  • I would snap one of these up.  Or an even more expensive firebog house.

  • I, like Kookaburra, would also snap one of these right up. Those firebog houses are nicely designed, I love them, but they just don't currently provide enough. I support this idea. :)

    And yes, Kalavana needs more publicity. And a subway station, but that's a topic for another post.

  • I offer my full support of this idea if the big firebog mansion gets more barnacles than five. :P Also, maybe a second firefly swarm?

    (Seven barnacles might be cool, considering that's a very 'even' number for the utilities available now. IE 7 talc = one crystal. With the fireflies of course. :P)

  • +111- PLEASE. I've got loads of currants burning a hole in my virtual wallet, and I'd love for Kalavana to have some bigger and better housing- particularly since the top-tier realty's pretty concentrated, and all of a type (which isn't necessarily everybody's personal cuppa joe, myself included).

  • I'd move to the bogs in a minute if there were bigger homes available!  +1

  • there hasn't been a 10k home for sale in Chakra Phool for a long time, and I'd love to get an egg tree going among other things.  bigger houses would be great, as would more of everything (and don't forget jellisacs among the possible offerings; I have two now!)... 

    also, either there should be some possibilities for crop gardens (maybe a small indoor greenhouse with two plots?) or some herb-related quests so that swamp dwellers aren't the only ones that have to spend days and days hovering in community gardens (to complete the Onion and Potato/Tomato quests)...  it's enough to make me feel homeless, when in fact I love my house and my neighbors!

  • Thanks for your thoughts guys. :)

    I was thinking that they could be a bit similar in looks to the houses up north in Ur of the same price, but they need that signature firebog wood-feel, you know?

    +1 on small indoor greenhouse, even if it is 2 plots. :)

  • I personally hope they aren't much like the northern 50Ks- it'd be nice to have a couple of distinct styles and layouts rather than yet more Alakol homes (only brown or something).
    Posted 13 months ago by Djabriil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yeah, they do need to have uniqueness. The northern 50Ks are not for everyone (though I currently live in one). I want a big firebog house that has that wood-feel, can grow herbs (maybe a little spinach), and... yeah.... you know what I mean. :)

    I really hope Tiny Speck looks at this thread... it seems that this type of house would draw quite a bit of interest!

  • @Lontonthir - lol I used to live in a 50K... then moved back to the bogs :) It just didn't feel as cozy as my old 7.5K did (and the tables in the bogs are handy!).
    Posted 13 months ago by Djabriil Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Djabrill- Yeah, I liked the bogs too, but I needed a) more room to grow things and b) more room for animals. I currently have 22 Piggies, 13 butterflies, and 3 chickens. A new house type like what I suggested above would help me (and a lot of other people) get the best of both worlds. :)
    Posted 13 months ago by Rhubewook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes, please.  I bought the 50K for features, not for the bleak graphics.  Firebog homes are so much nicer as far as look and feel.

  • +1
    I'd really really save my currants just for a bigger house at the bogs.
    Posted 13 months ago by roderick ordonez Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thanks for your input, both of you. :)
    Posted 13 months ago by Rhubewook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Would love these, especially if they had jellisacs as well as fireflies. With the current houses you have to choose one or the other.
    Posted 13 months ago by Sunburst Subscriber! | Permalink
  • +1 to bigger firebog homes (Not Alakol modern style homes, but as OP suggests, something that carries on the existing Firebog feel/style)
    Posted 13 months ago by Doctor Yum Yum Subscriber! | Permalink
  • +A MILLION  I've been waiting to see these since about the day I signed up and learned there were homes.  I really hope something like this is in the works...
    Posted 13 months ago by ♪♥~ Auren ~♥♪ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes, something that carries the current FIrebog style, but bigger (and better). :)
    Posted 13 months ago by Rhubewook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I think it needs a couple peat bogs as well... just sayin'
    Posted 13 months ago by Rhubewook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I would love that, so adding my voice to the plea. :)
    Posted 13 months ago by Katee Subscriber! | Permalink
  • This would be great. I'd also like houses in which I could plant everything; trees, egg plants, crops and herbs. Keeping batterflies would be great too. And yeah, I'd happily pay extortionate prices for them :P
    Posted 13 months ago by Aerliss Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I agree, Aerliss.  I'd gladly pay an extremely insane amount of currants for a house like that.  Well, without the batterflies.. those freak me out almost as much as the gnomes. -_-
    Posted 13 months ago by ♪♥~ Auren ~♥♪ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Haha. The batterflies could be optional, like in an egg or something. :)
    Posted 13 months ago by Rhubewook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'd kinda like the option of batterflies, tbh- beats having to brave the lag I usually get swamped with, trying to dig around Ilmenskie for an hour to collect 2 plops. I'd also be a lot more prone to feed my own batterflies than I usually am anywhere else, so I'd probably make out pretty well if I could have some of my own.

