Zero.

The housing should be base game so that everyone has it. Then they can sell stuff in the store to decorate and customize.

Yeah lol very unlikely easier to double gouge your base by offering it as DLC then offering short cuts to get the items easier via crown store.

You may not like it but it will let zos profit alot from this.

Under 20 dollars For The Dlc

Around 20 with maybe a discount if you sub. Fifty for only housing would be way to much. Now if it has housing guild housing along with guild tools then 50 may be about right.

It really depends on how well they implemented the system. I'd probably pay up to $50 for a well done player housing DLC but probably not more than $15 for a very basic player house. If they added worth while house upgrades to the crown store, I'd probably buy some of that too.

Now, I don't WANT to pay this much, and I don't think it's the optimum price (you do want more people buying it after all) but I really do want housing.

This is not exactly accurate. The reason that you give away the housing for free is to make a huge market for the decoration and customization. If you sell the housing, that immediately caps the decoration and customization potential. You will never sell customizations to more people than the number who have housing.

Screw Player Housing Dont want to see it in the game

I don't want to live in the game. The neighbors are too loud with their pro-merchant, anti-tax propaganda. There's a bull and betty netch in the backyard doing things I can't quite explain to the kids. Also, the rent is too high. And it's raining, but just in one corner of the living room.

I just killed a bat and I couldn't leave my house, because combat.

Trust me i love your way more as it works well for me but this is zos lol i just dont see that happening.

But at least ither way we would have player housing.:)

Under 30 dollars For The Dlc

I could see dropping $30 for a DLC package that gives me housing options, say 3 houses in the cities/towns of my choice complete with a basic stocking of racial furniture based on the city/town location I choose. Then offering additional furniture options in the Cash Shop as bundles in the same vein as the current motifs. Of course, you also need to be able to buy said furniture in game for those that would rather earn gold and spend it that way to customize their house.

Hmm, you could even turn this into a way to gold sink and help remove the overflow of gold in the game for the furnishing of your home. Buying new homes once you have the DLC unlocked, upgrading/expanding it and so forth.

It's the baiting strategy of marketing.

This could work well by offering the deed through the store, if the property was also available through the game, albeit at a high cost. (-100K?) with minor amenities. In general, I have no issue with game stores that mirror the models access through extended gameplay and keep the pay gate in cosmetics.

EDIT:
I was going to add to that... but I forgot.
I'm an old man that has been up way too long and needs to take his meds.

jeezus I thought *I* like housing... lol... LOTRO costs $0 and that's exactly how much I spent.

But for ESO, sure, I can spend a bit more. But really depends on how much is included...

PS: I'm still in favor of housing comes FREE, but certain unique customization items (like rare objects or blueprints), is crown store only.

jamesharv2005ub17_ESO · May 2015

It would depend on how cool housing is. If it is a design your own house type deal then ya it should be purchased. If its like LOTRO housing it should be free.

That was on all kinds of things in the cartel as well as housing ontop of subbing.

So i know first hand if zos wants money simplu work on player housing.

Fyrakin · May 2015

Well, housing with additional storage for items, workbenches and a wayshrine (at least to a township where the house is) would be worth spending real money. If its just a sole fluff then no, I don't want such housing at all.

Psychobunni · May 2015

Zero, Cero, 0.00

I refuse to pay for what other F2P MMO's have included.

Edit: poll is biased without that option

VictoriaRachel · May 2015

Also $0.

I have to agree with @lordrichter I do not think a set price for a DLC it is the best way to monetise it, from a business stand point. I think it would be the cheapest way for most consumers but that that is not how the cash shop works. While giving the base housing away free does stop the concept of double dipping into the same player pool that is not only going to breed a lot of distrust, but also limited the market, and over all I think earn the company less.

I really want housing. I think it will be a great feature. I am also well aware that they are going to want to earn money of the game but I really believe with housing the best way to do it is with selling "upgrades" to a free base. Not furniture per se but better wall papers, floors, perhaps even extensions to the base home.

agree...

BUT... other MMO might have monthly sub

So for B2P ESOTU, i'm willing to spend a 1-time fee for it, just like for any other DLC...

Jules · May 2015

Realistically I think player housing should be free / for in-game gold. Customizable portions of your home could be on crown store... But for a reasonable price.

Also, REAL CONTENT FIRST PLZ.

Pallmor · May 2015

How much for just a trunk? Just a simple unlimited storage trunk at the bank or someplace. At this point, I would settle for that.

nastuug · May 2015

Under 20 dollars For The Dlc

I would pay for it, just not nearly as much as some others are willing to part with.

NovaMarx · May 2015

Above 50 dollars Plus as much money as i can throw at the game!!!!

I would be willing to pay a sizable amount for player housing. For one simple reason: Me Want.
However, I would like it to be an upgradable home.

I see three ways of implementing homes:

1) The home itself (as an empty shell) shouldn't cost too much, but everything you decide to add should then cost extra (like furniture, crafting stations, etc)
2) The home costs more, and the upgrades are more like a new crafting line, where you have to craft/acquire the desired items for your home.
3) Certain areas cost more/less than others. Buying a home in one of the first zones (Auridon, Stonefalls, Glenumbra) costs less than in the higher level zones. You can therefore decide where to live, and how much money you want to spend on it.

In general, the homes should be as customisable as possible. Either by being able to buy specific items, or by being able to craft them yourself. This way you can for example have a bosmer home, but with a dunmer interior/furnishings.

I personally would like to see a new skill line added for housing, where you can craft the items you want, and choose the style, depending on what motifs you have. And some achievements to go with it

I would gladly pay for this!

KanedaSyndrome · May 2015

Under 30 dollars For The Dlc

I think 30 dollars is a sizable chunk. I could be swayed to pay more, but I doubt they'd price it higher than that, we're in a price range where it's basically the price for a whole new game, so there should be enough profit for it to be a worth while investment at 30 dollars.

I hope they implement it in a way that wouldn't hurt the player population in cities. I don't want a situation where everyone just logs in to their house, then teleport to whereever they need to go, such that cities becomes desolate areas.

Same people who charge 50 dollars for a motif

SeñorCinco · May 2015

It weighs out in my mind as, selling a ( hypothetical round numbers ) $20 product to 10K people as opposed to giving 100K people a $10 product ( roof, doors, floors and a chifrobe ), then receive $20+ paid over multiple small purchases from the larger pool of people that would not be able to forego the whole thing at once, as it's paid on their terms.
