Thanks! That's all very interesting indeed. Having a place to store neat items found does have appeal. I'm liking this game more and more, I'm starting to see why so many people say it's better than WoW, and I'm starting to agree.

You may want to take a peek at the Norrathian Homeshow forum just down the page a bit. A lot of players have really done some amazing things with their homes. I was originally a bit confused about the housing when I started, but after looking at the pictures of other people's homes - I've really gotten into decorating mine and have a real sense of pride about how my little home is coming together.

It is nice to see the enormous wall of weapons that I've collected through my quests and playing. And my kitchen and gardens are getting better all the time.

Buy your house, set up your market board and never go back in it again.
Then you never have to pay the rent and can keep the benefit of selling out of your house for free.

You'll get more broker slots, sure, but people can't buy from the specialty sales crates (placed as furniture) in your house unless you pay your rent.

Possible Nit Warning: Actually this is not completely correct. If you put the sales crates in a friends home and he pays the rent, they can buy from your crates. So if you just want the many broker slots+vault space and you don't care about the house itself, you can buy the 5-room house and then stop paying the rent. You then place your crates in an alts inn room or a friends house and you can continue to access them and sell from them, but without paying the 5-room rent. So Scotia is quite right on this one. Edit: inserted Nit warning SMILEY

Okay, maybe I'm a little dense here (not too farfetched lol). So say you pay for a 5 slot house and you don't use the slots but add your crates in an alts (say 2 slot inn)? What was the point of buying the 5 slot house then? You are still restricted to the number of slots of the room you place your crates in? Unless you put your crates in the 5 slot house on the broker and then place the crates somewhere else (you can do this?). I thought the other people's market boards are inaccessible from inside their homes?
