I've been chomping at the bit for housing there. I think Alakol is just beautiful!!! And the houses look fantastic. So, I'm going to be auctioning all my belongings.... please buy away and support my Glitch habit. I really love my house in Marrakesh, and would have never thought about switching... until I saw those! You've all outdone yourselves with those!!
The addresses are on Quarter Street, but that street isn't in the Alakol list. (You need to have the greasemonkey script running to see the extended list of locations). Perhaps our houses are invalid (or test) locations?
edit: Wait, Cupcake bought 8? That's also the one I bought. Hmm... my profile page won't load now, either, but when I click on the "Sold" houses, it does say I own it. Weird!
Hey Cupcake, we may temporarily end up as roommates! I'll try not to leave dirty dishes in the sink.
If I reach back to the Mirch dev-stalking days.... and the course the apartments took in that one... for a brief while there there looked like 2 of every address. In reality, those became Froughtful Arms and Froughtful Villa Apts. I think the bad joo-joos people are seeing is just a by-product of the interface not knowing how to display information for the not-yet-released 'hidden' location the housing is on... so when you look at our profile it errors. Course it could be erroring because there's two buyers, what do I know?
How exciting! Land speculation!
This afternoon I was watching a Bauhaus feature and thinking how suitable it would be as a style adapted to Alakol.
So yes, I'm excited.
Your profiles are fixed again, the houses have been sold and the money returned. Please repurchase your old homes assuming you want to and they are still available — if someone bought your old house in the meantime, please file a ticket in the help system and we'll deal with those on a case by case basis.
Thanks for the fix, stoot, et al. I'm sad that I can't buy one of those excellent houses yet, but happy that my account (and currants) are back to normal.
Let's hope the new styles are ready for prime time soon!
I have a feeling they will be a lot like the houses in Shimla. The first batch went really quick, but then a whole lot more came on the market pretty fast.
Oooh! 1padme, that's an idea. Real estate auctions! It's too bad that when we sell our homes we cannot sell to a particular person. On the other hand, I suppose it's good that we can always sell a home we don't want, even if there isn't a buyer for it.
Dang, didn't have a chance to see them. Looking forward to being able to buy one, though! Then again, I might not try too hard since we'll be resetting, lol.
Oh crumbs, now I feel really bad - does that mean the groddle forest house I bought was only on sale because someone mistakenly bought an Alakol home?!
