Player Housing for Members?

I was just browsing the site and encountered this term under Shop on the Membership Page, in the list of what Subscribers receive for their membership.

What is meant by Player Housing? To my knowledge, members have the exact same options for housing as free-to-play. We pay the same amounts of gold/Crowns in the Crown Shop for everything. Don't we?

Perhaps it refers to the Bank/Shared Bank? Members get more space in these than Free to Play gamers. In some games I've played, some housing depended on whether you were a member or not.

I don't think Pirate101 members get larger banks. I have both membership and a free-to-play account and the banks are exactly the same.

Yes, but there are definitely differences in backpacks.

However. Members can expand their Banks and Backpacks with a Potion to a max of 200 spaces. I wish that I could also expand my Shared Bank too!

Can't non-members purchase those elixirs?

Yes, but since we have smaller backpacks in the first place, they don't go all the way to 200. 160, I think?

To me, backpacks and bank spaced do not equal Player Housing. I would really like to know what was intended by the phrase.

After looking at the page, I would ask Support under the Help menu.

You're right, particularly as the extra bank and backpack space are listed as separate benefits. I have no idea, though, because my member accounts and non-member accounts seem to be exactly alike other than those two things and the whole having to purchase an area to play in it.
