The same attitudes perpetuate and groups stick to themselves as per usual if they want to roleplay with specific people and there's honestly not much of a problem with it? If people want to curate their own fun, let em'. It harms absolutely no one because again at the end of the day: If people want to roleplay with their friends, they'll roleplay with their friends: private housing or not; they don't have to roleplay on the game itself.  There's already enough incentive to go around in public areas/hubs for RP: you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink.

This is pretty much my thoughts. You can force people out of public housing, but you aren't going to change how this game and the community works. You can try to force them into doing more public rp, but that's not going to break the private groups. I find it honestly weird that it was so vilified to simply play with an exclusive group of friends. At least back on G6, you weren't harming anyone by doing that, and anyone could do the same thing. Nobody is entitled to anyone's public presence or rp.

I think we would have the chance to have the best of both worlds if there was a bit of enforcement for the private housing to be actually a house in the world in that specific location. So people can have a house, a bar, an inn, or whatever. But preventing people from making massive castles or unrelated maps in the middle of a city.

Currently if I want to roleplay in my house I'm just gonna stand in the street in front of a house and roleplay, and it sucks. But like, come on, I just want to roleplay a private scene. Why did people come to think of that as a bad thing?

I also want to mention that it's ridiculous that 99% of characters in this world are homeless in-character. Everyone is just sleeping in inns, and a shocking amount of people just sleep wherever, in the wilderness or in a cave... Come on man.

But yeah, properly IC housing would be sick. Enforce proper IC and I think it'll add a lot to this world. Just think of how cool it would be to see detailed housing of each different culture? And in a different location we could also have specific spaces that are dedicated to eventmin stuff.
