Again copying guild wars 2?
Ultima online had player housing in 97, it's not exactly breakthrough tech
There were probably text based online games (MUX/MUSH/MUD/...) that had it even earlier.
There are unused assets in the original World of Warcraft that suggested a player housing system was being developed but never finished. The idea is as old as MMORPGs are.
The Anime/Manga/video game series dotHack, which is about a fake MMORPG, predates WoW by several years and has player housing for some of the characters.
I think FFXIV has a housing system for a very long time now.
yea true. wow just recently copied the gw2 flying mounts and gw2 just released its expansion with housing this year. definitely not a new thing in mmo
It’s copying Star Wars Galaxies. Never forget what they took from us.
Asheron's Call hit up player housing early on too.
