Housing

It came up in every second thread about the update, I haven't been on the forums for so long so.. What exactly is that? And why is it so controversial?

 

Housing is a suggestion for Wynncraft in which each player gets a house they can build and customize. It's somewhat controversial as it is a very common, low effort suggestion, and many players felt it didn't fit the theme of Wynncraft. However, some people now feel housing can be viable due to the fact that there is now a crafting, harvesting, and profession system.

 

Adding on to this, housing is considered a joke by many members of the community. There's a secret feature being added next update, so many people have made memes about that being housing.

 

^ this.

Not to mention how many players there are on Wynncraft, it'd be almost impossible to have a house for everyone (assuming everyone wants to buy one) even if there are houses that are different in different worlds. Unless they could make it work like the "Housing" in Trove or something like Guild Housing (which in turn, would create lag, unless the Housing was limited to a certain area within the confinements of Guild Territories)

If Wynncraft was hosted with godly dedicated servers then yeah sure why not. I'm no expert on how coding and servers work, but for now I don't see how the servers won't just crumble under all that lag created.

 

I made a thread awhile ago that counted the number of housing threads per month over the course of 2015 to 2018. It's probably less relevant now because there hasn't been a housing thread in awhile (thankfully).

The biggest problems that I could think of on the top of my head are:
Most housing suggestions are barely a sentence and poorly thought out. The authors are usually newcomers who have barely played the game or any MMORPG.
It doesn't fit the theme of Wynncraft because the player is supposed to be a roaming adventurer/warrior, not a homeowner.
Lag due to new plots and houses being generated and the amount of space it would take up. This is probably the biggest hurdle.
We already have enough bank space; there's no need to put more via housing.
There's practically no purpose to it. As mentioned before, we already have enough bank space, and people have discord or Deltas 1 to hang out in.
Housing is so unoriginal that you might as well just play on any other survival/creative server.
