There is so much that could be done with housing, but it has been totally neglected and virtually useless for a long time. New storage options take away the little use it had. When was the last time you saw another player in your neighborhood, except for the occasional kinship meeting?
1. Most of the housing is too far away. Add a quick ride from the housing area to at least the attached city. This is a priority and could be done easily and quickly.
2. Add some crafting capability. Someone on another thread suggested husbandry (raising chickens, etc.) which is great. Maybe have them grow over time, so you have to come back (no- don't make it farmville with feeding, etc!).
3. Houses should hold more in terms of decorations, etc. The outsides could be more customizable so they don't all pretty much look the same.
4. Improve the central areas and maybe provide some way for events to be held.
5. Add some kind of community trading area.
Some of these only work, of course, if housing for inactive players is removed at some point.
Other suggestions?
