If EQ3 Hypothetically were in development, what would you suggest?

I think Runescape implemented it pretty well, at least at first (the disclaimer because I haven't touched that game in ~10 years). Housing wasn't simply a "Barbie decorate house" in that game; rather it was a designed currency sink as well as used for leveling some of that game's other skills and also used for travel purpose. Houses were a nice addition there. Notably they were also kept in their own instance outside the normal game world. This is definitely the exception though. Most games seem to be less thoughtful and simply do the "Barbie decorate" implementation which is uniformly pointless and a waste of development manhours.

Ultima Online did it right for a bit, then it got kinda stupid with the over customization

I had that as a theory when I heard about houses. I couldn't even begin to touch making an Ultima Online. But it would be nice to try one day.
