Housing sucks.

I haven't got one but was thinking about getting one to put a test skeleton dummy thing in.

I was waiting for Morrowind to come out, then waiting for Tel Galen to come out. Of course now that we know that Tel Galen is just going to be over priced crown Bull****, I'm probably going to get one soon.

Ha, housing. I have to clean up after myself enough if real life, why would I want to do it online?

Lets see now here, I've got one island manor, one large house, one small house and two apartments + three inn rooms. Not quite sure what to vote though.

I own 13 houses, 1 manor house, plus the 3 free inn rooms - 17 properties. All bought with in game gold as I refuse to pay hard cash for them.

I have all of the standard houses except the Imperial home as I do not have the Imperial Edition. I also have Gardner House and Daggerfall Overlook (manor), equipped with Armour Master crafting benches and a target skeleton.

I nearly have enough gold (about 12.5 million) to buy every other house except the last 2 manor houses - my goal is to own them all.

Perhaps 4+

I love housing. It's awesome. Yet... I don't own one. Not that I can't afford it, not that I don't have an interest... I just somehow end up not having one. Maybe tomorrow. Probably not, but still. Sense... it makes not.

Nope.

Not till it's useful for more than eye candy and a gold sink.

Housing was one the my 'most looked forard to' additions, but they managed to 'swing and a miss' so hard that I haven't even done the Quest to unlock housing.

No proper Guild Housing? No Storage? Derp.

Sitting on Millions + 4x,xxx Crowns and nothing to spend them on.

My answer isn't covered in your poll:

I have the three inn rooms (soon will have a fourth) and I have the crowns to buy a full house (Twin Arches will be mine; I adore Hundings but I think I can more effectively furnish Twin Arches. If I ever win a house of my choice on ESO Live, lol, well then I'll ask for a furnished Hundings most likely). I just haven't gotten around to it due to not spending enough time in ESO to give housing the time it needs. My Rosy Lion room is very nicely furnished with a furnishings pack plus one or two extra things, enough so that I'm reluctant to take anything out of it to put in a bigger house.

I don't put off playing ESO out of lack of interest, I do so because logging in and getting things done is a pretty long commitment in this game and somehow there's always shorter-term stuff to do elsewhere. I have to find a long afternoon in front of me with no one wanting my time for RP in other games and no spring cleaning to work on.

So: Not happy with just an inn room even though I like how I set it up, but don't have the nicer bigger house yet.

I spent 40k gold on humblemud & regret it coz I only very occasionally use it as a free teleport, when I could have spent that gold on tempers!

my single biggest frustration with housing has actually been almost entirely personal - they just didn't build a home in the places I wanted one...

I desperately wanted an alik'r home out in the middle of the desert away from people - many of the homes available are remote, but both the alik'r apartment and med size home (I wanted a bigger one) are right next to each other just outside a city

I also kinda wanted a home in rivenspire/shornhelm city, as that's where I do all my crafting and whatnot, but the only single home in rivenspire is med sized and out in some dinky town far far away from shornhelm - so, bunk on that

so, I settled for Hundings palace, which was a nice size and still had the deserty motif I wanted from an alik'r home but was reasonably remote on betnikh island - still, most of my criteria for homes I really want haven't been satisfied yet (region, location, size), so until they offer a wider range of housing options (give me a manor home in alik'r desert on some remote mesa-top somewhere, and I'll drop the first real cash on this game that I've ever spent just to get it) I'm just sticking with my hunding's which is a reasonable compromise between what's being offered and what I really, *really* want

but in general, I never expected much from housing, and although people whinge up and down the street about "functionality", I never had any illusions about how *functional* the homes would be, and in fact, I'm mildly impressed that they make your bankers/shopkeeper and crafting stations available in your home, which I figure is a nice addition. Less worried about the test dummies, but they ARE functional, so that's a nice perk too

of course, my perspective *could* be somewhat skewed - I still sub, so between my recently doubled bank space and my crafting bags, I'm pretty much golden as far as storage goes

@phermitgb that was a big problem for me too. Well, I was looking for different things but had the same issue - none of the houses were quite right.

I wanted a small house with some outside space in Glenumbra or Stormhaven. When the list of houses was first announced I thought Captain Margaux's Place (small house in Daggerfall) would be perfect. Then I saw it and not only was it only barely bigger than the apartment but it's just so square. It was really hard to imagine anything interesting to do with it.

There are houses which would be perfect - Autumn's Gate, Cyrodilic Jungle House, even Black Vine Villa. But they're all in the wrong locations.

After a lot of experimentation on the PTS and debating with myself I settled on Mournoth Keep. It costs more than I'd wanted to spend (about 6 times more gold than I'd ever had at one time) and is slightly bigger than I really wanted, but the location is almost exactly right, the layout is almost perfect and it looks beautiful (to me anyway).
