Housing 3.0

[thekragle]

So I just bought a house and I am enjoying it. Dropped a lot of plat on it and the decorations and so far its pretty fun.

I started to think though, If everyone eventually owns a house and has this great pride with it, why would the want to leave thier house and spend time in someone elses house. Each player wants everyone to visit thier house and hang out there. Its human nature.

So what if there was some sort of perk to visiting your friends and guildmates houses to encourage more association back and forth between houses.

It would

1. Encourage players to farm/buy more items for the house to impress thier fellow players, especially the higher priced interactive items which would be needed to give a benefit for example (see below)
2. Make everyone enjoy each others house and boost comradarie (did I spell that right?)
3. Encourage the sale of houses and make farmable/plat based purchases worth more in CS.

The benefit of housecalls:
An example would be, you go to a friends house and spend some time with him/her using a interactive house item, like the disco ball or hottub, and the visiting player gets a benefit, maybe pots, or a story token or some gold for example. Something simple.

I know this might turn into a beg fest where other players beg thier friends to hang out with them for the benefits so maybe there is someway you could visit a house without the owner there and still get a benefit from the visit.

The point is what good is a vanity only you primarily enjoy and see. Players will probably need motivation to visit other players houses especially when the newness wears off.

THIS IS JUST AN IDEA I AM THROWING OUT THERE. If you think of downsides to this, cool. But I am just throwing out this idea as a generality. The specifics can be different, I just want to increase house visits between players.

Well, nice point. We can see a lot of bugs abuse these times. Probably if they put "prize" for a friend visit your house, they will "farm" buff of this. Creating tons just to visit and give the prize to host...my ideia its a little different:

"Fame Points"
Works like that: if you make your house PUBLIC(only public) to visits, an random player will can join(by friend list, guild, friend of a friend) and give you a point of fame, if he/her like your house..sure. And for the visitor give the "like" he will spend 2 Story Token. ALSO the visitor just can "like" 1 house per day, and not in the same house again(never). They make a LB of "Most Famous Houses" with the points of comunnity

Each season the LB restart to give a chance to new players, with new furnitures...

Ex:

1st: Sareocar' s House ------------ 1.432 Fame points
2nd: Fareunaca' s House ----------- 1. 323 Fame points
3rd: Jionaesaco' s House ----------- 1. 291 Fame points
(Random names of my mind, like in the creation of toon)

Its just an idea coz this will make the players try be the owner of the most "Famous House" and help STS buying plat. Help farm players trying find new itens to house, to sell or make our house pretty

Just an idea, fell free to plus any change :)

A game with more functions is always better than anything. Just have to make sure that the choices don't clash. I like the houses, it makes some happy enjoyable times during those hours we just want to celebrate anything. Celebrated a couple of birthdays with dance parties. We sometimes need a break after bathing in too much monster blood. XD. Not that they bleed though. Haha

I like the fame idea, and I was thinking some sort of a visit counter that you can see how many people visited the house so far.

Also maybe instead of my previous idea, what if visiting someones house could very rarely spawn one of the deary island digsite type spots where something might randomly drop from the site when you interact with it (like a doorbell). That would just be a fun perk to visiting all your friends houses to say hello, check out thier progress and maybe get a house gift :)

I dont know if its a good ideia give gifts, portals or whatever for visiting, its not a problem of AL but a community problem, did you see what they did with Deary's Portal? A ton of non farmed gold in game, break the economy. I do not trust in players anymore, not today...

[Sasamon]

Maybe I make my "Most Famous House" idea be a thread, would be awesome know what peoples think about this.

[epicrrr]

i think it was fun having strangers visit/join the house via friends of friends makes it worthy to cozy up the place

Remember the begin of houses? A LOT of strangers in your house? I like that old idea but now with a LB for that, who dont like to see a bunch of strangers its simply, bloq it in menu. And obliviouslly everybody can bloq the our house to change furnitures when want or chill

[thekragle]

You can still make your house open to anyone/public. But only friends and guildmates can actually enter your house using the guild or friends list.

Thats actually fine the way it is imho. I would just like to see more reasons for players to enter friends and guildies houses.

I guess there "might" be a way to make a leaderboard for most visits ("house parties") in a house. Then from leaderboard you could click and visit that house if its open to public.

It would dramatically promote houses and designing within houses. I can see the $$ pouring in for Sts. Any additional reason for players to enter other players houses would be a welcome addition.

I dont have a house yet & not even willing to buy one. This is the mose useless part in the game as far as i see it. Actually, this is only my opinion, but id rather invest gold into higher tier jewels than spend my time decorating the useless house..

This would be a more "whos famous/more liked/ type of lb. large guilds could easily dominate this, and yes smart players could indeed exploit this. Leave houses as is, throw a house party with door prizes :)

The orginal post of this thread was just to stir up some ideas to increase back and forth visits between players and thier houses. We dont want anything to be able to be exploited. Just a smart way that everyone can show off thier hard work on a consistent basis.

I dont want players entering thier house and 95% of the time there are tumble weeds rolling through.

Remember, All those players running around town with fancy vanities and effects are not showing off for themselves. They love getting friend requests and comments because of thier strength and looks. It gives a sense of pride.

I don't see any comparison between sims and arcane legends:

-In Sims (basicly a paying game on computer) you build a house and you live on, simulating the everyday life. Your only "challenge" is stay alive.

-IN ARCANE LEGENDS a free mmorpg on mobile (first); like many of them players can decide to own house ( there is many reasons like the social side or the "selfish" side and they both give you more fun and more glory to your character name) to immerse himself in the world of arcane legends and interact with his own environnement.

In my life, as far as i can remember Sims is the only game my sist ever played.

So I suppose this: many boys ARE AFFRAID to see the game turn in the girl favor.
But its okay, i understand.

Myself i plan to turn it into a selfish mushroom museum for Charlie the blue, relating his epic battles with some trophies, where he can sleep on some giant wolf skins and take bath with tons of beer looking his walls covered with useless expensive gears.
[-->EXCLUSIVE. Start reserv it.
Later you will be allow to visit it but of course its not free (5gold blue skins and 10gold men) unless your a girl.]

I believe it should be up to the house owners to "show off their house", and watch for contests in the contest section like the one STS just held, "Better homes & Gardens". This was a voting poll, open for the entire community to enter. Contests like that one gives more home owners the oppertuniy to "show off their house".

Response to your last patagraph: You should not state what all players like, and what they want. I am a player, I don't care about the quantity of friends on my friends list. I dont care if my items sparkle or bubble, or give me immortsl stats for others too see.
