I love this idea It would allow people to purchase, or rent, homes. Buying a home you must select a site, pay for the site, pay for contruction, maintain it. It would add a depth of RP. Give people a place to keep trophies, maybe show a list of their accomplishments (via a sign) could have guard mobs that require pay. Would also add a level of depth that I doubt anyone would dislike. Just a thought, rough idea, that needs expanded upon.
Player Housing
That is what for custom clans are.
The only problem I see is, what happens to someone's house once the character is gone?
I could also suggest the tribunals selling the sites on which houses are built. Prices should be entirely decided by the Tribunal (Council). This would open HUGE RP possibilities. They could be extremely costy up to free 
That is what for custom clans are.
Wtf do custom clans have to do with houses?
When a char is gone/cabal booted/no longer pays/deletes then their house is "demolished" and the site is ready for sale again.
people dont live long enough, except on rare occasions, to really have any use for housing.
You can build special rooms via application anyways. In the rare case that a char really wants a house, just write up the desc and a good application and post it on prayer.
I already have a house and it comes with all you can eat human hands.
In my house there would be forever lasting party, you are all invited 
There would be beer drinkin contest.

Caidon appears in the room.
Caidon kicks you in the stomach making you vomit.
You feel as if you've been resurrected.
Caidon the almighty holy father I bet that this guy is a priest in the RL
I bet that if I slap him in RL, he will turn the other cheek.

Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally?!
i need a crib for all my hot rides yo!
Ok you had me til that one. Now I am completely lost.
I like the idea. It has some interesting rp-potential.
As far as what happens to it when the player is gone... maybe it should require a steady amount of maintenance. If a player doesn't keep up with the upkeep, it deteriorates and eventually becomes rubble. 
I am against player housing.
Why?
-
People would know where to find you half the time...easily...at your home....
-
My characters are too poor for housing. I live at the Tribby YMCA.
-
People don't want to come outside when it snows. Heck, they probably won't shovel the sidewalks in front of their houses. Lazy bastards.
-
They'll buy a Herald2000 computer and probably start playing some text-based game and never come out to RP or PK or hunt or...well...anything. You know it's bad when a character in a text based game starts playing a character in a text-based game.

shrug I dunno...I'm outta ideas....I just don't actually see the point, except you guys must be bored to wanna pimp yo rides and dust your vases.

I think the point is it would be another (optional) avenue for RP... a bit of a perk that doesn't change anything balance-wise.
And like foxx suggested, it might even help create/encourage a player-controlled economy.
Shrug, just thought it was a cool idea. Might be too much work involved for its worth though.
I wonder how interesting it would be if there was a penalty for sleeping outside?
When its cold, you dont get as restful a sleep as you would if it was warm and comfortable?
That would increase the NEED for indoor areas.
Then you could make the rooms in a inn/tavern have a nopass/telelocked room that ONLY allow you in when you are hurt. As soon as you hit full hp/mana/move you get automatically booted out and the key dissolves.
It would also have to have a bloody period on it...
I think that could be quite interesting.
No...
