Just as plot of land refers to freehold - since rented apartments don't have a plot of land.
Steven tends not to alt, so I'm not sure how detailed he's being when answering the questions.
But, we need answers to questions that haven't been asked as far as I can tell.
What are the ramifications of having alts on different servers? Are we restricted to playing on just one server?
We can have alts on multiple servers but are account locked to citizenship only on one server?
If we can have citizenship on multiple servers, are we account locked from having one apartment one each of those severs?
Account locking freeholds makes sense because plots of land will be a competitive resource. The in-node housing also makes some sense as there will be a limited amount that can become mansions.
Account locking apartments doesn't make sense.
Especially if we can have alts with citizenship in different nodes.
So, all I'm really saying is that we need some follow-up answers to truly understand. Account locked for plot of land doesn't adequately answer the question(s).
Carefully.
Question is whether it will be morally correct to let people claim additional houses with alts or if houses will be account based.
I am sure people will want to claim houses while nodes are small and sell them once nodes are big and start their own real estate offices, but considering real houses (non-instanced and not freeholds) are very limited, it wouldn't be fair for a handful of persons to claim most of them.
Seems certain that freeholds/houses are account based due to limited land.
Due to citizenship - apartments/homes shouldn't be restricted by account.
But, we need to learn how the devs envision citizenship for alts.
Especially alts on different servers.
Looking forward to folks wheedling those details from the devs.
Instanced housing being per char :P
In town housing is meant to be something that is able to acquired in greater amounts as the node develops, and those that get in on the first wave will have bigger and bigger houses. These numbers are pure speculation, but imagine 8 houses available at node 3, 20 more appear at 4, 50 more at 5, and 100 more at metropolis for 178 total houses of various sizes at cap. (Once again, just pulling numbers outta my ass)
