Read!!! Ignorance is no excuse and is not bliss 
heh . The most productive stratics chat in history.
-------------------------
Sprite - *Icidian* How many different types of homes will there be in the 30 home neighborhoods?
Scenario - Each neighborhood will have thirty houses. Out of those thirty - 16 are "Tier 1", 10 are "Tier 2" and 4 are Kinship Homes.
-------------------------
Sprite - *Mirbain* Will Kinship Housing have Crafting areas? [Also how much will housing cost and will there be a continous fee to keep a house?
Keth - Well, we have definitely been talking about how to incorporate crafting and forges into housing, however we aren't sure what shape that will take yet.
Keth - We want to promote a sense of neighborhood in our housing, so it may appear as part of that, or it may appear as part of kinship housing.
Keth - Or it might appear as something altogether different.
Keth - As for costs, I can't get into that yet, because that's still being determined, however there will be an initial cost to purchase a house and regular upkeep.
Keth - We want to make sure that the cost and the upkeep are within the reach of everyone, so don't get too worried about costs yet.
---------------------
Sprite - *Theoldwizard* Hello, I also have a question about the houses, will they be able to be customized? Or will it be just one way
Keth - (we now return you to your regularly scheduled program.)
Scenario - Home-owners will be able to decorate the interiors and exteriors of their homes with a variety of different furnishings, some obtained from a vendor, others by crafting and some through the trials of battle. You will also be able to modify the colors and materials used to construct the interiors of your home.
---------------------------
Sprite - *Sariana* Evening... I was wondering if there were any plans to add more bag space? Perhaps Horse pouches on the sadlle with extra space? I craft WAY too much and I am always out of room
Constant - We'll be giving out storage in the housing update. Although we haven't nailed down how much as of yet.
------------------------------
Sprite - *lokk* How will payment for housing work? Will it be similar to AC1's special items?
Keth - Pretty much, it's just money! No special items will be needed.
--------------------------------
Sprite - *Theoldwizard* May I ask, will there be a level required for houses like horses?
Keth - There will be a level requirement, although what the specific level will be is under discussion.
Keth - I can say though that Tier 1 houses will be easily in the reach of most players.
---------------------------------
Sprite - *Icidian* Some have mentioned the ability to decorate more than just the inside of your home. How much of an area are we talking about; a front yard, courtyards or acres?
Scenario - Each house will get a yard that players can decorate with various odds and ends. The amount of space available to decorate will vary on the type of house. Small Homes (Tier 1) get a small yard, while Kinship Homes cover a significant amount of real estate.
---------------------------------
Sprite - *Valfelan* most items cannot be dropped out of packs without being destroyed, will housing have a drop and lockdown system or chest type storage, and if so how much storage?
Constant - We are in the middle of tense negotiations as to size, but rest assured you will have your own chests.
----------------------------------
Sprite - *PieBandit* You mentioned different tiers but will there be different racial type houses: hobbit holes, dwarf housing, etc...? heh dwarf housing
Scenario - Book 11 will ship with four neighborhood types - a style that follows the look and feel of each player race. There won't be race restrictions on purchasing a home - so if you are an Elf that really wants a smial, you can purchase one.
