Why are certain houses not for sale? They need more crown sales? I don't get it. Maybe a Dev can enlighten me.

    Greetings,

    After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic.

    Thank you for your understanding.

    The ones that can only be bought with crowns are not always available, they are a limited-time offer that rotates ever so often.

    There is one in the crown store now, I think it’s the beach house. I can’t remember what it’s called.

    Marketing. If something is limited time, some people will impulse buy so they don't miss out. FOMO. I have always said I think it'd be better if they had them for sale all the time, as they likely would snap up a lot of buyers who don't have impulse control problems, but I guess they don't see it that way.

    Yep, I've even written folks at ZOS to express this. Completely discarded that feedback, as evidenced by even more FOMO. I guess they don't want our money.

    Not at all. I made a forum account just to ask for Tel Galen - 6 months ago. By the time it actually comes back around, I'll have enough free crowns from my + subscription I'm paying for anyway.

    Tel Galen was on sale not too long ago, but can’t remember when. Probably the Tribunal event.

    If the house can remain in-game, it can remain on sale.

    Fully agree. Other than greedy manipulation, there is no reason for homes to be a limited time thing. They believe if they slap a "you can only get this for a week" onto an item that more people will panic buy it even if they're not sure if they actually want it. And sadly, I have a friend who does just that so they're not wrong. "I don't know if I'm even going to use it, but I better get it now while I can or I might regret it later". She pours a disgusting amount of money into the crown store out of fear something won't be available again anytime soon. I would hate to know how much ZOS makes off of the crown store alone.

    @WraithCaller88 I hope you have enough because it's returning the 7th July
