Getting A House

There are two methods of buying a house. The first method is if you are buying an ordinary house, one that was always on Medivia. The second method is used if you are purchasing a VIP house.

Normal Houses

Steps to buy a house:
1) Login on your account at Medivia.online site.
2) Go to tab Community and then choose Houses (direct link: Houses).
3) Pick right values according to your needs in dropdown menus world/town/status and click "Show".
4) When you find a house you want to bid click it's name (it's a link) and you will be forwarded to it's subpage. Here you pick proper character which will be owner if you win and input amount of gold you want to bid with. Then click "Bid on auction".
Check details about bidding system in "How Do I Pay Rent & Bids?" paragraph.
[Note:] You can only bid with your proven bank balance, so you can enter maximum of what you had in your bank account at last server save.
5) After previous step auction timer will start and you will have to wait the specified time, ranging from 1 up to 6 days of waiting time. You can check if your offer is the highest at the moment at specific house subpage where you put your bid. Auction timer stops with specified server save.
6) If your offer was the highest you became house owner. Now make sure you have enough gold for rent becouse it will be taken from your account at next server save.

Now enjoy your house and make sure to have gold for rent every month to remain the owner (check paragraph "How Do I Pay Rent & Bids?").

VIP Houses

The second method is if you are purchasing a VIP House. These houses are different to ordinary houses as they require Medivia Coins to be purchased. Once you have at least 8 lvl and the required amount of Medivia Coins you can go to any of the doors or walls of the desired house and type !buyhouse. Keep in mind that you will still have to pay the monthly rent in Medivia Coins for VIP houses. When you first buy a house, make sure you have Medivia Coins in stash or in any depot BEFORE the next server save (system will check depots in order: Home -> Lucindel -> Mittenhoff -> Eschen -> Arak -> Thoris -> Osaris -> Garrogat -> Abukir -> Icenhaal -> Yehsha -> Zarrith -> Luana).

How Do I Pay Rent & Bids?

For regular houses all you have to do is have the correct amount of money that the rent is (or more) in bank/gold pouch (pouch is the same as bank since it uses it's balance) or any depot (system will check it in order: balance -> stash -> depots; Home -> Lucindel -> Mittenhoff -> Eschen -> Arak -> Thoris -> Osaris -> Garrogat -> Abukir -> Icenhaal -> Yehsha -> Zarrith -> Luana).

For VIP houses you must have Medivia Coins for rent in stash or in any depot.

Let's look at an example:

I bid 5,000 gold to buy a house with a monthly rent cost of 1,000 gold. I put 6,500 gold into my depot and when auction is finished 5,000 gold from my bid is automatically taken from my depot. And then at next server save 1,000 gold will be taken for rent leaving 500 gold in my depot and I have another month until the next rent.

[Note #1] Keep in mind that you can only bid with your proven bank balance, so you can enter maximum of what you had in your bank account at last server save.

How the Bidding System Works

Quickly:

 

• Highest bidder - The person who currently has the highest bid.
• Challenger - Someone who is bidding against the current highest bidder.
• Current Bid - What is currently seen by players as the highest bid so far.
• Current Maximum - How high the current bidder is willing to pay as a maximum. This is not shown publicly.
• Challenger Maximum - How high the new bidder is willing to pay up to.

 

1. Auctions go for 1-7 days
2. First bids begin at 10gp
3. Bid Offers:
   1. If the challenger's maximum is higher than the current maximum, the new bid will go to the challenger. The amount will be the old maximum + 10gp.
   2. If the challenger's maximum is lower than the current maximum, the current bid will increase to the challenger's maximum +10gp.

E.g.
Bill bids with a 10,000gp maximum on a house as the first bidder, raising the current bid from 0gp to 10gp. Robert now bids 12,000 on the same house. As the new bid is higher, Robert is now the highest bidder and the current bid will be shown as 10,010 gp.
Jeff bids with a 45,000 maximum on a house, beating Jake who had a 15,000 bid on the house. This raises the bid from 10gp to 15,010gp. Louis now bids 35,000 hoping to beat Jeff's bid. Unfortunately, Jeff had a higher maximum and will maintain his authority as top bidder on the house. The current bid will now increase from 15,010gp to 35,010gp.

[Note #2] The same player can bid on the same house and the system acts as if it's a new player. This means that if you bid 60k and then bid 100k, the new current bid will change from 10gp to 60,010gp with a new maximum of 100,000gp.

Paying Rent in Novus
In order to pay the rent for houses in Novus you must be in mainland and send a parcel to the house owner in Novus

For Example. Ma'ngo owns Ziyad's Hut 2 which has a rent cost of 500 gold. Le'mon who is in mainland would send Ma'ngo in Novus 500 gold (or more) each month to pay for the rent.

[Note #3] If you do not pay the rent, you will be given 7 days to pay before you lose ownership of the House and your items will be automatically put into your Depot.

[Note #4] You must pay the bid the same server save that the auction ends. Then you have 7 days to pay the first rent, although it's every 30 days to pay rent after the first time, although you have an additional 7 days if you do not pay the rent on time.

How Do I Leave / Sell My House?

You can leave or sell your house at anytime you feel like it.

To leave your house simply say "!leavehouse" and all of your items will be teleported to your depot that is in that city (Thoris houses will get their items teleported to the Thoris depot). You must be inside your house in order to use this command.

To sell your house just say "!sellhouse <Player Name>" and a trade will be made between you and another player where your side is a document. A common misconception among players is that you have to be near or inside of your house when selling it, although this is wrong. Trading a house can happen anywhere, so it's good to be in a safer environment such as a depot.
In the following example, Le'mon typed in "!sellhouse Nina Impression" while standing near the player. Nina Impression decided that a Rope was worth the house.

 
 You should always check the item you're being traded, you might be being scammed with a document instead of a house bill.

House Rights

The owner of a house will always have access to every room and every door in the House, Shop or Guildhall as long as they do not sell or leave the house. There are three House Rights Spells (and another for kicking players out) that are:

 

• Atatio Par

For editing the Guest List (list of people who can come into the house)

• Atatio Som

For editing the Sub-Owners List (list of people who have the ability to edit the Guest List and kick Players out of the House)

• Atatio Mer

For editing the Door Access (while looking frontally at a door, use this spell and anyone who you put into that list will be able to open that door)

• Attar Par "NAME"

When used, will automatically teleport that player to the entry (outside) of the House. Beware as they can still come inside so it is wise to use the Atatio Par spell if someone is doing something wrong; after removing their name from the list they are immediately teleported out.
