Premium FAQ
How do I set up a house or shop?
First, you will need some Hollow credits which you get by donating real money to Hollow.
Second, choose a location for your home. Ideal locations are houses that are pre-existing which are described as or are named “Empty”, “Vacant” or “To Let”. You are almost guaranteed to get these properties. Otherwise you will need to choose an unused spot or somewhere a room may fit. Please note just because you cannot move east does not mean there is nothing east, this may be a wall! Please make sure you have a backup choice in case your first is unavailable.
Third, write a description for the room. Please consider Hollow's setting when doing so. This mainly means don’t add any modern conveniences to it such as microwave ovens, refrigerators, machine guns etc.
Fourth, set up your house subscription; this is where your credits come into play. Type ‘Premiums’ into the command bar and you will be taken to your personal premium screen. Select ‘House’ from the service drop down menu, and the subscription period (how many months you want to own the house). Then click ‘Sign Up’. Don’t worry -- your subscription is not activated yet, but it is registered.
Finally, send an Hmail to Builder with your choice of location and room description. As soon as possible, they will set up the house and activate your subscription. The subscription will then be paid from this day onwards.
Note: You cannot use this function to build an area. You may have no more than a maximum of 10 houses/shops spread out across the realm, and no more than 6 clustered in a single location, such as a building. Rooms that are clustered together cannot represent a village or area. How many rooms can be clustered, and for what purpose, are to be approved by admin.
