With the word that Guild Wars 2’s next expansion will feature player housing — homesteads in the game’s parlance — everyone seems to be talking about virtual homes.

Every morning, the Massively Overpowered writers team up with mascot Mo to ask MMORPG players pointed questions about the massively multiplayer online roleplaying genre. Grab a mug of your preferred beverage and take a stab at answering the question posed in today’s Daily Grind!
