Player Housing and Cities Planet

Please add a new planet where players can build cities and houses. Don't do paths, make all the expanse on the planet available. Allow customization so players can become more a part of the game. the planet should have multiple regions types ... snow, beach, mountains... My wife and I played SWG for the entire length of the game because of this feature. We PVP, we ran a city, we did all the parts of the game but in the end, having houses and such made the game longevity.

I fully support this idea. More SWG features added to this game would be awesome.

open world housing is a bad idea it ends up like it did in SWG where you have a ghost town.

Now instanced housing like in EQ2 is a great idea

I agree with the OP. We played SWG for years had many many home filled with all the stuff we had hunted down. And if you do add homes and citys I think you would see more couples like us playing.
At least tell us if you plan to add these later down the road.

what for?

no seriously, i never been in an mmo with housing, can't imagine what it is like. most of the time, i log in and out from the fleet, seems like a reasonable place to start and end today's adventure.

what would push me to visit my owned home?

i used to owned home in rpg (skyrim, fallout) but i end up rarely visiting them. only advantage was to store equipment or ingredient. but on swtor we have the cargo bay accessible from fleet, ship, and every planet.

i truly want to know what player that have had housing in mmo find a good use for?
could the ship also be a housing?

I wouldn't mind the idea of player housing, however I'd rather see it instanced than across the world.

I love the enthusiasm people had for SWG. I do. That said, this is a different game. Just because something was good in an old game does not make it good here. SWG was a sandbox, and had an entirely different style of play. The housing and crafting elements fit that style. This game, for better or worse, is not a sandbox. And as many other games have shown, many sandbox features do not fit with this style of game. I have nothing against sandboxes in general and SWG specifically. I enjoyed it in it's time, like many. But this game is not SWG. It is SW:TOR. Let it be it's own game, instead of a re-hash of another title.

I personally would prefer options more in line with the character of this game. As our ships are supposed to be our "home base" I would love to be able to customize my ship. Even if it's just paint, furniture, equipment, and maybe some trophies on the wall. I think it would fit nicely. It may not be exactly what you had in another MMO, but isn't that kind of the point, being that this is a different game?

i seriously support this idea

Not really. I didn't change games to get a different game. I was forced to change games because they shut mine down. I'm the type of player who doesn't game jump to get a different game. I pick a game and stay with it for a long period of time.

I'm not asking to change all the planets or even the game. I'm all for the game like it is on the planets that exist or even with expansions. All I'm saying is give those of us who enjoyed that part of SWG one planet for our homes and cities. I can't imagine it would harm the game at all since it doesn't change the planets that exist, PVP, or anything.

Don't force everyone to play a specific way. It won't work for the long haul. If a player can't play their game, they won't play long term. I'm pretty sure thats what Bioware wants is long term players.

My wife and I played it like it was another place to live. There was so much space that after 8 years we still hadn't seen half of what was really available land wise. I'll have been everywhere in this game by the end of year 1.

i second that.
