It would be nice if you can hunt some inactive houses and capture it for yourself.And take safe loot... I heard there is american culture to hunt warehouse containers of inactive ppl.
House banks are now tied to your regular bank. Also when you cap a house you get none of the old items that were in it anymore. The old way was fun but I think this was also put in as a way to get rid of unused items from economy. And the House banks were bugged to shit. Years ago I had mine dupe all the shit I took out the day before multiple times. I reported it but it still happened months later so my guess is it was better to get rid of the personal safe.
When house owner loosing ownership,house dissapears to nowhere now...this is sad.Isnt it better if active players can capture it and live there,like it was in old days??Loot inactive safes is very good for full loot game.
There was a lot of fun around houses back in DF1 I don't understand why they changed it in RoA, I still remember fighting like 6 v 12 for like an hour over a LV at Harjik, was a fun fight and they constantly kept coming back. Eventually we won and I claimed the LV and got like 2 mill gold worth of loot and split the loot between the 5 people who helped me cap it. There was also plenty of other fun fights over houses, I think it was umberto who got rich as fuck capping houses, he always seemed to manage to cap them some how if I remember right. It was also nice to have a secondary bank for bank space, I guess selling bank slots is one of the reasons it was changed, the problem is with the changes they made to houses + the AH (vendors are now pointless), and the billboard system houses are kinda meh now.
