Affluent housing in surrounding towns...

[Oceaarea]

Just a suggestion....I would love to see affluent housing in say...the Baublshire ! or any of the others for that matter...I happen to love the Shire I bank and craft there and would love to own a High end house in true Shire style. My gnome and Halfling toons are very uncomfortable in such 'large' , 'human' accomodations <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" /> ...lolOR<span style="font-size: small;"><b>PLEASE</b></span> ADD A BANK IN SOUTH QUENOS!!   or add the high end housing similar to Bayle court in NQ...Just my 2c worth <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

<p>There is a bank in SQ. Just stop a guard and ask for directions.</p><p> Personally I liked the way the game treated the burbs/villages early on.  They were refugee areas that both cities could contain you in until they decided you were worthy enough (via citizen quests) to be even allowed to access the city zones.  </p><p>Freeport villages definately look like refugee camps, Q don't - but they are/were, and the point was to get away from them and advance from refugee to citizen.  </p><p>I can understand why others would, but for me I can't see why I'd want to set up my expensive maison in the middle of a refugee camp.  </p>

<span style="color: #00cc00;">They need to add them there [Elddar Grove] too, I feel sorry for that guard down in the canal I think he has started naming the rats! PLUS Elddar grove would with a few new gates would make an ideal place for Estate level housing.</span>

I like that all the affluent housing is located in one place.  It makes South Qeynos a more lively place and ensures that many of the things that I want to buy on the broker are available locally.I recall walking through South Qeynos back in the first year of the game thinking how empty it was since very few people could afford to live there then.  Now lots and lots of people live there and there are usually people walking around from house to house or hanging by the broker.  It feels more alive now that it used to.If people spread out to all the newbie towns then we would lose that concentration.South Qeynos is also a lot more convenient now that we have bells, bankers, fuel salesmen, crafting tables, etc. -- all things that were not there in the beginning.

Been decorating those places for 3 years now and the charm has kind of worn off. Need a new canvas to work with.

I rather like the idea.  Baubbleshire should have Hobbit style houses.  Some of the other zones should have styles that are specific to their native residents of that town.  This more a less would have to apply to Qeynos and Freeport as the other cities I dont really recally having race specific instances in their cities, like Willow Wood in Qeynos is for elves, course I could be wrong on that.  New houses!  With a view!  FTW!

I just want something other than the very unattractive acorns in kelethin. <img src="/smilies/3b63d1616c5dfcf29f8a7a031aaa7cad.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

The acorns wouldn't be so bad if they had balconies...I mean you live in a tree-top city but you can't go out onto a balacony to look at the natural beauty of The Greater Faydark.  Just something inherently wrong with that picture.  In Neriak, it at least makes sense to not have windows you can see through.  I mean, what's there to look at except a cave wall.  Then again, I think they could have done so much more with that zone.  A 5 room place overlooking the waterfall just before the harbor for example.  Underground tavern with windows underwater to see the fish swim by (like they had in EQ1's version of Neriak).
