I'm sorry, but making people go out of their way to run to a house that's in an inconvenient zone just isn't that good of a reward.
The place itself is beautiful of course. And I'm sure those that love to decorate will enjoy.
But for sake of practicality, it needs something more:
1. Call to House - if you're going to make it in an inconvenient location, give me a way to get there from anywhere. I don't want to run through (or load) several zones to get there.
OR - ability to bind the zone in to this to any housing location - i.e. if i'm currently living in East Freeport, allow me to zone in to this thing from the same door. Or even from my current house - this could be like country estate.
2. Amenities - if you're going to make move away from all the amenities I have beside my current house, this should have a mender, signet peddler, broker and junk buyer inside.
3. Rent-free part is awesome. Give us the option of making our own house rent-free instead. For those that don't want to move to an inconvenient location - as in, separate the rent-free piece form this house and make it applicable to one house per character or whatever.
It's great to have a beautiful rent free house. It's not so good to have it way out of the way, where it's not convenient to get to or to do my other business. It shouldn't be just a decorator's toy. For those of us who actually do stuff in game other than decorate houses, it should be functional.
The home is accessed from South Freeport or South Qeynos. How is that more out of the way than normal?
