Thought I'd look at the claims of cost in the original suggestion, it was interesting to compare. That said, I like my house, I use it all the time and find it preferable to sitting on a ship. I wouldn't be opposed to sigil-like housing upgrades, given all the new order temples seem to have been populated with them as well, but again, convenience comes at a cost. I don't expect that we'll make housing any cheaper for anyone.

In regards to preservation of items, players do have to pay for this in some fashion (ice figurines or credits) because there is something of a load on the server created by the sheer number of items in the game. Simple ways that create mass preservation effects for gold or very little effort are very unlikely to be added to the game beyond what exists now.
This is primarily as the owner of an OOS property who has plans on making it public, a rather niche group (though at least I'm not completely alone), but as far as I'm aware there aren't any options for personal customisation in this regard (even though I'd probably be willing to go that route as long as the end result covered the above utility).
The way the organizations are, frequent combatants are generally enemied to every city other than their own and maybe Cyrene. So enemy statuses are a complete non-punishment since they're damn near the default status of anybody who gets into conflict.
Similarly, why is Mhaldor or Ashtan or Targossas or the like going to care if one of their citizens steals from their enemies? You can come to a Targossan complaining about how Antidas stole from a Mhaldorian and the response you'll get is probably "Good, fuck Mhaldor". This makes it hard to apply organizational pressure to a thief from one of the more conflict-oriented orgs.
PK is another non-punishment. Once you hit Dragon experience losses are utterly meaningless, so nobody cares about death.
The complete lack of meaningful consequences for thievery here makes thievery here feel especially shitty. A moment of carelessness or an unexpected period of dormancy can cost a person hard to replace things like rare one-time items or objects of extreme sentimental value, while the thief risks maybe a couple of tenths of a percent of experience?
That's a shitty tradeoff and it's part of why almost everybody is against thievery here.
Unless our crazy imaginary scenario is that someone will constantly break into my house for no reason, kill my servants, and politely leave, never bothering anyone inside. I guess if you somehow don't bother me, there's no reason to issue you, but I'd probably ask the admins for a refund on the guards if they're okay with another player making them useless for no actual IC reason.
You're right. @Kiet is right too, and @Nicola is wrong.
Make housing as safe as ships. Then I won't need guards to deal with pickpockets.
I would still like no prism to be upgradeable to no travel so we have the option to bypass sigil upkeep. The cost factor is what would deter people, so it would be a mere convenience thing - you could still just buy monoliths. But this would also enable outdoor rooms to actually be used instead of being a security risk.
Essentially, I just want more options for housing overall. I'm not really sure that guards that can actually hit are necessary given the playerbase's penchant for guard killing, and servants are expensive. But I'd certainly like the option to have that denizen category in housing denizens, as mentioned.
Edit above: Not really housing related but I really would love it if the items in display cases could be interacted with. Their interactions are half the reason they're special and worth preserving in the first place. Also please let me make certain talismans resetting to a home.

More on topic: I'd get house guards for pure cosmetic reasons. I don't mind them being useless.
Though I did consider carefully if hiring was appropriate, but I figured after the threats and such, any PKer would have probably considered attacking you too. You know, later, when you're not surrounded by citymates, not unlike a mark!
Plus, they're always complaining about being starving. o.o
