Supermassive basements

One of the few good ideas that I had in the early days was to suggest basements in the houses. I always wanted to have one in Ultima Online, they are perfect places to imprison enemies, secret meetings or to breed your dinosaurs. One dev (Bzus) replied the thread and Portalarium planned to include them in the next episode, but finally we will have basements from the beginning!

I think that they are a great addition. They not only solve the problem of the house space without overloading the memory but they also bring more variety to the housing styles. Right now you already can find mines, arenas or other kind of basements up to five floors. :) 

And they can be very, very big, I got lost in one of of them. Well, I always get lost, but that will not stop me. I've already planned my little evil underground lair: 

*Vehicles not included, mounts will be added in the next episode.

If they do not offer the Batman cave (big mistake) I will choose the grotto of Phantom of the Opera. Or the normal stone basement, that one is also ok for a crimson crypt. My dark plans will be completed anyway.

So, the next time that you suppose that a village house is quite small you should remember: That little den with a single room could be above an underground world.
