintain your house. You have 4 days to pay. For example, if you don't pay on Monday, you have until Friday to pay a total of 25 million mesos. If you pay on Tuesday, you must pay 10 million mesos. If you are 5 days away from your house becoming vacant, you have one day to pay. If you fail to pay within the alloted time, your house will become vacant immediately. Your items in the storage are then transferred to Frederick. This will also allow less newbies to maintain houses. 9) Forgot to mention: You will need to pay 5million mesos BEFORE you move in as well. HOUSING FUNCTIONS 1) Housing exists to be a second Free Market. However, the all chat is disabled in this area, disallowing it to become a free market. 2) The house will also have a bank and storage area as well. The storage area is 20 items, while the bank can hold a maximum of 2.14billion. There is no tax when depositing items into your storage area. All of your characters can access this storage area.

Eh, this would require way too much coding, and nexon america can't make it without nexon korea making it first or allowing them to make it. =x

If they do this.. knowing Nexon, they would probably make you pay for the quest or something with NX.

[quote] JonathanAlonzo : i Like it, but you have to pay alot of mesos though [/quote] This. I think the housing system is more meant for people to chill in instead of eating lots of mesos. Why should a part of this game be inaccessible to "newbies" or people who dont feel like merching?

The merchants from FM and FM1 won't be able to do THAT much either, because most of them do not have high level accounts capable of mass-collecting equips. The main reason for this housing area is for items and prices similar to that of ch 8 fm in windia; 'for the pros.' It is rather expensive but if you're a person who needs to sell a huge inventory load of sexy equips and you can't find a good FM spot (i see so many godly equips in fm chanels 2 and 3.. it's kinda sad :x), housing is for you~!

[quote] ClassOf12 : I think this system is more suited to the socialisers in Maple than the hardcore merchanters. [/quote] above not many people will hang out. Perhaps your own close friends, but you have so many places for that. Heck, even the ol' random FM in a random channel works. Besides, there is a limited amount of houses. If there are only 100 houses, only the best of the best will be able to get them. If there are 2200 houses, many will have them, and hanging out will be nearly impossible. Mabinogi's housing system doesn't serve as a social area either. Housing, frankly, would almost never work as a social area, especially if there already exists places like henesys for socializing and the fm for mass selling. Having an empty house just makes it a waste of coding space. There are plenty of channels for private socializing.

A long long time ago when maplestory just came out there was a hope for this kind of thing. It was said in the GMS website that players could even build their own house in game if i remember correctly.

I was thinking about house decorations being dropped by monsters E.g Slime Plush toy (?) - Dropped by Slime Zakum Statue - Dropped by Zakum UFO Catcher - Dropped by UFO Catchers, those things in Kerning Square =]
