While I was working on the organization chart and ranks last night, I started thinking about the freeholds. Do you know what kind you want to build? Or do you know which ones you are interested in?
Here are the few I have seen listed, not sure if its all of them: Inns taverns forges smelters lumber yards mills stables
As a gatherer I am certainly interested in smelter and lumbar yard, however I must say I am really fascinated by the idea of doing an Inn or a tavern. I could see myself having several different characters just to see how the different freeholds work.
On the inns and taverns I am guessing you will set prices of the rooms, food, drink and other services. I am also assuming maybe the visitor will get some type of boost from staying there or eating certain meals. Maybe that's also part of it, is you decide what to serve depending on what types of bonuses that are handed out. Anyway, I am excited about those two.
Also as a guild with many members wanting to do freeholds, my hope would be that we would all buy/claim freeholds in the same area so that not only production between all of us would be easier but also the protection of those freeholds would be easier.
I am planning to have a position in the guild that is strategy based and I think freehold placement and types of freeholds placed would be something that would fall under their responsibility. Kind of like a city planner.
Anyway, since I suck at coming up with names maybe this thread will generate some conversation.

Right now I have an urge to do all of them haha. I'm sure I will narrow it down by then. Smelting/Forge seem like a good combo or maybe Tavern/Inn.

I agree, I think this is going to add so much to the game. Its going to give people a personal stake in the game of sorts.
I was showing my daughter the seasons last night and she was blown away.

lol she already said she wants to play it, so I am sure I will give her one of my Beta 1 keys. She will be starting college when it comes out so bad timing there. We currently play WoW together some.

I want to do a little of everything lol! You know get a feel of what I like more, but owning a tavern is something that caught my attention when they first mentioned it. So expect to see me do that first!
@locksmitharmy, I'll help you out with that buddy 😁!

Freehold specializing in breeding. Though if we are all focused on a node as a guild, I will aim for what benefits the guild most (what's its lacking most)
Though luckily it seems not many members want stables.

I've always wanted to run a tavern, haha. Though it does go hand in hand with an inn. I kind of wonder if a combination is possible. My first priority will be my own lil home, though. I'm pretty big on creating stories for my characters, role-playing, etc... thus the attachment to these things.

Love the posts and its fun to hear your points of view. We have some variety so we should be able to team up and do some cool stuff. Such as Me, Elaina and ishy all mentioned Tavern, however I would be willing to do an Inn and set up next to them so we could have an inn and a tavern.
I am sure there will be lots of gatherers and crafters hooking up to do the same. Hopefully we can find a good spot and dominate it with our guild. Then once a settlement starts to form, get in on the ground floor of that.

My girlfriend (who will br plaing with me) will deffinately build stabels and a farm. She loves growing thing and breeding animals, she will enjoy making pets and mounts A freehold can have many buildings, no reason you cant have an inn and tavern. I dobwonder how big a node is. Maybe have an inn and tavern at each of the cardinal poles sobwe can better support the influx of travellers. But if nodes are smaller it may not be wise to have too many of the same building

I am hoping there is some sort of Alchemy job in the game. I would definitely like to be an alchemist and make potions/stat increasing items for the guild. Possibly going along with the same idea, maybe a Chef. I have been one in real life and in some games the food can have stat changing effects so something like that would be cool as well.

I wonder how we decide where to put said freehold. Y'all have a preference for the type of biome?

I think a lot of it will depend on the type of Freehold, gatherers are gonna wanna be near their resource. Inns and Taverns are going to want to be near traffic and so on.
Might be we end up in kind of PODS instead of all the guild in one area. Certainly we will want to stay in the same Zone of Influence (ZOI).

I think we should try and gather info through the Alpha and get as much of a strategic node as possible. That is probably a given though. i would think that a biome with lots of rocks/mining would be cool. It would give us cover from attacks if we got decent placement as well as a mining advantages more than likely. If we are going for scenery a Tundra type biome might look pretty awesome.
