Player housing
All player housing zones are an instance of the zone Sunrise Hills.
Houses serve a few purposes. You can use them for player storage, social interactions (like guild meetings), and just plain fun (like decorating). Trophies in your house also can provide tribute benefits.
Quote from SOE forums thread by Ngreth, EQ Developer:

1 room houses store 100 items total, the vault taking from that space and sized according to which house you buy as mentioned above. The standard plot can also hold 50 items. There is NO vault space in a plot. Note. A house will take one of these spots. There are "high end", more expensive plots that can hold 60 items, and "low end", cheaper plots that only store 40. Also, there is a pet limit in plots. Only they can only have 1/10th of their space taken by pets, (so 4, 5 or 6) and only two pets per plot can be set to wander. Houses do not have this limit. A player can have up to 2 plots, and one House per plot. The plots can be in a different or the same neighborhood. |

Basics
From the October 12, 2010 patch message:
- For House of Thule owners EverQuest now has player housing! To shop for a nice plot of land to own, find the new wing of the guild lobby and talk to Anna. Clicking on the gate will allow you to select a neighborhood.
- You can own up to two plots, with a house on each one.
- Different houses may be purchased from vendors that offer different amounts of housing item and non-housing item space.
- There are lots of items for housing to acquire both in-game and on the marketplace-furniture, tradeskill stations, pets, art, architectural pieces, and more!
- Use your house as extra storage space!
- Find trophies to place in your yard or house that grant stat benefits like tribute effects.
- Show off your creativity in decorating to your friends and guild-mates.
- Look for a detailed article on EQPlayers that explains the new housing features in-depth.
This is just the perfect awnser for all of us
Plots
There are different size plots. The apparent size of the plot on your screen is unimportant. It is when you click on the "plot stone" that a window appears that states the size of the plot.
Some plot sizes:
- Capacity 90 (items), Pets 6
- Capacity 75, Pets 5
Trophies
You may place trophies in your house. They will give you benefits like tribute and stack with tribute. The benefits expend your personal tribute points when active.
Moving your house
1. Buy a Moving Crate big enough to fit your yard items. Moving crates are sold by Ardak McMahon (yes, that's right, the Barkeep sells the moving crates) in the housing zones. He is in the hut next to the zone to the guild lobby.
2. Stand on your plot and go to "layout" tab on your estate items window. Save both house and yard layouts.
3. Place the Moving Crate on the yard and click "pack," all your items will disappear (into the crate)
[If you pick up a house with items in it, the house should keep the layout and items inside of it.]
4. Go to your new plot.
5. Put down your moving crate, "unpack" from estate window.
6. Go to layout and load your saved layout. and enjoy your new plot.
Guild Hall
You may now place a guild hall in a housing zone, if your guild has purchased one. Purchasing a guild housing zone is done with Station Cash.
Changing the sex and/or race of guild hall assistants
You can change the sex and/or race of some of the NPCs placed in the housing zone guild hall. This requires a Convoluted Assistant Appearance Augmentater.
