House prices
I've stumbled across this this page: http://www.andrea.net/uo/general/screen ... en06.shtml
It's dated Fall 1999 and shows buy window with house placement deeds. However, prices are slightly different than prices on UOSA, have a look (40015gp compared to 43800gp).

Re: House prices
I also seem to remember that some of the small house types were cheaper than others.
Re: House prices
I don't ever remember seeing houses that cheap, but the picture is what it is.
Was there a date on that site?

Re: House prices
I thought the house prices, like all other items, fluctuated with demand & inventory.

Wow, this was so old that the walls of the wood and plaster were clean white.

Re: House prices
I also remember house prices fluctuating. When I would buy a house, I'd run around to all the vendors in various towns to find who was cheapest. A small house would range from 38k to the normal 44k price. That's quite a saving when you're new and scraping up enough for your first house to have made it worthwhile to recall around.
Re: House prices
On Atlantic and i am sure it was the same on other shards.
Small House deeds were 44k but the wooden house was always 38k even when the vendor was completely restocked.

Re: House prices
Same, always would buy the small wooden houses because it was cheaper.
Did not care about how something looked and in reality it was the same as the other small houses besides the visual appearance.

Small bricks would be in the upper column of pricing around 44-45k.Loke - Jan 31, 2000 - http://groups.google.com/group/rec.games.computer.ultima.online/browse_thread/thread/dc3d6474c52f6cd3/0bb3725d14502d70?lnk=gst&q=small+wooden+house+price#0bb3725d14502d70 wrote:I agree. The proposed idea will not work. A house deed can be sold back at the amount it was purchased for. But prices varry quite a bit. A small house goes from 38k to 44k. The difference with a two-storey is more than 20k. Deeds are not a very good way to transfer large sums, unless you don't care about a difference in the 20k size...
Re: House prices
On Great Lakes, the cheapest house that was available was the thatched roof cottage at about 34k. With respect to such variances in prices, we do know that the price of items not only fluctuated with the availability of the item (although I don't know if this occurred with house deeds), but we know that with most larger expense items the prices would fluctuate based on the background "economy" as well. However, the way in which the economy actually played into the price of such items is still unknown to us at this time.

Re: House prices
I remember on Lake Superior that Wooden houses were cheaper than all other small house types.
That may have been Renaissance-era.

Re: House prices
On pacific, I recall the nice looking sandstone/brick ones costing like 5-6k more than the wooden hovel as well.Godwynn wrote:I remember on Lake Superior that Wooden houses were cheaper than all other small house types.
