Some societies allow anyone in. Those are the rank 1 societies. The higher rank ones are for after you reach level 10 in crafting, and specalize some. Which ones will let you in depends on which way you choose to go with your crafting.
But you're really only going to use your rank 2 place to buy your advanced books, then go back to your old crafting haunts.

I tend to see more variation in the Commonlands, etc. There are still "classes" of armor however. So you will still see chain, plate, cloth, etc. Also keep in mind that anyone can do the basic newbie armor stuff, so most people do, hence most people end up looking the same.

quote:
Maradon! had this to say about Pirotess:
To be honest I'm curious how the player housing works. I wish WoW had a mog house
Once you get to the city, you go through a little quest that gets you set up in that part of the city, and a few items for your house. Basic inn rooms (the default) are free at first, then they cost 5 silver every five days.
You can right-click on the door to set some access options. Mostly, who can enter your room/house, and what they can do while they're in there. Visitor is the best setting if you want people to be able to look at it, they can come in and look but not move/change anything. Friend access allows them to move things around. Trustee allows them to add/remove things (excluding No-Trade items) from the house. You can set a default level of access, as well as access on a character-by-character basis. (Yes, there is a None access setting too, naturally.)
Better inn rooms and actual houses can be found in the central areas of the cities. These cost (much) more, as well as a form of "reputation" that you can earn with the city. (I'm not too clear on just how to earn it yet, sorry.) These will cost alot to get, with the upkeep payments being somewhat smaller than the first payment.
All houses are instanced zones, and multiple people will have their inn rooms off of the same door. The unlimited inn room effect in the starting inns is kinda odd, but it does keep someone else from getting the house you want and thereby locking you out of it.
Within the room/house, you can place items (right click on it in inventory, select "Place", and it will become something you can move around and drop anywhere that the item shows green). Some quests give you items just for your home. The Gnoll mastery quest, for example, gives you a weapon to mount on your wall. You can also buy pets to keep in your house, but they are expensive.
You can customize the walls/floor/ect. of the house by right clicking on them when the cursor becomes a little saw&hammer icon. I think the options allowed are restricted by level and type of room/house. I'm not totally sure yet.
Finally, there is the market board. This is easily found on merchants throughout the city, and looks like a corkboard with announcments on it when you place it on the wall. This gives you the abilty to sell items as a merchant. You put the stuff you want to sell into your inventory, then use the board. You set prices on the stuff you want to sell (you don't have to sell everything in your inventory, default is "not for sale") and hit the "Start Selling" button. Untill you cancel this or leave the inn room, anyone looking through the market can see what you're selling and for how much (they can right-click on the item to see stats and such). This also sets the default access to your house at "Visitor", so they can come in and buy from you (it's much like buying from an NPC, you don't have to do anything).
Also, a quick word on the market: You can view the things for sale in the market at your market board, or at a broker. If you see something you want (and there are various sorting tools to help you find things), you can go to that person's house to buy it from them. If you are dealing with a broker, you can also pay 20% extra (the extra goes to the broker) and get it without the trip. It's also important to note that the markets for each city are seperate, a person in Freeport can't use the broker to buy something from someone in Qeynos. However, hidden in each city is one Fence. The Fence will give you access to the other city's market, but charges 40% instead of the usual 20%. Anyway, housing is good if you want to sell stuff to other players.
If you're not into selling stuff like that, and don't care about having an inn room, you really don't need one. Take it or leave it as you wish, it won't hurt your ability to go out and kick ass.

Had no intention of putting a number on them. There just happens to be 633 listed on that site I posted. Many of them are lowbie quests which are a wonderful guide while you're getting started. Keeps you in enough coin and armor to not need to buy much of anything.

I was in Stormwind with my priest. In stormwind, there's a swirly instance portal that's blocked by huge iron bars. I asked Rosa if she knows where it's supposed to lead to, and she mentioned that she was told it'll eventually lead to player-housing. Which tells me that it'll be instanced housing like FFXI, though I doubt we'll have a mog butler or anything.
What I'm curious about is furnishings - will there be a new tradeskill for furniture, will it all be dropped, will the furnishings be automatically provided (And thus, not customisable?), or will there be purchants.

But there's one in Orgrimmar, too, but none in TB or Undercity. It would seem odd to be unable to have a house in those cities.
Personally I was hoping they'd add in player housing in the battlegrounds, such that if your faction lost control of a particular battleground, you'd lose access to your house until it was retaken. Now that would put a serious spin on PVP.

18. After doing the quests I posted above, I now look like I'm wearing rusty chainmail, with a rusty shield instead of a sludge covered one. Progress I suppose.
19. I spent far too much getting an oaken bed for my inn room, so at least I have somewhere to sleep at night... if I can only figure out how to lie on the bed...
20. I can carry a bench in my backpack, but I can't put a commemorative coin on a table.
21. Are there artisan essential books one and two? The lowest I can find is three for sale.
22. What are all these tradeskillers doing when they stand at the same stations for hours without ever moving from their spots?

SWG housing has spoiled me, though. I loved the housing system in that game. It might have been a bit of work /move up 5, /move forward 50, /rotate 90, etc... but it also allowed a patient person to get more or less every single aspect of their home customized to perfection!

Chance are if they're not moving for hours in the tradeskill thing, the person's AFK. People do that. It angers me. As if the place wasn't small enough already, you have idiots who go in and AFK for hours. Not that it blocks the machines or anything (multiple people can be at one station at one time). I mean jeez...go outside and idle.

Nope. When you do Dreak's quest in the Isle of Refuge, or when you progress to the main land, you automatically become artisan lv 2, with the tin bar and spike recipies. After another 2-3 more combines, you'll be 3 anyway.

24. Spell book fragments! In between skewering glowmyst beetles and doing the kamaikaze "Sprint into the Forest Ruins far enough to 'see' the Mage Tower and run back out with a big train behind me" quest, I came across two, or was it one? spell book fragments. Odd, I looted two, but could only see one in my inventory.
So, I trudges over to the Mage Tower, and talk to one of the mages, and turn in one of the spell book fragments for some coin. Sweet. But I still see (the) one in my inventory... is it the second one I couldn't find, or did I just get the first one back? None of the mages will notice I have it... and the one busting out the Kung Foo doesn't say anything...
