Best player housing?

Recommended Posts

No mans sky? pah, all they see is sky cos the houses suck

 

Everquest? More like everquesting for a house

 

ESO? More like ESNO

 

We lost out on the player housing choice of Massively Overpowered, but the popular vote is still up for grabs!

None of the above ..

For housing building Ark with mods beats them all .

Go look at what people have built ,.

Instant housing should not even be in that list , only stuff you can build from scratch should be .

Wurm is not bad but still limited on hanging stuff up and placement ..

 

But Wurm beats all games for terraforming ....

we're on 36 votes
eq2 and FF are on 44 votes

Rope in your friends lets get it boosted, I've sent out some notifications also (discord alliance chat and wu global)
I have player housing in eq2, my own newbie island with my achievements displayed. lots of little avatars, some interactable stuff but you can't build or form and it's a private area, nothing compared to our sandbox hybrid.

>edit> we're in the lead at the moment with 46 votes

The fact they list path of exile just makes me not even want to believe they know what player housing is about 😕

In your typical mmo yes its about decorating a house(often predesigned exterior) with limited space where as games like life is feudal and wurm take a better approach to it
A tale in the desert should really be listed there too considering 99% of the game is about doing exactly that :P

There is this old mmo i once played that had your typical isometric view rpg style play(a bunch of wurmians back in 2012-2013 where all playing it together around 60 of us) and it was a fun game to play and it sported some amazing grid based house building allowing you to do what wurm did but on a way bigger scale(no skill limits to house size just resource cost and land purchase cost) allowing for some amazingly giant structures to be created full of decorations of things you found in the world put on display and more if only i could remember its name :(

Also i figured id leave a message on their site and i think google doesnt want me to use signin with google to do so first time i ever saw this message lol

I think it's more to do with them asking what people want player housing to be.
even if wurm does it `the best and most thorough`, doesn't mean people want that.
As much as we like to believe, Wurm is not the gauge or the basis of comparison.
I know most of them don't know they're born but there's a high chance that even after playing wurm they might vote for `here's a space, fill it`
That's not what player housing is about .. in wurm. .. and the grand scheme of things.
Wurm has given us an evolved understanding but the poll is there to decide is that what people want.

That's me being as objective as possible.
Subjectively, vote vote vote! you don't need to sign in, show this silly quiz how passionate we are about our truth.

edit> 60 votes! don't relent.

Horizons / Istaria was an older MMO that had some really outstanding player housing, but I don't think it was isometric view.

 

 

 

 

Could it have been Maple Story? I never played it, but It kind of looks like maybe a grid-based isometric design with  few limits on player housing size, and a lot of room for creativity in housing design:

"Google is concerned blah"

That is hilarious, these notorious thieves and spies are concerned that anyone else may steal your data. The mafia offering protection from petty thieves, lol.

 

Edit: Voted, ofc. We are leading, yippie :)

Spoiler

wurm online numma 1 bes housing mmo

 

I love that i can show up on a beach, find a spot, make it my own - modified to my liking - build a house per my desires, fill it with random clutter (on an ever improving system) and actually base an entire section of my gameplay around this house.

Only one game really gives me that, and that is Wurm.

 

i really like my house on black desert, but it is neither a player home nor anything really type game. 4th

i loved what i could do at my house on archeage. 3rd

ark/derivatives come in second, for me.
 

really though, that list is flawed. i vote against whoever made it.

Retro is not PR, we are.
however, he is player relations / community manager and has done his job well here.
180 votes, NICE.

I was vote #4 on this when I saw it before the post here, that escalated quickly. :D

 

Well done everyone and rightly so, Wurm deserves this one clearly.

Just having Wurm on that list might bring a lot of people, regardless of the final score. People who are interested in player housing, which is one of the strongest attributes of Wurm so they are likely to stay.

By housing i obviously mean player controlled land/settlement/deed, not only the structures.

Now I am kind of curious how many will quit the idea upon reading some of the forum threads here... ^_^

 

But yea, I hope some stick around or at least give it a shot when the Steam thing is ready, anything is ok with me as long as it is pro-Wurm.
