    Just for the sake of watching all the non subs rage on the forums like they did with crafting bags.

    My honest opinion is that it they should be available to everyone but they could give subs access to specific things or discounts.

    If either of the two make as many people go ballistic as the Crafting Bags did, then yes whichever one(s) do should be ESO+ only perks.

    Personally believe housing will be DLC so subs and crowns only... Barbershop will probably be open to all, maybe with some new custom crown only styles?

    Housing should be part of a DLC with certain perks for ESO + members. After all housing will be more then just housing. Since a house is boring by itself. I've seen housing used in various manners including giving bonuses.

    Barbershop should be crown store paying crowns per change to change appearance. A discount should be offered to ESO+ members. Maybe 10% discount. This service should not be an I game gold purchase.

    I am hoping that both barbershop and housing will be a DLC, so subs will get it free anyway. While I believe there should be more done to reward subs (what happened to loyalty reward items anyway?) it wouldn't be reasonable to hide desirable content like these beyond a subscription wall.

    I'm an ESO+ member, and I think making it ESO+ only would be absurd. Housing is such a fundamental part of Elder Scrolls games, so everyone should be able to engage with it, I think it should've been in the game at launch anyway. Besides, ESO+ is getting more and more benefits as time goes on, so I'm happy with ESO+ even without housing and a barber shop.

    If I die tomorrow I do not want to think of the game I could of played today, therefor I will play whatever I want today while securing a future to play in as well.

    I'm an ESO+ member and I think housing and barbershop should be like any other dlc. Subs get it with their subs, others buy it with crowns. Of course highend upgrades to housing can be made with either crown or gold purchases.

    Agree with @starlizard70ub17_ESO about the DLC content. As long as they wrapped housing and the barbershop with some other content like new dungeons, new skill lines, etc. I would hope that a future DLC would not just be housing and a barbershop.

    I would however, with regards to housing, like to see things purchased with in game gold, found off of monsters, achievements, etc. The crown store could sell some optional items and I'm sure that housing junkies like myself would happily support this with my money.

    Base Game Content. The basic feature should be free, but they can charge for special hair styles, adornments, ect.

    I was going to ask the same thing but thought it was best to ignore it. Some peoples immersion is just too sensitive these days I guess.

    It was a DLC on Skyrim so you KNOW it'll on the very least be a ESO+ thing, or a 5.500 Crowns thing.

    Just a Quick thought, when player housing goes live are we just buying a premade house and decorating the walls or are we able to Do things with it?



    I would Love to build a Dueling Ring in a POH ala RUNESCAPE for some out of Cyradiil action, and it wouldn't Hurt ANY part of the PVE community that destroyed literally all of our hopes on the Justice system :/

    i really hope they don't make housing and barber shop eso plus only housing is just something that is important to Elder scrolls and a nice addition to character customization. While barber shop is something that should be available for in game money with some customization like race chane and maybe some new hairstyle pack from the crown store if they really need to add something to the crown store .

    I've subbed from launch, and I don't think housing should be restricted.
    By all means, have some special features for ESO+ and Crown store, as for Barber Shop, feel the same applies to that.

    On the contrary, there were already 5 houses in the game before Hearthfire was released. Hearthfire was just an expansion upon housing, not the only housing.

    Many games are able to give a "barber shop" for free... making it be an ESO+ perk would be just ridiculous. Let us buy it with crowns or in game money.

    Barber Shop mechanic's in general should be a one time purchase if not free.
    Player Housing should be free also.

    I can envision a game where they sell some things on the Crown store, or within the ESO+ framework. I think it would be a mistake for them to lockout all the b2p folks though, and I'm a subscriber.

    Actually, it wouldn't hurt to set some stuff selling for gold too. Barber shop is a lot like respect scroll - so let it be purchased with crowns or with gold.

    Housing could be unlocked by a crown purchase and ESO+, and modifications/customization done with gold.

    I have a feeling I should have just picked "no" so I better explain.
    I kind of took the question as if it should only be offered one way or the other, I think it should be offered through both payment models (buy or sub), but also should be available (or at least partially available) for in game gold.
