I do really like the design, but I agree it would be perfect if it could have the full 700 slots. Originally I was of the mind I wouldn't buy it as a medium slot home if it wasn't for in game gold, but the choice to have it bundled with not quite half price crowns is tempting.

I think, since it's already been released, instead of changing the current bundle, I would love the option to purchase a crown 'upgrade' in game for more furnishing slots. If that was an option for this home, or honestly a lot of the smaller houses, I would buy quite a few upgrades. If it gets me more furnishing slots, I am willing to pay real money for it.

that's pretty doubtful to happen

Yeah. Seems that builders have moved onto other games from the replies in the forums.

Heartbreaking for me, but I'll respect what the majority of ESO's current player base wants. The forums have spoken.

There was always some trace of hope in the amount of other players that also wanted to build with >700 slots. Nowhere to be found now.

I also hoped that we could at least purchase upgrades to home slots. The option to pay to expand any home to 700 slots. Antiquarian, Forgemaster Falls, etc. Now Seabloom Villa was added to that list of "would build here, if we at least had 700 slots"

With that hope gone, it's time for me to face reality and play Enshrouded.

Theres still plenty who want 700+ slots. Just not in such a small home as seabloom.

These days I build far more often than decorate, I personally find smaller houses just as fun to build in.

I have already built a castle, actually I reskinned an existing house, it was a 700 slot house but the actual skin(inside and out) took suprisingly few slots.

A lot of the castle type structural furnishings are pretty large and actually fit together quite well.

I have decided to build at Seabloom, not sure what yet but I think 400 slots given the size of the area, will be fine. 🙂

I still can't figure out why Zenimax just doesn't design all houses to have a cell fit for 700 slots no matter the actual size of the building(s)/courtyard type areas of the house. Seems it would be a simple solution to the constant complaints about the furnishing limits and house sizes.

I'm not a builder and I'm over the moon that we finally got a house that is decently small for given item limit to go nuts with decorating without having to reskin. And it is my favourite style (Alinor) as well!! Couldn't be happier with this home.

I do wish ZOS release more small/medium homes going forward.

the players who paid boatloads more (especially cash money for crowns) for their 700 slot notable homes would spontaneously combust in anger after their purchases were suddenly serverely devalued.

I mean, would they? I feel like people who willingly pay for a big home aren't necessarily doing so because of the slots, but because they like the designs/layouts (or even unique features like the house with the Mara shrine) of them.... and these players who buy these huge homes still very much are some of the ones that complain about the furnishing limits, that houses are too big or too small, etc.
Maybe it's just me, but I think people would simply be happier to have more options that they could make work for them. But I guess all the housing fanatics I know could just be in a minority though and the majority are really just that nonsensical and petty.

But even the pricing.... are we paying for slots or are we paying for the big courtyards and mansions that were designed? Either way, I'm sure pricing could all be figured out and adjusted going forward (aka with new homes, going back to make old homes work like this would obviously be problematic and probably impossible anyway).

I've paid for plenty of 700 slot homes.
I'd pay to upgrade my other homes to 700 slots. This option would make me happy.

Some of my favorite aesthetics belong to homes that are not 700 slots. It would be perfect if I could pay to upgrade their item limit.

Re the number of slots, I can see how with eg tavern rooms the engine might go crazy or something, but I plain don't understand why many medium homes don't have 700.

My favorite thing is when they finally release a new gold home, it screams "notable home" in size and appearance, and yet they still only make it a classic one *cough cough* Merryvine Estate *cough cough*. Like gee~ I wonder why they do that (the answer, most likely very obviously, is always misplaced greed).

I don't think anyone at all buys a notable *because* it has 700 slots. They want the home. I don't think anyone would be scandalised by lower tier houses matching the slot limit. But I can see why people won't buy a medium because they *don't* have 700 slots.

I'm someone who only buys 700 slot homes (don't like being limited on not only traditional, but the other types of furnishings). BUT I barely ever actually buy the 700 slot crown store homes because I usually don't like them (too big, overcomplicated designs that just look messy).... so realistically, ESO would get more money out of me (not only from me buying crown exclusive houses, but also crown only furnishings and keeping my sub active for longer/more consistently since I'll have more to do) by making every home 700 slots.
Most players I know are in this boat with me.

Same boat. A lot of the 700 slot homes are not my style. A lot of the 600 slot homes are my style, but I don't buy them because they aren't max item limit or it eats away at item limit to cover up the existing buildings.

Wish we could remove the existing buildings from Willowpond Haven.

Mine is almost complete and it looks full

I have it fully furnished and am only at 250 item slots, I have 150 slots left and nothing to use them for.

I don't have ESO plus at the moment but I too fully decorated mine with just 181 item slots and it looks really cozy. I'm very happy with it.

Like you said... you decorated.

Decorating and building from scratch are different housing experiences.

Mine has the main house blocked off, a full garden, and a custom built house, with 400 slots. It can be done.
