Houses
Houses are auctioned in the game, as in the original: open the Cyclopedia and its Houses tab. The highest bid wins and is paid from your bank. Owning a house needs a Premium account; the owner decides who may enter.

Finding a house
In the game, open the Cyclopedia › Houses and pick a town: you see every house with its size, beds, rent and state (free, on auction or rented). The Houses page of the website shows the same houses and the running auctions, read only.
Who can bid
- A character with a vocation, of level 40 or higher, on a Premium account.
- An account that lost a house for unpaid rent cannot bid for 30 days (all its characters).
- Enough gold in the bank for the current highest bid plus the rent.
- Guildhalls: only the guild leader bids, paid from the guild bank.
How an auction works
- Choose a free house in the Cyclopedia and place your bid. The first bid starts the auction, which lasts 7 days.
- Your bid is the most you are willing to pay; when the auction ends the winner pays the price and the house becomes theirs.
Rent
Rent is charged every month from the owner's bank. If the bank cannot pay, warnings arrive and, if the rent stays unpaid, the house is lost: a letter in your inbox says so, and the whole account cannot bid on houses for 30 days. An owner who does not log in for 30 days also loses the house.
Guests, sub-owners and doors
Stand inside your house and say these words; a window opens where you write one character name per line and save.
| Words | What it does | Who |
|---|---|---|
| aleta sio | Edit the guest list: guests may enter the house. | Owner and sub-owners |
| aleta som | Edit the sub-owner list: sub-owners may also invite guests. | Owner |
| aleta grav | Facing a door of the house: edit who may open that door. | Owner and sub-owners |
| alana sio "Name | Throws a player out of the house (alana sio alone throws yourself out). | Owner and sub-owners |
Moving out or passing on a house
- In the Cyclopedia › Houses, open your house and choose Move out. The house is left at the next server save; what you can pick up is sent to your depot inbox.
- From the same window you can offer the house to another character (Transfer).
