    No, because it's not gorgeous at all. Hell, there isn't even any Kotu Gava netting around the windows or doors, and I certainly don't want those bloodsuckers feasting on my big toe.

    Also, the price. I can buy a new car for that price. A real one. That works. And has storage I can use.

    A new car that is probably less than $100? NEW?

    I see a lot of posts here commenting on the crown price of Grand Topal as if it's been revealed. I can't find that reveal on the News page, on Twitter, in the Crown Store forum, in the ESO Reddit, or in this thread. Does anyone have a link to an official statement on the cost?

    Probably not; I don't even use most of the houses I already have.

    I was half tempted in case they ever add the functionality I want to housing in the future, but that's too much of a gamble for my liking. It's a shame they made it limited time only, these limited time gimmicks don't make me more likely to buy things.

    Happy All the Holidays To You and Yours!

    Because I didn't buy an elder scrolls game to play "Medieval Sims".

    It's insane to me how much money people are willing to spend for something like this... literally 0 functionality.

    Because different people enjoy different things? I don't think it's too amazing for people to enjoy different things. But that is your opinion, and this is mine.

    If we want to get down to things really having functionality the majority of the crown store has no functionality.

    And I consider houses to have functionality if for nothing else than the target dummy on console.

    Didn't zos say that there would be new houses with Morrowind as well? Might want to check those out to.

    It's priced high? They released the cost of the home?

    It's like 160usd. Lol
    @ComboBreaker88 where did you see the price posted for it? How many crowns is it? I didn't think that was being released anywhere until it was available for purchase...

    I don't like the layout of the houses itself. and I already own Hounding's palatial hall that was FAR cheaper, actualy has a house that looks and decorates like a house, all the while being a nice sprawling beach property that works wonderfully as a vacation home.

    and not really a fan of volcanoes so close to home anyways. (pompei anyone?)

    No because I don't want to spend real money on something which offers no real benefit - no storage in houses which is staggering, no rest bonus by sleeping in house, I don't like the interiors of any of the houses, dark and claustrophobic because there are no windows to see to the outside. Hence I bought a Sleek Creek house and will live on the large balcony and paddle in the river that runs through my garden :smile: It's probably ok for a guild though.

    You keep purses and shoes in your closet that you never use or wear. I would never take advice from you.

    Based on the limited sales time, it's a pretty safe bet that ZOS will price it at least the same as, but likely more than, Earthtear Cavern. That's close enough for many people to make a decision.

    You keep purses and shoes in your closet that you never use or wear. I would never take advice from you.

    Um... Okay? That's entirely up to you. I also don't believe that I tried giving you any advice to begin with. But, maybe I have somewhere before. Who knows?

    Oh, and for the record? It's not as uncommon as you think to keep things such as: Clothing, jewelry, etc. in a collected state. Essentially never being worn and or used. It's a huge thing actually collecting sneakers, and even coined the term: "Sneaker Head" from it. Google it. Some people spend thousands on sneakers that they never plan on wearing ever. That's just their preference and how they feel like balling out.

    I wonder how you'd feel about the people who spend millions upon millions of dollars on homes, but never actually stay there at them. But, buy them for a status symbol and for collection reasons. Some of them don't even have intentions on flipping the houses. They just buy them for bragging rights within their circle. I'd love to see your reaction overhearing those people's conversations. Or the people who buy supercar after supercar, just to throw in 1 of their garages and leave them there abandoned. Even though they pay thousands a month to have the cars serviced, and kept in pristine condition. Lol. Again with no intentions of ever selling, and or flipping.

    Well, since you said you'd love to see my reaction... people who hoard up material goods, houses, shoes, purses, modes of transportation... while thousands, millions, go hungry, lack medical care, housing, clothing, education? They sit in their private property while we toil in the fields and suffer. What is to be done? What is my reaction?

    Let us take your shoes from you and re-distribute them to those without shoes. Let us rip these unused homes from the greedy palms and give them to those with no roof. Let us take the food that spoils in the pantry of the store and instead use it to fill the belly of the children.

    Let me stop myself before I tear up any further. I'm becoming sentimental, you see... let me say no more. Let it be the silent stirring in the heart of every worker that speaks for me.

    ....after cancelling my subscription, I refuse to spend another penny on this game UNTIL I see what changes will be made due to player feedback over the current ridiculous changes that are planned for the game.

    If ZoS LISTEN to their community and make changes to keep the game fun and exciting, I'll resubscribe and continue to throw money at the game (And ZoS know that I am very happy to throw money at this game because I love it).

    But if they pay no attention to anyone just like previous patches were things have been done with no consideration to the paying customer, then I will know that our custom and appreciation for the game isn't valued and I'll find something else to play.

    ON the other hand, if they do. I'll buy every house released in the EP, because that's how roll. x
