Housing
I really want to buy a house, but I'm exactly clear on how it works. If I spend 85$ on Row Lot Property Deeds (digital)... does that include the house too? and will I have a guarenteed spot to put the house when release if I buy it? Also how will the tax work? is it an ingame currency or can/will the currency be avaible in the online shop?

Thanks

Hi, the $85 row lot is just a deed, so it does not include a house. Also, you might as well buy it in game, because any lot-deed you buy in the add-on store will carry an ingame tax, just like lots purchased in game.
Taxes will be in ingame gold, amounts have not been determined, but will be enough so you have to keep playing, but not enough to make you play 24/7 just to pay tax for the lot.
If possible, I recommend upgrading your pledge to Ancestor ($275) which will give you a tax-free lot-deed, with a house.
You can of course also buy house-deeds in game to place on your lot, although they won't be exactly the same as the ones from pledges, or the add-on store.

Yes, if you buy the row lot deed in the add-on store, it comes with a 2-story Wood & Plaster Row House and no basement. You can buy addition house/basement models if you like, but it is not necessary.

You will also have a guaranteed plot for the live release.

You will also be able to claim a plot for free during the pre-alpha releases.

Taxation has not been tested yet, nor has any information been released on it. But we do know that the add-on store row deeds are taxed - it will be in-game gold.

I might not get a house then, I'm a casual player and can't guarentee I'll have enough to pay the taxes.

Will there be enough lots so that most players can obtain a home if they want one or is it like ArcheAge where the real estate moguls will control the housing market?
momodig 2015 年 2 月 19 日 上午 9:58 
there is finite amount of space... I just can't justify paying 275$

Devs have stated there will at the very least be enough lots to cover all the pledges and add-on store lots sol without resorting to having to place in player run towns plus 30-50% more housing capacity and apart from a few of the higher pledge tiers and some early kickstarter tiers none have fully sold out yet. Its hard to know the exact amount that will be available at this time.

Later game episodes (expansions) will also bring more housing spaces.

Players will be able to add friends to their housing permissions and guilds may have communal housing as they see fit.

There will also be mechanics in the game for players to split up sections of their housing and rent those sections out so some players may run inns/hotels/hostels for other players.

There will be chance to get on the housing ladder early on if you farm sufficient gold in-game but eventually housing will become harder and harder to find and rental will become the only path for some.

Bear in mind that there are public crafting stations, banks and marketplace vendors all of which can be used by players with no housing. Also the housing available to start with will probably allow for a higher % of players to be housed than when UO started.

The smallest housing size - row housing - makes good use of its space and those houses can be 4 storys high and have 5 storys of basement meaning players will be able to share even on the smallest lots without constantly tripping over each other.

How much rents will be is anyones guess at the moment. I would expect players would be able to afford the rent on row and village lots with anything bigger requiring either a lot of effort to farm the gold for or requiring more than one person to work on the upkeep. To be honest though I really don't know.

Ok thank you very much for your comprehensive answer, FattyMooMooMan. Housing is always a big seller with me when deciding on an MMO and I'm looking forward to it now even more! I also want to be in a player village or maybe even a guild town.

I'm really hyped now! I was holding off on playing until release date but might actually start playing so I can network and find a good guild to join with once SotA goes live.

:)

If you message me your character name through steam when R15 starts (end of next week) I can add you to my friends list in game. I only have my pledge lot so you will have to find and place a row lot yourself to try housing out (Ardoris has the most row lots at the moment - R15 will open up the main map so who knows then). I can however let you have a house and basement to try on a row lot for the duration of the next update (will revert back to me on the following wipe) which should save you farming some gold.

The row lots come with a default house but I can provide you with a 3 or 4 story stone one depending on what I have left over (I have someone who already has dibs on the 4 story one if he needs it).

Thank you for the generous offer but there's no reason to put yourself out on my behalf :)

Fatty I havne't explored much myself. I know we start on the one round island. There seems to be some NPC towns and some player towns. Is there more housing somewhere that I"m missing?

Just out of curiosity, what happens if you don't have enough gold to pay taxes?
Koldar 2015 年 2 月 20 日 上午 10:25 
If you don't have enough gold to pay the taxes, your plot deed, your house (and all of the items contained therein) are all placed safely in your bank account. The lot your house was sitting on will become available to be claimed.

Once you want to claim another plot, you will still have your deed and house to do so.

Keep in mind, the rent system is not in-game yet. Currently, after 7 days of inactivity your deed expires. This will change to the rent system in a future release.

Are there other places other then shown on the map that houses can be place? I only see a few cities and such on the round map. Is there travel to other lands for player or something?
Koldar 2015 年 2 月 20 日 上午 10:44 
Yes, numerous cities were added for this release due to housing demand. There is also a pretty large city, Ardoris, that is not shown on the map.

Next release, they plan on adding more cities to the map as well. Many of these are just place-holder cities until the mainland opens up and we have access to the towns/cities there.

When you first arrive at another city, there is a town crier who will tell you how many plots are currently available in that city. If you hold down the "p" key while you run through the town, it will cast a beam of light from any plot that is available.
momodig 2015 年 2 月 20 日 上午 11:29 
How does one get to these cities that are not shown on the map?
