TheImperfect✭✭✭✭✭
✭Maybe, because...Probably not honestly but maybe, depends on the crown price. I saved up some crowns to buy Earthtear Cavern or another big home but want to wait until I have enought to buy it furnished but if the island is reasonable priced and I can afford I might get that since it's time limited and then save up again for Earthtear or other afterwards since that's in the general store. I'm guessing I'll not be able to afford it.0 -
Adernath✭✭✭✭✭No, because...1) I am looking forward for a more mage-style house, like a tower in the Summerset Islands
2) It probably costs too much
3) Sitting on an active volcano...
4) At the current state there is no much functionality of houses (ok thats no real argument, it may be added later,
but I won't spend enormous amounts of money for a 'may be')

AndrewQ84✭✭✭Yes, because...Both my girlfriend and I have RP toons that want that house. We are both buying one so as to have our main toons have their own place and another one for a guild housing. No regrets.Sa'hira of the Shadows, DC Nightblade and ruins explorer extraordinaire.

The idea itself needs to be based on it's usefulness to the player, not just the aesthetics, especially so when hard earned gold or globally recognized currencies are used to purchase.
Also, would it kill anyone to add the housing cost in the menu, so we don't have to load so many screens for payment options? Took me quite a long time just to see all of the housing available, in order to determine that not even the free inn rooms are of use >_< But the cave does look phenomenal in comparison to all others so far.
Who knows, maybe with some improvements to business practices, in time I'll come around to getting another year of subscription and possibly purchase the Morrowind DLC, in hopes of getting a Telvanni 'Shroom house.
Problem is, if they were useful then selling them in the crown store would be P2W.
I think the right approach is not make them useful but improve the aesthetics. More NPCs, marriage themed stuff, interactable furniture, guild housing, etc...make them more appealing to the medieval sims player base.0 -

Just make storage trunks purchasable with crowns or gold, problem solved. You can put those trunks in any house, including the free tiny closets."Get off my lawn!"2 -
Aurie✭✭✭✭✭
✭No, because...I won't be buying it simply because it's not a style I particularly like. Too spread out and too basic desert island type deco and furnishings. But hey, that's what it's supposed to be like. Just not for me. Love the setting but not much else.1 -
Wolfenbelle✭✭✭✭✭Yes, because...Yes because I come from Los Angeles and Santa Catalina Island is my favorite place in the world. I can't afford to live there but can indulge my fantasy for island living in ESO.2

✭No, because...Hazethemadman wrote: »Because these prices are from another planet.
I buy vanity items and whatnot in games all the time, but these prices are the most outrageous things I have ever seen in my 12 years of gaming.
Well...the last MMO I played has a white wig that costs ~$1000.
So yeah, I've found the prices pretty reasonable. Not that I own any of the houses but still.
What. Just what? How the *** did they justify that?
Just like with all things in life, money only has value to you based on the amount you have. So just by putting something worthless at a high pricepoint (see diamonds) someone will buy it because that amount of money is negligible to them. I once worked at a 5 star hotel that richard branson booked for the weekend, every floor, and he didn't even show up.1 -
xmaveri✭✭✭No, because...Nope strident springs has everything I need, and an entire island?? It would not only cost me 150$ to purchase but another$300 to furnish if not 100 days of playtime to farm materials and motifs to do it the old fashion way. Also saving up for a merchant to set next to my banker.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭No, because...It's a solid design, but it's so lifeless. No birds. No little fish schools darting in the flats. I can't even ride my mount on the beach.
I rarely visit the gold-purchased properties I have now more than once a week because they're so artificial. The butterflies pop as soon as they leave the bushes, and I'm pretty sure my pet starfish is dead.signing off2 -

Wreuntzylla✭✭✭✭✭
✭✭Love the Stro M'kai house I bought more than any other. So, I am waiting for house expansions. I want to pull up a full sized, furnishable ship to the dock and add a pirate cove with the entrance on the beach. Pay some money to increase max furnishings.
It just makes more sense to me to build in a modular fashion so that you get what you want, not some of what you want and some you don't. I am sure ZoS will wake up to the fact that allowing people to design their own abode piecemeal will be a bigger money maker.0 -
