Grand Psijic Villa Returning to Crown Store?

AutumnFall93 · January 2021

I’ve been told that this can be the better, and more likely to be seen place, for posting this kind of a request, and I apologise if it has been submitted before.

I’m a rather fairly new player to The Elder Scrolls Online, and have had an absolutely wonderful experience so far. As my first time ever playing a MMORPG I’ve found it fairly nerve wracking at first, but I don’t know if it’s because of Elder Scrolls or not but everyone has been so wonderful and lovely and helpful.

I’ve done some looking into the availability of some of the exclusive Crown Store houses, and saw initially that the Grand Psijic Villa was a free giveaway in 2018, before returning for a limited time to the Crown Store both as furnished and unfurnished options in 2019.

Like I said I’m a newbie so missed the opportunity to get the house then, and I’d like to use this as a humble request just so that the right people can see that it’s something I’d really love to be considered as a return to the Crown Store.

I adore the Summerset Isles and it’s storyline and have been really getting into the game primarily through my role playing of an Altmer Psijic so the return of the Grand Psijic Villa would be wonderful as it would mean I have the perfect home for my character.

I also guess this is just a general addition to the desire to see more of the previously limited time only houses make a return to the Crown Store. I also love the atmosphere and design of the Aldmeri Grotto, so that would be another one I’d love to be maybe considered for a future return?

I understand that this might not be possible, nor will this yield any answers, I just wanted to make sure it was a known thing that there is a strong want to see the house hopefully make a return one day in the future

I’m all for making things people want more available, but I have to tell you that I got the Villa for free and I still have a love/hate relationship with it. Maybe more like ambivalent at this point.

I have never finished it because it is way too big to fill, and I have other notable houses that I have been much happier decorating and they are not full either and they look much better.

I can’t imagine spending crowns for this house and getting this result. Maybe it’s because I chose to do it in Alinor style and that is too limiting. Maybe someone else has a better plan.

The constant weird artificial “daylight” is a problem for me as well. I put lots of those Summerset trees out front but the crappy saturated color HDR on PS4 looks terrible. So much gold wasted.

If you are considering purchasing this house I would strongly recommend visiting other player’s homes first to see what you will be getting.

I just saw! Thank you this is really wonderful I really wasn’t expecting it to come back so soon, this is absolutely amazing I can’t wait to be able to explore it and decorate it.

Really happy that the Hunter’s Glade home will be returning as well, I saw a lot of folks really wish to see that one make a return as well.

I hope in the next few months the other requested homes make a return too, definitely keeping my fingers crossed that the Dwemer aerie home pops up soon as well for those who are hoping for it

Thanks

Glad you're getting a chance at the Villa. Meanwhile all the players begging for Tel Galen are still out of luck. You'd think with the Tribunal Celebration this month that it would return. But instead, we get the Villa and Hunter's Glade?

I really hope that one will return for all those who’d love to see it, hopefully it’ll return like you said for the Celebration of Tribunal, I saw that it was requested a lot by folks who missed it the last time, and that it’s been much much longer since that one has made a return to the store, so hopefully that means it’ll be soon! Possibly alongside the new volcanic looking Crown Store house that’s been shown on here? Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys

Oh, Grand Psijic Villa, my old nemezis. I'm stil so salty about missing it during Summerfall. I don't have any crowns to spare and it's not worth 15k Crowns in my country's bad exchange rate. So gold traiding it is. With the average exchange of 500:1 currently on PC/EU I need about 7,5 million for that. I still need 5 million more, if someone could lend me some I'd be much obliged and I promise to pay you off.

As for Tel Galen, don't worry, the Tribunal event will probably be set at the end of February and beginning of March, so Tel Galen has a chance of showing up in March showcase.

Kinda ticked when I saw it was being released for purchase. Got it free during the Return to Summerset event, and have been laboring to fill it ever since. Now I could've just bought the furnished version??? *faint*

I had given up on getting another chance to buy the Erstwhile Sanctuary, but if they're bringing some of these old houses back, maybe they'll be kind and give our assassins another chance to own a sanctuary of their own. (Please?)

It might be too early to say, but so far this year there has been a return of previously released limited Crown Store houses, so hopefully that’s a trend that continues for the year.

I think as well that the Stone Eagle Aerie should have a priority as it’s getting closer to the Flames of Ambition release and the Blackwood Chapter, and I imagine one or both of the houses for them will also pop up on the Crown Store, either the Ayleid home or the Sheogorath shrine.

My main hope is that with the release of the new houses (hopefully very soon in Stone Eagle’s case) there’s still some of the old houses brought back alongside as well, there’s a trend of spacing them out in the month, so it’s possible there could be a release of a new house followed by a previous one.

I know Tel Galen is a popular one with strong desire to be brought back, and it would be neat if come the end of the year we see a good amount of the old houses brought back, as it really gives a lot of newbies the chance to acquire them, and any other places who for whatever reason missed out when they were previously released.

Good day!

Is it possible to tag the DEVs to return the Grand Psijic Villa this year? I just managed to save enough Crowns to buy it, and yet it has not been released again, sadly.

Tel Galen was just in the crown store maybe 2 months ago.

OP, the Crown-only houses seem to cycle around through the crown store about every 18-24 months. I've been playing for 3+ years now and I've seen every single one of them come by at least once and I own all but 5 of the houses in game. If you are on PC-NA, my Colossal Aldmeri Grotto is currently set as my primary and I have it decorated as a scavenger hunt.
