Player Housing.
You guys wanna use a pre-existing random house/area in the game, power to you. Joe won't mind, i'm sure, if you use his house for whatever you like. Or if you want to say your char owns one of the places on the docks.. or whaaaatever.
But, player housing is listed in game, ICly as purchasable homes. That's already there. Not ignoring that. All player housing is EMPTY until purchased. THAT is in game. You even get this little pamphlet with a list of all the player homes for sale. Where, in this case, you are looking at buying your own personal shard, a pocket dimension, of the land/home listed.
When you get a room at an inn, it's the same door everyone uses. You step through that door, and you're in your own room, having been attuned to that little pocket realm where your room is.
In this game, our characters are jumping in and out of worlds and dimensions like it's as common as going from one room to another. Because it IS common in the world of ESO.
You wanna store something somewhere safe... Just go shove it in another dimension somewhere like it's a storage unit. (they do that, in game).
The Psijic Order is the highest level of mages anywhere. They deal with time, and space, and literally everything in between. Is it SUCH a stretch, that player housing are pocket dimensions. Where when you purchase a deed for a home, for player or guild housing, the Psijic Mages just create a "shard", a pocket dimension, and give you the power to control that shard. This enables everyone to 'have the same house' or 'same plot of land', and yet NOT, have the SAME house or plot of land.
Player homes have set locations. That's there, it's a fact, it's in game. There ARE NOT similar homes wherever you want them to be, because when you are on the outside walking up, there is only one way that leads to them, and when you leave, you come out in the same place as the player home. You wanna have a snowflake home that is ALL YOURS, in its OWN spot in the world, go out in the world WoW style, and find one that isn't occupied and use that.
It would help explain why there aren't clogged cities and apartment complexes and stuff in Tamriel.
You say, what are the odds we will be dealing with someone who has the same house anyway.
i don't think like that. That is narrow-minded thinking. i think of the larger picture. i try to think of all-inclusive of everyone in the game. All those we may be RPing with at some point. You don't want to see past maybe RPing with like three people in 17 years, that's cool. But i can't think like that. i try to head off issues before they are, "oh hey, i have this exact same house"... Hundings Palace for example, is a POPULAR home.
With the 'Shard' idea, it becomes as common as saying, oh, you have that pair of sneakers? So do i! They're great huh? Only in this case, you're not talking about sneakers.
(*Side note, In EQ2, they made the housing lore friendly by introducing the Chornomages (Psijic Mage equivalents). They approached the idea like a DnD bottomless bag. When you purchased a deed for player or guild housing, the chornomages created a "shard", a pocket dimension, and gave you the power to control that shard. In EQ2 there is literally a tear in the fabric of reality in both Qeynos and Freeport that teleports you to any of the player housing you own. That took care of any "Well, I own that and this NPC owned that first" from a lore perspective. You purchased a copy in your own dimensional shard.)
