How to acquire a house
If there are houses available, then you can buy a lease with real life money, ie US dollars. See this forum topic: http://forums.swut.net/viewtopic.php?t=359
Egg reserves the right to recycle your house if you don't login for 3 months.
How much do they cost
Prices on application. General rule of thumb is: 20c per square.
Just the frame is sold for Real Life money. All other components (tiles and placeables) are purchased with in-game gold.
Eg: a 60 square house would cost $12, payable via paypal.
What are they good for
In you house you can drop anything and it is automatically locked down, so it won't decay and cannot be stolen. You can also terraform the floors: ie change the carpet, put in chairs, tables, etc.
Terraforming the house
Each house comes with a renovation wand, which can be used within the boundaries of your house to pick up tiles (or convert them into tile scrolls).
Terraforming tile scrolls and placeable item scrolls are available from Ikea in Dryden for in-game money or adamantium coins. Shift-r read the scroll to place it.
Containers (or mimics)
One of the placeable scrolls is for a container, which when placed resembles a mimic. Items can be 'bought' or 'sold' into the container just like the player bank.
You can personalise the mimics name with the /merchname command.
Mimics are purchasable from your local scribe: look for the container scroll. Container scrolls can also be scribed by a player with a high enough Inscription skill.
Where are they located
Most housing is located in the following towns:
Although there are a few houses scattered throughout the other towns:
