ققشلا

ققشلا provide instanced player housing functionality on a rental basis.

• Village ( ﺡﺮﺴﻤﻟﺍ 3) apartment buildings offer 50 rental apartments. Additional apartments can be added at Town ( ﺡﺮﺴﻤﻟﺍ 4) if the mayor chooses to construct them and if there is an available plot for the expansion. This includes different types of apartments, such as penthouses.
• The number and sizes of available apartments increases as a normal part of node advancement.
• It is estimated that the number of apartments available in a Metropolis ( ﺡﺮﺴﻤﻟﺍ 6) node will be in the hundreds, if that node specs into all apartment expansion upgrades. This number is subject to change based on testing.
• Prices for apartments will fluctuate depending on the number of units already sold in the node.
• Different price points offer different apartment sizes and types, such as penthouses.
• It was previously stated that apartments would be available at Town ( ﺡﺮﺴﻤﻟﺍ 4) or above.

The mayor may additionally construct apartment buildings when the node hits stage 4 at one of the building plots in the node, along with cities gaining additional static housing and apartments by default as a normal part of the leveling process. – Steven Sharif

Apartment destructibility

ققشلا may be destroyed in the following circumstances:

• If their building was destroyed during a node siege, even if the siege was not successful.

• If the mayor decides to destroy apartment buildings all items and layouts will be mailed to the owner.

• If a mayor built extra apartment buildings at Town ( ﺡﺮﺴﻤﻟﺍ 4) or higher and the Node deleveled below that stage.

Destructible environments

Alpha-2 Destructible props at the Remains of Oakenbane Keep.

Destructible environments is a core element of how players interact with the world, in Ashes of Creation.

• Buildings, siege weapons and other structures (such as walls and gates) during events, such as sieges that have been damaged or destroyed will be able to be repaired or re-crafted.
• Destructible props in the open-world will typically respawn after 10 minutes.
• The terrain itself is not destructible.

Housing decorations

Alpha-1 housing decorations.

Alpha-2 freehold homestead with furnishing and decorations.

Players may decorate their player housing and other types of buildings.

• Houses will be empty when purchased.
  • Players may be able to upgrade to pre-furnished sets when they purchase their home.
  • Pre-furnished sets will be almost entirely visual and aesthetic. Only items crafted by the Carpentry profession will have in-game functionality.

• Players may place furniture, artwork/paintings and other decor items in their player housing.
  • Items may only be placed in locations that are suitable for that item. For example: Statues, may only be placed in exterior locations (of ةرحلا and Static housing).

• Each size, grade, and type of player-owned housing determines the number and type of items that can be placed in it. For example: You can place only the best furniture in mansion grade in-node housing.
  • Building skins may change the shape of a homestead but the space available for furnishings should remain consistent.

  When it comes to if you put a cosmetic house on top of your normal house, those cosmetics should be similar in size. The shape will change, so maybe the room layout will be different, but it'll still be like a one-story building. – Margaret Krohn

• Characters will be able to interact with furniture items such as sit in chairs and lay in beds.
• Players will not be able to alter structural aspects such as windows and walls.
• There may be decor items that are representative of unique weapons that are available in the game.

Quality furniture can be crafted in-game based on the skill of the craftsperson and availability of recipes, components and workbenches suitable to craft them.

• Furnishing items with in-game functionality will be restricted entirely to those created by the Carpentry profession.

Your ability to craft more luxurious furniture comes with how much of a master craftsman you've become in the furnishing profession... This isn't like , I want my house to look good, I got to fork over 50 bucks in cosmetics... Players can craft in-game based on their dedication and focus in that aspect the artisan tree. – Steven Sharif

If you were to think about the level of exclusivity between the different types of housing that we have, obviously the most exclusive when it comes to a quantity is going to be Freeholds, followed by In-node housing, followed by Apartments, then followed by Inns. – Steven Sharif

Real estate

Players buy the deeds for housing from the node itself, or may buy and sell properties from other players.

• The developers are considering an auction-based method for listing new properties that become available for purchase when a node advances. Currently freeholds may be acquired via auction.
  • A grace period will occur before the housing becomes available for auction.
  • Bids will then be accepted starting at a minimum reserve value that is based on the number of citizens in that node.
  • At the end of the auction, the highest bidder will win the house.

• Housing will have a base price that scales with the number of citizens in the node.
  • There is no cap on the price of player-originated housing sales.
  • In-node housing will be at a premium, and is expected to be hotly contested.
  • The more apartments that have been purchased in a node, the higher the price scales.

• Player housing that is destroyed during a node siege can no longer be sold.

• Freehold plots may be purchased from and sold to other players, or can be obtained via deeds issued by a Village ( ﺡﺮﺴﻤﻟﺍ 3) or higher node.
  • The seller may decide if their freehold should be auctioned or sold directly to other players.
  • Previously it was stated that freeholds may not be sold to other players.
  • Players cannot be denied from buying a freehold.

We're establishing a real estate market that players can invest in and then sell within the in-game economy, but also they are a resource that's subject to removal through the sieging system as well, so there's a bit of risk implied there but the idea is that this is something for players to strive for. – Steven Sharif

• Housing ownership can default back to the node if the owner fails to pay their property taxes. A balance and penalties will be charged to the new purchaser of the home in the manner of a "foreclosure process".
• Players will not be able to exceed their allotment of housing in the game.
