These structures allow players to sell goods, as well as train others. Since most players can't afford their own places, there will be many rentals available in most of the major cities. Some rentals will be nice, and some will be small shacks. Depending on the location and quality, the price will vary. Some players will be happy with their rental, and not interested in building a house because of the hassle.
Players can also rent lockboxes and vaults from the local banks for storing items.
Lots and Zoning Players can only purchase land in government zoned areas. Only once land is purchased can a player build a house. We may consider a 'lottery' system for players who are applying for a specific piece of land - it depends on how many players try to build their own place. Assignment of existing structures Characters who gain specific titles through deeds, wealth, or faction standing might find themselves being offered a structure that already exists. Perhaps they would be offered the manor on the hill, or a wizard's tower.
