CipSoft is changing a lot about how Tibia is played and it has been a lot about facilitating new players to get into ‘lategame’ easier, but a few days ago they took a huge step back on regards of the reception of new and casual players. By announcing that rental prices will come up to 10.000% up for even 5sqm houses.

They based the new prices on housing statistics that might not be so accurate.

They based the rental prices into the ‘buy’ price at the auction, but this isn’t a reliable price. Example: the price that you buy a car cannot be the same as renting it. Consumables only got up to 20% increase but we’ve been “accumulated considerable wealth”, why shouldn’t it be higher?

One of the biggest problems with housing in the game right now is that even if you buy one it is really challenging (forum+trade chat) to sell it if you don’t know the person that might be interested in it.

“Rent a house and decorate it with collected items and nice furniture” — they say on website

We are building tibiahouses.com to give players easier access to the game housing system, be it buying, selling or just renting. We are now a notification system for auctions but very shortly we will be your way to selling houses easier.

We ran a poll on a popular Tibia group in facebook and with over 64% of the players indicating that they would stop using the housing system if the prices remain what was announced.

If you came up to this point, dont forget to answer the poll so we can get a more accurate result.

We at tibiahouses.com really hope that these prices get reviewed, as we strongly believe that It should be raised but at max 10x what It was. Cip has a background on coming back from announced changes — such as damage for runned runes, so we really hope that this is one of these cases.
