DAOC had some great housing setups, our consignment merchants/multiple vaults made it possible to really equip a whole crew, plus the economy aspect made it possible to get some great loot at decent prices. No one really "hung out" there but it was usually the start point for the nights activities. Could possibly add ticket porters that would function similar to JE jumps. Nothing sez lovin like buying looted gear from a CM for cutthroat prices.
