It's not that huge grind to build a small house, just let those who want to do it knowing it will be gone at some point do it. Maybe allow two houses - one per continent. It will make that new instance a bit more popular which will help in beating the queue boss. The closer it is to the mainland the better. No one will want to live on myrland demo.
Nah I'm good. lol. I never needed a house before, and neither do you. Experience the free flowing world, pvp, have fun! Come back to town.
I literally AM going to live in the Myrland demo because I like MO gameplay and world. I don't care about pixels and TC. The fact that, like I said, most people are offended by this, is great for me! It's a totally different game type for a different type of gamer.
Also, I am hoping for more than once instance!
Edit: And I think they might be surprised that it will be more of a success than you think (e.g. many people don't want/need TC... and they can leave them and never merge them, at least one
)
