Living out in the country, far, far away from any city, I would like to be able to purchase a lot from the "Planentary Land Commission" or something and have a lot of land that I own that does not have a house on it.
I would like to have zoning rights to that land so that if I want to put a garden in next to my house, I could.
Or if I wanted to buy the two lots on either side of my house, I could just to keep someone from building right next door.
I don't mind paying extra taxes for developing the land (with a garden or fountain). I think it would add a little more realism to the game to be able to have a house in the country with a yard.
Just a thought

I think this is a great idea. Not everyone havests tons or resources or crafts using factories.
It would be nice to have my own space freeof pesky neighbors. You could even have your own
estate.They could even add some some content to architects by making craftablestructures
like sorounding walls and gardens, maybe even plants and landscaping. I would love to have my
own Estate like the Darklighters on Tatooine. Awesome idea Kin-Char!

I like the idea too
Also maybe this would be possible for purchasing additional lots as well! Darn good idea dude, and this would also make the "I hate lot swapping" buttmunchers be still for a bit too! Would completely elliminate the need and create the much needed money sink to justify un-nerfing solo groups as well! ***** for YOU!

The only problem is, it would be way too limited. Only a handful of players could own space, and once all rentable space is gone, no one else could get any.

Perhaps then say a 10 to 20 lot max on what you could buy then? That would keep it down I would think

I LOVE this idea Kin-Char. good thinking. yeah say we can purchase enough space to have a couple of houses and garden. or purchase an extra 10 Lot spaces. This would be very helpful for me as a crafter, as i currently have a small house (2lots) and the rest are used for getting resources for my Shipwright business, as i ont buy resources from vendors (i perfer to harvest it myself so i can charge cheaper prices). perhaps we could be charged weekly/monthly for the space or lots thus creating another money sink, that so many people (and SOE) want. Ok i dont ever have much money myself but i'd be willing to see this idea put into the game

I agree. It is a great idea but the amount of space you can purchase (or even rent) should be VERY limited.

This is a great idea!
Eachlot of land purchased should be about the samesize as a small house. you could buy up to your character's maximum 10 lots, and each lot would cost the same maintenance as a small house.