  • Definitely interested in this, My GF already has her 50k mansion but I really dont wanna give up the benefits or aesthetic feel of my 5k Firebog house.  I would grab one of these in a heartbeat.
    Posted 13 months ago by Bladeseye Subscriber! | Permalink
  • +1.  Don't forget Jellisacs as an option instead of some of the mortar barnacles.
    Posted 13 months ago by echan star Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I think it would be interesting to have a Mazz'ala Gala type of house, with an added basement level for the herb plots, barnacles, firefly swarms, etc.

    While we're at it, add a garden area for a giant tree to grow, for vines to hang from, and for fireflies to hang out.

    That would be a beautiful party setting. Hang firefly jars from a vine, or something. *dreams*

  • Wow I totally forgot to check this post for the comments.

    You're all thinking my style. I'll update the post with some of your awesome ideas.
    Posted 13 months ago by Rhubewook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I definately agree that it would be nice to have a deluxe version of the firebog homes, but the second 45k house you described is probably a bit over the top. It would have the same number of garden and tree plots as a 50k modern home pluss a grab bag of other serious bonuses on top of it. Maybe if the price was upped to 100k it would balance it out a little.

  • Make it so!
    Posted 13 months ago by H-nes Subscriber! | Permalink
  • With the big one, I would much rather have a peat bog & jellisac, than the extra egg trees.

    I'm a huge fan of the yard that comes with one of the 5k styles and has the bog & jellisac instead of the tree. (see here) In fact, I was very very torn about moving up to the 7.5k because a) no bog b) I didn't necessarily want the egg tree and c) the yard is so flat and meh. Heck, I even like the yard in this 3.5k better than the one in the 7.5k (again, bog and rocky levels, but also vine! whee!).

    But more than any other home improvements, I want to be able to have a massive swarm spread throughout the basement again. *sniff*

  • I wish that when buying homes, we could select which features would appear in them. I have a peat bog which I don't use, but I would love to have a firefly swarm or a dark patch as a replacement. I'd pay a lot of currants for a customizable home. 
    Posted 13 months ago by roderick ordonez Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @Melting Sky- True, now that I look back on it, it is a bit over the top. No way they'd put that many features into a home for that price. Will edit.

    @H-nes- Yes, make it so!

    @Vera Strange- Yeah, I'm going to be editing this post The features need to be balanced out for diffferent price levels.

    @roderick ordonez- I read somewhere that customizable homes are coming in 2012... dunno if that's rumour or fact.
    Posted 13 months ago by Rhubewook Subscriber! | Permalink
  • The One Month Anniversary post talks about the house upgrades & customizations: http://www.glitch.com/blog/2011/10/27/one-month-anniversary/

    And here's the comment where the 2012 rumor came from:
    "This is the most important (and largest) feature we are adding to the game. We originally planned to have it in during beta, but it is very complex! (Whole new UIs, hundreds of items, wallpapers, decorations, new kinds of projects for upgrades, different flexible house "frames" which can be extended in different ways ... all do-able, just a lot of work to get right.) Don't expect it before 2012 and you will not be disappointed!"

  • Yes ! I hang with a friend who has a bog home and I would be extremely tempted to give up my beloved bortola oriental 15,000 c cottage for a bigger, better bog home. Those tables are so cool (so WISH i had one in my cottage) , and the fish (glitchfish?) bowl , and the firefly swarm ,etc! Also , I do hope you can add like potted mini trees or something to a bog house- say like a mini cherry tree-that wont produce as much harvest as a full tree would-but would still enable bog folks to have more than herbs,and eggplants.
    Same goes for the other way, I'd love to have ability to grow herbs at my cottage...but I know there should be balance-so maybe the devs can find a way .: )
    ALSO -what Vera said -please fix the firelfy issue in the swamp houses ! They are so pretty to watch but I'd like to be see to add them to EACH room ,and watch them school around.Very relaxing.
