The brand new and limited edition island home is going to be available for purchase tomorrow, and I'm curious who's going to buy it or not. It's looks like it's going to be the biggest residence (more like resort) yet, and is absolutely gorgeous. Please let me know, and your reasoning as to why.
Edit: Here is what it looks like:

✭✭✭✭✭Yes, because...I voted yes, because the last bit of my crowns that I have might as well go to that than get left there not doing anything. Plus, the home looks phenomenal. Easily the best house, once it goes live. I mean, who wouldn't want to live on their own island resort with all types of beautiful things surrounding them?0 -

✭✭✭✭✭Maybe, because...I like it a lot - it's my favorite of all of the housing. Whether I actually buy it depends entirely on how much it costs though. I don't mind spending crowns on things that I actually like a lot, but if it costs more than I'd be comfortable spending on an evening out with friends (a normal night out with friends anyway - I'm not going to use special occasions as my benchmark), then it's more than I'm willing to pay for it.

That's actual game content...It's built into the original idea of the game. i didn't pay anything besides the base game purchase for that. Housing was an after-thought to make money by doing very little work. I never said "Don't spend your money on....". So go right ahead... pay 4 times the cost of the base game to have an in game ESO house party or whatever you wanna do.
Also... you could go into ANY home in the game and claim it's yours. That home and the home you pay real money to obtain... have the same functions. (beside deciding on where to place the same exact decorations that already exist in the npc homes)Edited by jakeedmundson on April 26, 2017 3:21PMCP690

✭✭✭✭✭Yes, because...I'm not paying that much real money for something fake.
Eh... I view it like this: People buy whatever it is that they feel like balling out on. For example, some people spend thousands of dollars on Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic the Gathering cards. Others spend thousands on sneakers that they'll never wear, or other pieces of clothing. My girlfriend for example has $1,200 purse that just sits in the closet in a dust bag. Swears out it'll never be used, but just having it in their ownership makes them happy. For me, it's limited edition cyber fluff items and Jordans. Huge Jordan fanatic, but I never wear them. I prefer to wear Air Maxes and Timbs', but keep my J's in the closet.3 -
uzbachchi✭✭✭No, because...I won a house in a guild raffle or I wouldn't have bought a house at all. I like having a house to play Barbie dream house in but I'm not spending real life money or my hard ground gold on some giant place I don't have enough crafting mats to decorate fully. Autumns-Gate is fine for me, especially since I won it.5

Ch4mpTW✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭✭✭✭Yes, because...I almost forgot that splurging on MMO items is a relatively common thing. Those who played WoW may remember the Reins of the Swift Spectral Tiger days, where they ran for $700 easily. Some mounts even costing higher. And even then, that's relatively minuscule compared to some other MMO fluff item costs.0 -

How do you gift the houses? Sounds like a cool idea! I gonna suggest that as our next guild raffle.
I still only have the broom closet. I use our guild hall often for crafting and training dummy.2 -

That doesn't mean it's rational. Value of your GF purse equals a year supply of food for my Khajiits. Do I have to keep two cats? No, it's my choice - but also their life, as they would die in pain if I didn't rescue them.
I have enough money to spend on stupid things, but I always look at that old, fragile being sitting on my lap first. Sets your priorities right, I must say

It's literally a giant island. Lol. I don't know if you've seen it, or any walkthroughs of it. But it really is incredible. It's so... So... Spacious. Lmao. It gives me the vibe of those Hawaiian resort areas with all those huts, and how everything is laid out. All I'll need upon acquiring this home are staff whom roam about offering coconut beverages, and warm towels.
