Crown price ranges are realistic or crazy for unfurnished houses?

Too high...

$100 for an unfurnished, static, useless house. LMAO

MAYBE if the manor was completely furnished with extra storage and some gameplay use would it then be worth it.

I imagine we will start seeing (or rather not seeing) some dueling tourneys run by guilds and groups who run their duels in their guild co-bought mansions and arenas. Avoids the frequent jerks buzzing in to be disruptive, gets its own instances, etc.

Seems like a no-brainer to setup "boundary" markers, starting "pads" and the like.

Heck, could even have removable crafted "obstacles" to add in for duels at times if you want to mix up the combats.

"Thursday is Library Lawlessness Night so remember - kill each other quietly so as not to disturb the other patrons."

crafting and target dummies in the vicinity - duh.

A couple of the displayed "decorations" were dueling arenas that looked pretty cool.

10000 crowns is about £40 (5500 = £23.99), which is not too bad all things considered. If you saved all your ESO+ crowns it would take you a little over 6 months to be able to afford 10k. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's sensible, but it's not too high either. I half expected the largest houses to cost closer to £100 so I'm relieved if they cost less than £50.

10,000 crowns is not £40. It costs $88 plus tax in the US to get 10,000 crowns. Which is £70.13 not sure where you got your math from.

@Damianos you are aware that people who aren't in the US usually get prices shown in the crown store in prices in their own country's currency right? So people in the UK don't pay $88 USD and then convert it to GBP at whatever the exchange happens to be at the time... He got his "math" right from the crown store. As I'm not in the UK (and I can't be bothered to make the website think I am) I can't show you the picture from the crown store, but here are the prices according to the support knowledge base (which would indicate that the prices have been updated in the crown store and the knowledge base article hasn't been updated to reflect that, but still illustrates the point).

They are high enough to remove any temptation I might have had to buy a home with Crowns. (Not that I was very tempted by this absurd thing they're calling a housing system.)

So, in that sense, the prices are good for my wallet. Maybe not so much for ZOS's wallet, though.

i am willing to spend 6000 crowns for a Completely Furnished Medium home.
but, 6500 for it to be unfurnished Medium home is simply way to high.

Too high...

Maybe if it contained item storage. At its current price point with the functionality coming it's unrealistic. You'd want to reduce the cost of entry into a home so people would be encouraged to buy more furnishings. No home, no furnishing market.

Sensible should never be used to describe the purchase of pixels, EVER.

The other options just show your bias.

The prices are near exactly what i expected.

I for one am not planning to buy "pixels", i am buying the fun i get from them. Just like the rest of the game, you are paying for the experience and the enjoyment. Renting maybe...

If you wont enjoy it you dont buy it.

What surprises me is that the price differential between small houses and manors is so much greater in gold than in crowns.

If furnished aren't too much more i will be tolerant of the prices. 12k for a furnished manor maybe 13k, ill be okay with.

That doesn't surprise me in the slightest. If someone is interested in a manor, ZOS wants them to look at the price in gold and say "whoa, that's a lot of gold to spend... let me check out how much it is in crowns." ZOS then wants them to look at the price in crowns and say "hmm, that's not cheap, but it's not that much more than it would be to buy one of the smaller homes with crowns, so I guess it's a pretty good deal." It's sales psychology, and it definitely won't work on everyone, but it will work on enough people that it's smart to do the pricing that way.

You can tell that they have had the idea of manors costing a 10k crowns for a while now and the whole payment scheme for size is top down and not the other way around.

In that case, not surprised at all. Stop complaining people, if you dont like it, buy it with gold. Been saying for a while that I expected the furnished manors to be about 15k-25k crowns. Did they mention how much these would be furnished?

10k for an unfurnished manor if anything is lower than I expected. There will be thousands of count/countesses walking around on patch day. I know people that dropped way more than 30k crowns on crown crates.

Stop complaining about people complaining in a place for complaining. If you cant handle that get off the forums.

I think the real question here is whether I can complain about you complaining about someone complaining about people complaining in a place for complaining.

Lower prices than I expected to be honest although I am curious to see the prices on the furnished crown exclusives. People should stop complaining. ESO is so generous and fair compared to all the mobile games I keep getting ripped off in

glitchmaster999

Too high...

Just like to point out that the majority of people saying 'sensible' are saying it is sensible because they already have a large number of crowns so they don't care or they are not planning on buying one and don't care. I think that I would only be happy to spend even close to that much if you could make a house your main hub (such as rawl'kha) meaning you could have a sell/repair vendor that doesn't take a cut, a banker that lets you use guild bank and then add on new things such as targeting skeletons. Or maybe allow people to have more freedom such as setting a room to PVP and things like that.

Generous and Fair, yet everything new that gets added to the crown store has more of a price range on it. Next they'll add Yokudan motif for 18k crowns and it goes for about 1.2-2m in game

Way over priced imo but I'm not surprised. It's unfortunate Zos could not have come up with more creative business model for this game.

ldzlcs065

I think it's expected that ZOS offer the homestead system as an incentive for people to do grinding stuff in the next three months, and not set the crown price to encourage many to purchase all they want on day one. Many are complaining that they ZOS force them to do grinding things, which they lack time, instead of purchase them directly from crown. But isn't a healthy game supposed to be like this? I think it's understandable that some people can't or don't want to put too much time in eso. But I also think it's understandable that ZOS want to make sure that people who want to purchase mansion via crown store will not get it painlessly.

I consider buying a medium house with crowns later, so guess it's sensible...

A few small house I can affort with gold, and large houses I can't afford either way.

yeah for me the divide between crowns and gold will almost certainly be at large houses.

medium and below - gold in game.
large and above - crowns

not sure if i will even go large or bigger but if so...

Honestly, the crown pricing just reinforced my current plan to focus on medium and small.

The only if i see a reason for the OMG estate - go big.

MLGProPlayer

If we're being objective, then they are obviously too high. $80 for a virtual house is pretty insane.

However, if people are willing to pay that much money, then that is fair value.

People also need to keep in mind that "sensible" pricing is relative. Ever wonder why they released that elk mount for 4500 crowns last month? They did it so that people would look at these house prices and think they're getting a good deal. Without that (artificial) reference point, more people would think that the houses are overpriced. It's a common marketing tactic.

I say the prices should be double at least. Anyone that "needs" a house should already have the gold to buy it.
But, I wonder what the furnished prices will be then.

He's want to buy the island. Will it be enough?
