PREMIUM HOUSING (Reminder)
What is Premium Housing?
There are some important differences between the premium housing on the cape and the original four neighborhoods.
→ For a comparison between premium and classic housing : use this page.
To begin, purchasing a Rohan/Premium house is done through the LOTRO store using LOTRO points. You can buy your house with either Mithril Coins or Premium Housing Writs.
Why would I spend real money on a house? What are the advantages?
There are a number of benefits that come with owning a house in one of the two Rohan neighborhoods:
- You can own as many houses as you want on as many or few characters as you want, in addition to your original house in one of the other four classic neighborhoods
- You can own a Meadhall (Rohan only!) with a huge number of decoration hooks
- The smallest house in Rohan has more decoration hooks than any house in Eriador
- The two Rohan neighborhoods each contain one unique house with a unique interior that is a little bit different from the other houses of the neighborhood (Rohan only!)
- Every house in Kingstead neighborhood has two interiors (3 for the unique one)
- Only a one minute cooldown on the house port
- Each premium houses have a Music hook in their yard, and multiple Music hooks inside the house (compared to a single one on classic houses)
- You can customize the dayfile of your yard using the Ambient Environment hook (changing the weather, adding clouds, etc)
- No monthly maintenance fee for VIP players
- …
Since U19.2 (& U30):
In case you transfer a character or account to another server, the house is fully refunded. You will get special Writs that you can redeem for a new premium house.
In case of abandonment or seizure of the house, you will be reimbursed for up to 90% of the starting price through the Writs.
