Housing

[SgtScooter]

Hello all!
I'm busily grinding away towards my first house, and I'm starting to scout out locations. Playing on a new shard it's pretty amazing to see wide open tracts of land everywhere. Oh, the possibilities!
I thought I'd open a conversation about where people think they might be plopping down some real estate. My first house might be a utilitarian mining shack near a cave, but I wonder if people are maybe going to congregate somewhere... sort of an unofficial player village, perhaps? Has anyone got any thoughts about this?

I think you should look at your house placement in a futuristic sense, like when the server explodes full of people and you've got a prime spot near a moongate or on an excluded island or right near the bank in yew.
Someone will most likely pay top dollar for that house, so you could possibly get rich just off being one of the first few on the server.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>

That's a good point. Because I've been running by them the most frequently, I've been eyeballing the obvious places just outside of guard territory for a vendor house.

I like that optimism

Well, here's a list of my top spots:

-Any moongate (Brit/Yew/Vesper and Minoc/Trinsic)
-Dungeon Entrances
-Banks
-T2A Entrances
-PvP hotspots, like graveyards.
-Chaos Shrine


I left out some good ones, but that is a good list to get started, 95% of those spots are wide open.
