Buying House With Crowns
Cyrediath
✭✭✭
So, how much does big houses costs in crowns? Especially biggest ones. Manor. Do you think they will be something like 20.000 crowns? Because 3.7 million gold is a lot actually.

✭✭✭✭✭Doubt it. 5k may buy the medium or large house. Expect the major to be a very large expense.4 -

lehran✭✭✭I'd guess the manors will run around 24k, large houses 12k, medium 6k, small 3k, and apartments 1.5k for unfurnished, and furnished prices to be 1.5-2k higher. Judging by how much they price everything else on the store, I doubt it will be remotely cheap to get anything good, much less all of them.0 -

Say that to a 4500 crown elk mount... I imagine the work put into houses is a lot more than the work put into slapping that thing together. At least the dro-m'athra senche had flair to it. I'd love it if I was proven wrong and the prices are half of what I said, but I'm not keeping my hopes up. Plus, things that are available for in-game gold tend to be overpriced on the crown store as well (5000 crown motif books anyone?)Edited by lehran on January 4, 2017 9:12PM10 -

✭✭✭£100 (20k crowns) for an in game house? Are people serious? I could buy 1/3 of a PS4 pro for that ***. I could buy 3 and a half AAA games for that ***, and for £50 more, I could buy a normal PS4 or X1. Outrageous people would be ok with this. And some people wonder why we got lumbered with crown crates.
This is ignoring the fact 5500crs on Xbox cost over £30, so they'd be truly fleeced.Edited by Prof_Bawbag on January 4, 2017 9:14PM12 -
Thybrinena✭✭✭✭They charged 5k for the merchant that doesn't repair so I think they'll definitely charge 20k+ for the Manor houses imo since 3.7million is a very large amount ingame, and whilst 20k+ sounds crazy for many people playing this game, there'll be other people who'll find the money for 20k+ crowns far easier to come by than 3.7million ingame gold, or at least ZoS will bank on it, I'm sure.4

✭✭✭✭✭I suspect 5k on the Manors. I mean, after the Elk, they could just be aiming for the low stratosphere, but I doubt they expect people to spend $240 on virtual real estate.7 -

Aye, but a lot more work went into Orsinium than both the elk and housing combined. So by your reasoning, Orsinium is worth £800.5 -

The DLCs are priced much more reasonably than every cosmetic item in the store. It's possible that they'll use a similar pricing scheme for houses, but I think it is much more likely that they will try to milk people for it given it is also available with in-game gold.Prices are in the patch notes aren't they?

✭✭They could sell the houses cheaper, say 5 - 7k on the manor because they'll make up the money on all the special furnishing they sell to go in the house. The thought is, you have to buy the house to buy the furniture. If you can't buy the house because it costs too much, you won't be spending money on anything that goes inside the house."We have found a cave, but I don't think there are warm fires and friendly faces inside."10 -

Only because threads like this pop up actively encouraging them to fleece people. I think this is one of the worst threads I've ever seen on these forums and this being the ESO forums, which have always been frequented by whales and the likes, that takes some doing.
Yes ZoS, please charge people 30k crowns for something that most of us will spend 2 days doing up until the novelty wears off and we're all back to standing spamming AoE's in Mournhold etc.7 -
Pandorii✭✭✭✭✭
✭Regardless of the price they charge, this is really a direct money to gold transaction. It sucks to be someone who took time to fundraise millions of gold for a manor only for some rich person to get it in an instant. I wish the manors would be only available with gold and they'd milk us with the Island Resort crown exclusive homes. But that would cut the bottom line they so much prioritize.3 -

✭✭✭I think some people forgot who is selling the house.
Manors will be a lot more than 5k crowns. I personally think they will be between 80.00 to 120.00 USD

✭✭✭✭✭We don't know how much they cost yet. At least I think we don't, the PTS hasn't let me in yet but usually all crown store items on there are 1 crown, so we don't know how much they'll actually cost.
I think it's safe to say it's not going to be cheap however. If you want cheap crown prices the best case scenario is actually that they're trying to make the gold prices prohibitively expensive to push people towards the crown store, because then the crown prices might be relatively cheap. But relatively cheap is still likely to be expensive.
Worst case scenario they want housing to be a gold sink, which means they want to discourage people from using crowns (unlikely I know), so they make the crown price so high gold seems like a better ideaProf_Bawbag wrote: »They charged 5k for the merchant that doesn't repair so I think they'll definitely charge 20k+ for the Manor houses imo since 3.7million is a very large amount ingame, and whilst 20k+ sounds crazy for many people playing this game, there'll be other people who'll find the money for 20k+ crowns far easier to come by than 3.7million ingame gold, or at least ZoS will bank on it, I'm sure.

lehran✭✭✭I doubt a forum thread is going to make ZOS re-evaluate their pricing strategy, either upwards or downwards. People bloviating on forums is worthless data compared to actual sales figures showing what moves and at what prices. I just have fun speculating on stuff and making educated guesses, and I'm not exactly an optimist when it comes to pricing decisions on the crown store.
@Pandorii there are many other money-to-gold translations in the crown store already: extra bag/bank slots, motifs, riding lessons, all the terrible consumables (soul gems, repair kits, potions, poisons). None of them are remotely similar in terms of how much it costs in money vs how much it would cost in gold. The extra slots are a good example of this: it is a static 1000 crowns regardless of the current capacity, whereas the gold cost increases as your capacity increases.1 -

I would be disappointed if they were any cheaper than this when you look at other crown store items and the fact that houses can potentially serve a purpose - hold a DPS test dummy for build testing, have set crafting stations in them, etc. Especially considering you can spend 4.5k for a mount, up to 1k for a useless pet, 2.5k for a simple character name change, 1k for a hair style - all of which server no real use.I'd guess the manors will run around 24k, large houses 12k, medium 6k, small 3k, and apartments 1.5k for unfurnished, and furnished prices to be 1.5-2k higher. Judging by how much they price everything else on the store, I doubt it will be remotely cheap to get anything good, much less all of them.
When you look at how much work a player has to put in to get 3.8 million gold, which is about the in game cost of a manor house, it would be an insult to these players if someone with a spare $20 could simply walk in and buy one with crowns.Australian on PS4 NA server.

I'll buy my houses with in-game gold. Being an on and off player I could only afford a small home at the moment but that doesn't bother me.
I'm also not bothered by the option for people to just drop real money to get any home instantly. RMT is ugly but these are wholly instanced spaces and chances are very good that I'll never set foot in a crown store bought home anyway.I wish the manors would be only available with gold and they'd milk us with the Island Resort crown exclusive homes.
I can appreciate that sentiment but going by what we've seen so far, some of the non-exclusive homes are phenomenal and crown store buyers might prefer those. Especially taking character aspects into consideration. If someone's willing to hand over real money for one then I reckon ZO should take it.0 -

I don't see anyone encouraging anything other than an objective discussion about how many crowns they could possibly charge for said homes. If you think this thread/post or any other is going to sway their pricing plan than I'd wager you're mistaken my friend and that ship has already sailed, prices are set.
