What housing has ahead of all other MMOs

Of course, there are also housing systems in other MMOs. Star Wars: The Old Republic, for example, can only offer nine different dwellings and Final Fantasy XVI currently only has four residential areas in which you can buy houses in three different sizes. In New World, on the other hand, you choose a house from one of the four sizes in each settlement, but before buying you must first farm area reputation in order to be able to buy property at all. In addition, with bad luck, you pay heavy rent to the ruling company. And with Ultima Online you can choose between twenty different house types, but you have to find a free building site in the game world. However, if you don’t log in for a while, your house will fall into disrepair – and with it everything that is in the house!

Thus, although the competitors also have housing systems on offer, they are nowhere near as comfortable as in ESO or offer so many different ways of buying your own home.

From handicraft to living room

But enough of land prices and sizes. The inner workings of a house are ultimately the most important thing: Without furniture, plants, pictures and other decorations, the many buildings would be nothing but chic backdrops without life.

In Elder Scrolls Online you prevent this with a walk to the various craft banks. With collected materials and according to recipes stolen from opponents, you put together your dream equipment. The choice is almost overwhelming: heaps of spices, carpets, alchemy laboratory equipment, skins stretched in frames, animal carcasses, elegant beds and finely chiselled gold vessels are only a tiny part of the possible items.

The “House of the Quiet Magnifico” still looks pretty empty. With the right furnishings, the barren hut can be turned into a chic palace.

If your own crafting skills are not enough or if you lack the necessary recipes, you can rummage through the players’ guild vendors for the decorative parts you want. Alternatively, you can steal small parts from the chests and pockets of NPCs. In addition, you can afford the Greymoor chapter and, with the newly introduced archeology system, dig up decorative objects in all areas of the game world that match the culture of the region.

Of course, you can also buy decorations in the crown shop for premium currency. But if you meet the daily challenges, you can use the coins you acquire with them to purchase items from premium packages without having to pick up real money. Practically!
