    "How does storage inside homes work? Do small homes allow as much hoarding as large homes? Will players be incentivized to own lots of homes for storage purposes?"

    There are caps on the number of furnishings and players allowed in your home – those caps are determined by the size of the home. An apartment can hold much fewer items/players compared to a manor.



    ^ Lame.. You should be able to live in the house of your choice with equal storage to all the rest. Mine as well make the Bear mount be able to hold the most additional inventory and the Guar mount hardly any.

    We felt that it was important to provide players with options for how they acquire their homes, whether they want to spend in-game currency or buy them using Crowns. Almost all of the homes can be bought with either currency, with only a few exceptions that are available only via Crowns.
    The crown store exclusive island is huge, and looks amazing, but it is classified as Manor house size, so it has the same player and item caps as the other Manors you can purchase with gold. The short of it is that Crown Store exclusive homes work in a very similar way to how the Crown Store already functions with Limited Time Offers on special cosmetic items. As with all Crown Store activity, we abide strictly by our “do no harm” mantra, and we don’t ever want there to be a “pay-to-win” scenario in Elder Scrolls Online.

    Ugh. I hate how players who earn in-game currency are second-class citizens to players who buy with Crowns. All houses should have an in-game acquisition path.

    Why do you try to make a big deal of something that is not? People that want to support the game in other ways than subscription needs to have the proper incentives.

    It may not be a big deal to you, but it is to me and many others. People that want to push back on content monetization because ZOS will take it as far as they can. Eventually, the community will have to draw the line.

    My expectation for an MMO is that the best and most exclusive items come from in-game accomplishments. The Crown store should be about convenience, not exclusivity. It should provide an option for players to obtain certain items, but it should not be the only way to obtain highly exclusive items.

    OP. I think you're confusing 'storage' with item capacity. We already know that housing will not have storage thus far.

    It will have limits on how many 'decorative' items you can add to your home. Subscribers get x2 of that.

    *I think they might also be obscuring the fact that most typical furniture (beds, chairs, etc) are probably not intractable. They haven't confirmed or denied, from what I've read. They do this by talking about TWO intractable furnishings: lights and crafting tables, making it seem like all will be intractable.

    This is 2016 and those expectations are gone. You can simply revolt, not buy crown store items but others will. Step off your soap box, please.

    I would think those wanting to support the game would want to do so because they really enjoy the game. But I guess that is not the proper incentive.

    Double furniture/clutter slots for ESO+ members!

    That will certainly be nice for those of us who have subbed.
