Housing Information
The Housing Agents for Kalavan, Ados and Kirdneh has provided us with the following information for prospective house buyers:
- Buyers must be recommended by the monarchy of Kalavan / the residents of Ados / the museum curator in Kirdneh
- Requests from juvenile house buyers will not be entertained. You must have visited Faiumoni for at least 300 hours.
- A new Kalavan house costs 100,000 money. A new Ados or Kirdneh house costs 120,000 money. For this price you receive:
- A key
- The ability to buy spare keys
- A safe place to leave your sheep or pet (except for if server is restarted!)
- A shared chest which anyone inside the house can place items in and get items out of
- Each person may own only one house
The Housing Agent for Kalavan is Barrett Holmes, usually found walking around the city. The housing agent for Ados is Reg Denson, who has offices in the Ados Townhall. The Housing Agent for Kirdneh is Roger Frampton, and he works in Kirdneh Townhall. The Housing Agent for Athor is Cyk, he sunbathes on Athor beach.
You need to know the house number you want so you can ask the agent about it. Kalavan houses are numbered from 1 to 25. Kirdneh houses are numbered 26 to 49. Ados houses are numbered from 50 to 77. Athor holiday apartments are numbered from 101 to 108. The house number is on the front of the house, on a small sign. For example, the house below is number 21:
You can ask the Estate agent for each area what houses are available there. If none are available now, check back in a few weeks as houses get can be repossessed by the state or sold back to the state by the owner.
Tax
House Tax is 1000 money per 30 days payable to Mr Taxman in Ados townhall. You can check with him any time if you owe tax. If you pay over 30 days late then you get charged 10% interest. If you don't pay for 180 days then the house is repossessed, the locks are changed and anyone else can buy the house. The items you left in the chest remain there.
Spare Keys
Spare keys cost 1000 money each. You can give spare keys to your spouse or closest friends. Remember that anyone with a key has free access to your house, including items in your chest. Once you have bought a house you can buy spare keys for that house only.
You may end up carrying more than one house key. For example, if you own a house, and you have a friend who gives you a spare key to a house they own. But don't worry, you can still keep track of which key is which! Just Look on the key and you will see each has a number which matches the number of the house it unlocks, and the owner of that house.
House keys cannot be dropped if you die, so it's safe to carry them with you on your travel through Faiumoni.
Selling Houses
You can sell your house back to the house seller and regain some of the original cost (like 40%). As the original buyer retains the right to buy spare keys for his house, it is impossible to sell a house to someone else - you must sell it back to the estate agent, who will then change the locks. Remember to empty your chest first. Another player can then buy that house from the house seller.
If someone offers to sell you their house, they are cheating you, as they can still always buy keys themself. They should sell it back to the estate agent.
Chest
Houses are equipped with a chest which anyone who can access the house, can use. If you give someone a key to your house they can take the items from your chest, so be very careful who you give a key. You must also trust that they would tell you if they lost the key, so you could change the locks.
Changing Locks
This costs 1000 money from any estate agent and you get a new key for it. Any spare keys can be bought too. Your old keys won't work. You should change your locks if you think someone has access to your house who shouldn't.
Pets and Sheep
Most houses have sheepfood to feed your sheep if you bring him indoors. It is also a safe place to leave your sheep or pet - but not if the server is reset! We plan to fix this someday but till then, be careful about leaving pets in your house if the server might be restarted.
House doors
Anyone can look at the door to see who owns the house, or if it is for sale. Someone outside can knock on the door which sends a message to the people inside the house.
