For those who are interested, there is now another addition to the specially build houses up for auction. This house is built within one of Elysium's secret locations that is inaccessible other than being gated or having a gate opened for you.
At this time, there is a gate to the gardens of the house, located on top of the gatehouse (across from Brit Bank where the medics spawn). Once you get to the house and the special grounds it's build upon, do not mark runes there. The only one who will have a right to mark runes will be the winner of the auction and those they give permission to. That's why the special houses cost so much money. Please respect this and do not mark a rune.
In order to bid on the house, you must fall within the housing guidelines:
A) Either be willing to demolish your current house,
B) Purchase a second house deed from the donation store, or
C) GM all skills to gain a second character you can give the house to.
To place your bid on the house, buy a book from a scribe. Inside the book, write your name and your bid for the house. No bids below 5 million will be accepted. Drop your book into the auction box located at the new house. This is a "mailbox" style box that can only be opened by staff so your bid is secret. The auction box will be removed on July 31st at 12:00 noon server time, and the bids checked for the highest bidder. The highest bidder will be notified shortly after that and will be given 72 hours to notify staff of their intent for payment and taking possession of their new house. This house should be expensive. It has extensive land, a private den, keyword teleporters, fully developed gardens and land, fully stocked and decorated. All these items are included in the buy price. While I cannot tell you exactly how much the last house went for, I will say it was over 20 mill, so you can approximate bidding from there.
For the house itself, it comes complete as is. The new owner will be able to add to the house and yard by the use of the yard deco wand. No construction changes are allowed on the house itself, so please don't buy and then hope we'll recustomize for you. The house is complete with supply chests, forge and anvil, stove and fireplace, custom built fireplaces, a grill and waterfall, as well as custom made furnishings and crafting areas. It is ready for occupation, and all you'll need to do is move your storage containers in.
Each of the specially built houses for auction have a unique feature to them. This house has four keyword teleporters that will take you to the location you say if you say the words Den, Garden, Roof, Deck from anywhere within or close to the house. Saying garden when you are in the private den will return you to the second story gardens of the house. These keywords can be reset for the new owner one time.
Good luck to everyone bidding!
