I think the question is what we architects can do about it. Some people on these boards disagree and think 10k is fine for a house, but most architects don't even read these boards. Some of them don't know any better. So how can we help to set the market expectation for this kind of thing?

Small houses are the domain of novice architects. I sold mine cheap and threw in a loveseat just to get them sold so I could run and put the cash in a harvester. Once I advanced a little, I quit messing with smalls. As for you masters that cant seem to make any cash......


You never will if you buy all your resources, I'm selling my products for around 3.5 - 4.0/resource (that I mined) and I cant make the stuff fast enough. In fact, I'm running out of things to spend money on.

First off, who needs furniture? Your character and another character can sit in a cool chair. Whoop-dee-doo. Next, the only true reason for a house is a shop. The bazaar only lists items for 3k at max, so when som1 wants to sellsomething for higher, they have to get a house. Other than that, combat characters would need them for nothing. The main reason architects are bug in Scylla(in my opinion) is the abundance of PA's in our server. Architect is now a joke when customers say, "12k for a house, I can get it for 8!" That's a joke when they will buy a Rocket Launcher from a weaponsmith, whick they can only use 20-something times, for 40-50k. As far as Urban Planner goes, sounded cool, got screwed up, no one is going to care, be maybe 10 PC's per server, the end of that profession to. I can't belive i spent 33k crafting xp on something so useless...

What this is going to do is make our profession useless soon, and we will have no source of income.. Please think before you sell... 20 - 25K for a small home is a great price. If you are selling them for 10K you are not making ANY credits unless you are exploiting, that is less than 3 credits PER REASOURCE. If you want I will make you a deal infact, if you want to make3 credits per resource PLEASE send me a /tell in game on the Lowca server and I will be happy to buy every last drop or ORE you have at that rate.. Please think before you sell.. A house is worth way more than 10,000 credits..

I am tired of all you sissy Nancy boys running around crying about selling houses for 10k. I happen to sell my small houses for 8k what do you think about that. I cant help it if you cant sell your product.... TRY MARKETING!!!!! Its a game there will always be a market for houses and if you need the extra money try doing some missions and stop sitting around in your 11k homes crafting.

P.S Havent you babies ever heard of low income housing?

That statement right there means you're selling too cheap. It's a very basic supply/demand principal.
