Ah, player housing. Of all the wonderful trinkets promised to us during an MMO’s development cycle, player housing is the most often to be cast to the wayside.

The next post I make will likely showcase the penultimate area of the final dungeon, after which we’ll be entering a bit of a gray area of development. I’ll be putting together a “state of the union” address for sometime next week, where I will outline the next stages of...
