NO, allowing players to build houses in Everquest would ruin it just
like it did UO after a while the UO world became crowded with houses and
after a while you couldn't find any place tio set tehm and it messed up the
spawn. maybe renting them to guilds is a good idea but letting playersd make
their own houses is a really bad mistake.
