When housing was introduced with release 2005-08-10, it became one of the first truly customizable aspects of a pirate's life. Prior to this, there were limited ways to express one's self outside of painting the walls of a shoppe or a ship. The only other game element that involved placing and changing items was governorship of an island; a high profile post reserved for a select few.
The release of housing and furniture changed all this allowing for the first time full customization of a pirate's living quarters in the form of house choice, paint, furniture, and decorations. In addition to this, furniture also opened up a new merchanting enterprise and put more uses into the classic commodities.
