About AION Housing

http://www.blogcdn.com/massively.joystiq.com/media/2009/08/aionelyosheader.jpgExcited about Aion’s upcoming housing or maybe just curious? What’s really the big deal? Why bother with housing in a PvP game? Before we go any further, let’s just throw something out there for those particular naysayers: Housing means more PvP. Ok, why shall I say that housing means more PvP? I am serious. Now, let’s cross the threshold past the cut and join Wings Over Atreia as we explore the impending housing opportunities in Atreia.Anything that brings more people into game or helps retain those who are already here is a boon to everyone — including the hard-core PvPers. More people mean more enemy targets and more compatriots to hunt with. There are some people just waiting for housing to drop so they can return to game. Sure, Daevas who are currently hanging out in their houses won’t be out-and-about and attackable, but no one is going to stay in his house forever. If nothing else, he will have to venture forth into the world to get some kinah for decorating and house upkeep! And then he will be vulnerable. So smile wickedly and think of all the new victims who will be available! But don’t be afraid to go where to get enough AION kinah (http://www.swagvault.com/aion/us/gold/2817).

And housing done right adds immensely to the immersion of a game. This particular feature breathing more life into the game. So is Aion’s housing done right? Well, that’s depends. Different people have different opinions. Score one for getting to decorate by placing things where you want. Given the wonderful environment, it’s a very disappointing gaming experience to a certain other game that restricted what we could place where in my little Hobbit hole. By all appearances, Aion has avoided this pitfall. And not only can you place stuff where you want, but you can also rotate the furniture to get it to look perfectly.2. Another key aspect is that you can visit your friends’ houses and they can visit yours. Nothing ruins showcasing your trophies and creativity like a house restricted to the player only! In fact, you can establish a bind of sorts with your friends; there is even a house item that will list all of your friends’ properties and allow you to visit.3. A pleasant surprise: While many games have allowed players to choose a certain house type, Aion is going further and letting you customize the exterior of the home with windows, roofing, and even paint! This level of customization is unusual but welcome.4. Housing has the ability to store things in a wardrobe. Some Daevas who will probably need to stack wall-to-wall wardrobes just to have enough room for all of their cosmetic outfits! After all our begging and pleading for more storage space, this is actually a very welcome addition. And along those same lines, it also looks like the house has a separate storage for furniture that is not in use — meaning you don’t have to clutter your warehouse with it. Unfortunately, I am not sure if the items placed in the storage count toward the item limit though I hope they do not.5. The foremost disappointment is the extremely limited number of the grandest of houses: the luxury mansion model. There will be only four per faction. But if the housing area isn’t instanced, there is a need to limit due to space… that will be great! But if you tend to be rolling in the kinah. SwagVault is your perfect choice, surely!6. A limited number of houses available. Of course the active players should be the ones with the real estate. However, if the numbers are correct on the chart, then the luxury house is going to eat up over 22 million weekly. Skip paying for two weeks and your house will go back on the market. Don’t expect to get it back, either; with such a dearth of the higher-end houses, there will be plenty of players just waiting to snatch one up as soon as it becomes available.7. The seriously low limit on the number of items allowed in a house. Compare this to the hundreds allowed in games with some of the best housing systems (Vanguard, Star Wars Galaxies, and EverQuest II). And from the looks of the chart offering the statistics,aion kinah (http://www.swagvault.com/aion/us/gold/2817), there is only one room in even that huge mansion. This is going to squelch a lot of creativity.8. A distinct lack of masculinity of the housing. It’s true. Ask again, what aspects of Aion aren’t bent toward the beautiful if not more feminine side? We have to admit that very little screams “masculine” anywhere in this game. So it really isn’t a surprise that the architecture follows along the same artistic lines seen in the rest of the gameOk, the time when you are rocking and rolling in AION, SwagVault will be your honest kinah provider!
