Reading the patch notes, it looks like Music Boxes are ONLY found in the crown store? Really ZoS, what gives?

    They just need to milk the last cash out of their cash cow before it dies. Easy logic.

    Regardless it will be nice to have some music in your home. I cant see them being too expensive either. I usually refrain from any crown purchases unless its a skin (which hasn't happened in a while), or something unique. I think music boxes categorize as that IMO. JS...

    The Place by Tony Walsh Please Read
    This is the place in the North West of England

    It’s ace, it’s the best and the songs that we sing

    From the stands, from our bands set the whole planet shaking

    Our inventions are legends! There’s nowt we can’t make and



    So we make brilliant music. We make brilliant bands

    We make goals that make souls leap from seats in the stands

    And we make things from steel and we make things from cotton

    And we make people laugh, take the mick summat rotten



    And we make you at home and we make you feel welcome

    And we make summat happen, we can’t seem to help it

    And if you’re looking for history then yes, we’ve a wealth

    But the Manchester way is to make it yourself



    And make us a record, a new number one

    And make us a brew while you’re up, love. Go on!

    And make us feel proud that you’re winning the league

    And make us sing louder and make us believe it



    that this is the place that has helped shape the world

    And that this the place where a Manchester girl

    Name of Emmeline Pankhurst from the streets of Moss Side

    Led a Suffragette City with sisterhood pride



    And this is the place with appliance of science

    We’re on it, atomic, we strut with defiance

    In the face of a challenge we always stand tall

    Mancunians in union delivered it all



    Such as housing and libraries, and health, education

    And unions and co-ops, the first railway station

    So we’re sorry! Bear with us! We invented commuters!

    But we hope you forgive us – we invented computers!



    And this is the place Henry Royce strolled with Rolls

    And we’ve rocked and we’ve rolled with our own Northern Soul

    And so this is the place to do business, then dance

    Where go-getters and goal setters know they’ve a chance



    And this is the place where we first played as kids

    And me Mam lived and died here, she loved it she did

    And this is the place where our folks came to work

    Where they struggled in puddles, they hurt in the dirt



    And they built us a city. They built us these towns

    And they coughed on the cobbles to the deafening sound

    Of the steaming machines and the screaming of slaves

    They were scheming for greatness, they dreamed to their graves



    And they left us a spirit, they left us a vibe

    The Mancunian Way to survive and to thrive

    And to work and to build, to connect and create and

    Greater Manchester’s greatness is keeping it great



    And so this is the place now we’ve kids of our own

    Some are born here, some drawn here but we all call it home

    And they’ve covered the cobbles, but they’ll never defeat

    All the dreamers and schemers who still teem through these streets



    Because this is a place that has been through some hard times

    Oppressions, recessions, depressions and dark times

    But we keep fighting back with Greater Manchester spirit

    Northern grit, northern wit in Greater Manchester’s lyrics



    And there’s hard times again in these streets of our city

    But we won’t take defeat and we don’t want your pity

    Because this a place where we stand strong together

    With a smile on our face, Mancunians Forever



    And we’ve got this* as the place where a team with a dream (*Forever Manchester)

    Can get funding and something to help with their scheme

    Because this is the place that understands your grand plans

    We don’t do No Can Do, we just stress Yes We Can!



    Forever Manchester’s a charity for people round ‘ere

    You can fundraise, donate. You can be a volunteer

    You can live local, give local. We can honestly say

    We do charity differently, that Mancunian Way



    And we fund local kids, and we fund local teams

    We support local dreamers to work for their dreams

    We support local groups and the great work they do

    So can you …help us help… local people like you?



    Because this is the place in our hearts, in our homes

    Because this is the place that’s a part of our bones

    ‘Cos Greater Manchester gives us such strength from the fact

    That this is the place. We should give something back.

    Always remember. Never forget. Forever Manchester.

    I believe they're just items you can place and turn on/off which play a set ESO song. Whether that be bards music or ambient tracks I don't know.

    It sure would be nice if you could buy them with master writ vouchers, but I am not surprised that they are crown store only.

    Agreed. There are far too few things to buy with vouchers these days that actually matter.

    All this stuff going behind paywalls instead of being earnable in game (or both)... it's getting super old.

    I was hoping they would be obtained from a quest and you could do other quests around the whole of Tamriel and beyond to obtain the music for those zones, then select which music you want to play in your home.

    If going to be crown store only I won't bother, skins in the crown store would have been a better option.

    I was fully expecting these to be CS only. Lots of players requested bards or some way to have music in their homes, so of course, ZOS saw it as an opportunity to make money.

    It's possible that we'll get some special ones once in a while - like maybe as a rare item in the festival boxes or perhaps earnable from an in-game quest or achievement. However, I'm guessing that the majority will just be CS exclusives - probably even Limited Time. Since they'll more than likely only have one song in them, they'll need to rotate them in the CS.

    This is all conjecture, of course, but one thing seems clear from the Patch Notes - the majority will be CS only.

    Pretty much anything new we request for housing is subject to being CS only to generate more revenue. Improvements to the interface or new additions to the editor will be free, but if we want NPCs, wayshrines, writ boards, etc., they will most likely be CS only purchases.

    Could we have a mastercraft or writ voucher version too?

    Trying out this current music box on the PTS and it is kind of gloomy music to me. I would personally not purchase this particular music box song.
