Housing in Aetolia can currently only be purchased with credits. What follows
are instructions on how to go about buying a house, and what is available to
buy.
Essentially, you buy a basic house, which is 1 room and a door w/lock and key,
and then add on from there. You can buy additional rooms, as well as various
features for each room. Further, if you wish, you may buy something now, and
add onto it later.
Planning Your House
-------------------
The first thing to consider is probably whether you want your house inside a
city or outside a city. For these purposes, a city is a city with a player-run
government. Because construction costs are considerably higher outside of a
city, buying a house in the wilderness will cost you double the normal price.
You may, however, place a house in a non-player village (Delos, Shastaan, etc)
for 50% extra instead of double. If you wish to place your house in a city, it
must be in an area whose description or location makes it suitable for your
type of house.
In terms of what your house looks like, that is essentially up to you, but it
must be, at best, minorly magical. No floating castles, no towers of fire,
etc. Those types of things _can_ be done, but they must be arranged privately
with Varian, and will not be cheap.
In order to actually buy a house, you must send an e-mail to:
varian@aetolia.com The mail must include:
- A listing of each room in the house. Each room must have:
* A room title, and room description. Put no carriage returns in the
description, and please spellcheck it first.
- A description, or, preferably, map, of how the rooms connect together.
Possible exits are: n, ne, e, se, s, sw, w, nw, up, down, in, out
