Why we cant buy houses with game gold? (solved)

ahrimar · February 2020

This game becames P2P and this makes me worry for the future of the game. İ wanne buy houses, because this is a way of free TP (easy gaming), also people will buy houses and i can sell more furniture. GM's pls think this again.

I bught my house with in-game gold.

Bombo · February 2020

*bought

RD065 · February 2020

You don't have to buy it so not sure it's P2P. Plus there's some big houses you can get for free.

You can buy houses with in-game gold.

Because I have better places to spend my gold? Like acquiring actual gear etc?

ahrimar · February 2020

nope , only crown

Bombo · February 2020

Not true. There are some crown store exclusive houses, but there are also tons of houses you can buy with gold.

/facepalm

zaria · February 2020

All of the original houses can be bought for gold.
Some of the newer huge houses can only be bought with crowns.
However you got the huge house in Elsweyr just by doing quests.

In fact I think the in-game houses you can buy for gold are generally the best deal as you actually have a decent chance to get them looking complete with the insufficient item limits. The huge Crown only houses can never be fully furnished in the 700 items you are restricted too so you are more or less stuck to blocking parts off or using minimal furnishings in each room.

LOL check again, you’ll see there are actually heaps of houses available for in game gold, after you do that, come back, apologise for not checking for sure before you made this post. Then we all go on with our lives.

I bought both the coldharbor estate and lake amaya house for gold, so I'm not sure what you're going on about.

The_Conjurer · February 2020

pay to play? i own all simple homes i got them all with in game currency. the crown store exclusive homes would cost so much in game coin that it wouldnt matter. if you want to discuss pay to play, then i would love to be able to buy transmutation crystals but i cant.

RedTalon · February 2020

Bought two of my houses with gold, cause needed a storage house near a bank and a free port spot in another area.. Soo can buy all the original houses with gold.

darthgummibear_ESO · February 2020

You can buy a lot of houses with gold. Even some of the houses listed on the store you can buy with gold(not the super expensive limited time ones, obviously).

Almost all houses outside of manors are available for gold.

bearbelly · February 2020

You... are wrong.

menathradiel · February 2020

To buy the house with gold you must first travel to it.

Some houses can be bought only for Crowns (DLC ones). But most houses can be bought for gold (If you chose unfurnished version). Sometimes the UI simply does not refresh and shows only one option when you are previewing the house and hit F5 to open "buy" options.

ShawnLaRock · February 2020

Plus - a few of the houses you can buy with in-game gold come furnished with rare items that you can sell for much more than the actual price of the house.

i think there is a problem in my game. U all says u can buy with gold. there is no gold option in crown store. i will again check this. may be gold option is in the home at the f5 menu. cant log in now.

menathradiel · February 2020

You cannot buy with gold from the crown store, you must travel to the house first.

Ilithyania · February 2020

tons of houses you can buy with ingame gold, just need some achievements to unlock them.

Tigerseye · February 2020

You can buy most of them with game gold:

phileunderx2 · February 2020

All of my homes have been bought with gold or were a free in game reward.

angelncelestine · February 2020

In the crown store it only gives you the crown price. You need to port to the house itself to see the gold price. I can see where this could be confusing for a new player. There are plenty of homes available that you can buy for gold. You can also get free inn rooms. Just port to your starter location for your faction, and you will come across a little house quest. You can also do this for the different chapters.

Tigerseye · February 2020

Snow Globe probably wouldn't.

It's only medium sized, with a Large sized furnishing limit.

Even if you take into consideration that furnishing limit and the novelty of the Snow Globe, I doubt it would cost more than, say, Hunding's.

Which is a far bigger house, but with the same furnishing limit.

...and in terms of Crowns, the Snow Globe costs the same as Velothi Reverie.

Which is a Medium home, with a Medium furnishing limit.

So, I imagine it could be anywhere from 323K to 1.3million, depending on what they based its gold price on.

Physical size and Crown price; or furnishing slots and novelty value.

Kendaric · February 2020

Some houses are crown only, however the majority can be bought with gold (although it's expensive). And several houses are gotten for free, i.g. the inn rooms.

You need to travel to the house in question and press F5 to see whether it can be bought with gold.

I dont think he means pay to play I think he means pay to win. Pay to Play MMOs are almost always of higher quality, and I also spend less on them than others.
