So I've bought my horse, I'm almost level 41 and I have a bit over 3 gold lying around. I've been considering buying a house just for shits and giggles, but I want to know: What does the house do for me? Is it a place I can do crafting? Does it have an auctioneer interface? Is it anything more than just storage and trophy space? In short, should I spend the money on a house or not?
The house you buy is shared between all your characters. It gives you a safe storage space to move gear between them. All your characters also gain a once an hour teleport to your house, so it makes getting around a bit easier if you're not a hunter.
edit: oh, also, be aware that kinship houses work the same way, and any character in a kin with a house gets yet another teleport.

Note that you cannot place bound items into housing storage, if it wasn't obvious. Additionally, you get a discount from the vendors in your neighborhood although not enough to offset your weekly upkeep unless you buy a lot of shit. It also has a mailbox but... you said it yourself, it's mostly for shits and giggles. If I need to get to Michel Delving in a hurry, I can zap to my hobbit house. I suppose you can also do some gay-ass RP in there.
Why am I homeless? Why do all you motherfuckers need homes is the real question. They called it The Prayer, its answer was law Mommy come back 'cause the water's all gone
That's why you get a house in a neighbourhood where you don't already have a nearby racial teleport. And yes, since you can specify who are allowed to enter your house, it's great for "RP."
- I'm giving you this one for free. - Nothing's free in the waterworld.
