Elin:Housing
 | Some of the text on this page is from the Alpha build of the game. |
Housing
A key part of Elin is managing My Home, a location the player sets up as a home base for housing.
Housing has several mechanics relating to land ownership, delegating tasks, raising your community, and Crafting.
Buildings
Four walls (or more) and a door!
Roles
- Maid: Expands your land and allows you to meet with visitors.
Taxes
Taxes are due at the beginning of every month, with a tax bill being mailed to the player. Not paying your taxes in time gives the player negative karma, and can lead to reprocussions. Taxes are calculated by value of the items in My Home.
Jobs
Each resident of My Home has a primary job which they will try to fulfil if your home has the proper facilities and signboard, and a hobby which they will do on the side.
