Where should we be based?

Admittedly getting a Kinship Hall is a way off for The Neránians but Argothir mentioned that if you have buildings in the same locale then you get repair benefits and the like so it makes sense that if we are to set up a major base of operations (and therefore any subsequent housing / deluxe housing) that we consider where we should "set-up shop" so to speak..
Take into consideration that while The Neránians may have been founded in Bree, they can be found all over Eriador and even Lothlórien in Rhovanion, so any of the four homesteads is equally viable.

What are everyone's thoughts on the matter?

The options are:

Bree-land


The Shire


Falathlorn


Thorin's Hall

Could take a vote i guess.....?


But i think as Argo has already bought a dorf home maybe we should try and get places in the same instance? i know i will be anyway but thats cuz i'm nosey and like to see how his decorating is coming along

Also on the same note i've had a peek round the same instance and there are a few available houses for us lot too...

I'm quite happy to go with any of them, this game is so new to me that I love 'em all!

I've been meaning to ask, can one SELL a house and buy one in another area? (in-case people already have homes in different areas and want to all move into the same neighbourhood?)

The other option is we all have our own homes wherever we want and just the Deluxe Home (Tavern?) and the Kinship Hall in the same place..

you can't sell a house once bought, but u can abandon it and then go and buy another so u'll loose however much u paid for it but u normally get back 100s for pre paid weekly upkeep.

As for the delux house, it's actually the largest home 1 person can buy and not like a kin house where everyone in the kin will get travel ports to, so unless ur prepared to buy a huge house and leave it open for use by all kin members (chests, decor etc) then there is really no point in buying one. The kin house only takes Rank 7 for the kin and that's done in 3 months so wont be as long as u think really and it'll give ppl the chance to make some gold to buy it and then buy all the housing chests for it too!

Aye yeah I voted Dwarf too, and not because I'm currently living there. I'm quite willing to abandon my house and get a deluxe one when I get the cash. Nah the reason I voted Dwarf is because both the Bree and the Michel Delving Homesteads are pretty much full now. There doesn't seem to be hardly any deluxe houses at all left in either homestead, and maybe once we're all settled we may all want a deluxe one? Personally I want one because then I can hold more things in it. With Deluxes you get the opportunity to have 2 chests instead of the Basic houses one. I'm quite happy to go with Falathlorn though as there is a few deluxe houses left there. I honestly think the key to buying homes is to find the homestead with the most houses available. Assuming that we all want to live in the same instance of course. Alternatively we could wait until some more homesteads are created and we take the pick of the bunch. Just a thought.

I say Falathlorn, that place looks gorgeous. Don't know about the availability or anything.

Aye they are gorgeous, and the Deluxe houses seem much bigger too. The basic ones aren't too great though. For some reason the Kin Houses 'feel' smaller too but maybe thats just me?

This is how I rate the best of them:

Kin Houses: Bree and Thorins
Deluxe Houses: Falathlorn
Basic Houses: Thorins and Bree

I could go around and take a look at where the most houses are and leave a reply on here if you like?

I was looking for a house yesterday and saw a Instance in the Bree Homestead that was quite empty I think it had something like 10 basic house for sale and loads of the other two. I'll check for the name and left you guys know.

That'd be cool. If I can find a nice deluxe house there I may well move when I have the cash.

there's two

Restoke had 9 Basic 6 Deluxe and 4 Kinship

Cladcot had 8 Basic 4 Deluxe and 4 Kinship

Restoke, Bree it is then.

Hopefully there will still be a load left by the time it comes to getting our kin house.

I think new neighborhoods are always opening, so there shouldn't be a problem when we decide on big kin moving-in. If there wouldn't be any relatively empty, all it takes to do is wait, and eventually in some time unhabited one would appear

Falathlorn Homesteads

Can I change my vote to Bree?

I still really like that huge kick-ass Dwarf mansion Argothir and I saw... (The one with the bridge over the chasm leading to it, Argo?)

But am really happy to go with any so long as everyone is happy with it!

Seems like a pretty tied score for Bree,Thorin's and Falathorn so far. I voted for Bree-homesteads by the way. They are located at most lively location of Bree-land and I like simple architecture of buildings there.

Well I'm glad to see that no one voted Shire Homesteads. They're a bit yuck.

awwww poor hobittses.

I don't know why, but I haven't actually voted yet. Indecisive.... I think.

I'm no expert but after reading these comments and taking into consideration the history of the Neránians, I vote for Bree.
