"A lot of the housing system is still "under wraps", but I can give the basic framework. Housing is divided into two distinct purposes and two distinct types. The two purposes of housing are individual housing and social housing, and the two types of housing are inn housing and plot housing."
Housing was only one of the several topics discussed in the interview. Gameplay, effect of "item wear", economy of the game, player vs player combat, character development, and death penalties were all discussed.
