Co-Ownership

[SaintRaev]

Not sure if this is the right forum but here goes. How about a new rank of ownership is added to housing? I want to move my alt in with my main into a 2 room, but I don't want to have to right click the door, find my main's name, and click on that just to visit the home. With Co-Ownership you would have the Co-Owner actually move into the house, with a moving crate. I don't want to get a "Buy Now!" button every time I want in. I really can't see any cons to this idea, would just make a few people happy.

It would be cool, but there are certainly lots of potential issues.  Owners of a house always have the ability to either pick up (non-soulbound) or destroy any items in their house.  Having 2 people with that ability could cause all sorts of CS problems if the 2 owners had a disagreement and one decided to take/destroy items.  And then there's the issue of wanting to end co-ownership (who gets the house?!) or one person trying to move out without closing down the existing house...  However, having shared a house with a friend, co-ownership would have been very useful.

I agree to that, the first option on a house should be visit (unless it's your own house). It give us the buy window and 99% of the time, we don't click to buy obiviously.For the list, I would list the folks living there in alphebetical order or something please. The list seems random and with no sens. Some house are listed even when the owner didn't pay the upkeep for years. Huh?Edit: Oh, in SWG we had the option to had a full guild to our house, let's say I write 'guild name' visitor access, ALL the guild members could enter. Very nice option. Does it work in EQ? I don't think we have this.
