It's where many of us built our first virtual homes (way before we knew what the heck a mortgage is), proudly showed off our achievements, hosted house parties with friends and spent far too much time figuring out where to put that next portal. It was our corner of Gielinor. A place that was uniquely ours! But as RuneScape continued to grow, Player-Owned Housing remained largely unchanged. The fantasy of building and customising your own home has always been there, but the tools available to bring that vision to life haven't kept pace with the game around it. Well... that changes TODAY! Today, we're excited to share the next chapter of Player-Owned Housing and Construction. This isn't just an update to an already existing feature. It's a complete reimagining of one of RuneScape's most iconic systems, rebuilt from the ground up to give you more freedom, more creativity, more progression and more reasons than EVER to call this little plot of land your home! And better yet, just like our Dungeoneering overhaul, this rework is intended to set a foundation that can enable both the Player-Owned-House and the Construction skill to continue to develop and expand in future. Whether you're dreaming of a cosy cottage tucked away from the world, a huge mansion filled with all the trophies you've collected on your adventures, or a bustling Homestead shared with your friends, this update is designed to help you create a space that reflects your journey. Welcome home! ##### Blog Index - What's new and why we're so excited - Build the home you've always wanted - Proudly display your journey - A house you'll actually use - Create or join a Homestead with other players - Construction reimagined - What's happening with your old home - Getting Started - Get your Housewarming Gift ##### What's New and Why We're So Excited Let's start with the easiest of questions: Who is this update for?
