Hmm new houses in Alakol not my style - so I'm one person that won't be rushing out to buy one. Now if they were to make a Victorian mansion or southern antebellum style of house, I would beat you down to be first in line.
Those homes are hot. I love living in Jethimadh, but I sure do miss the daylight...
Can we get put on a waiting list or something, like new condos/apartments are IRL? I'd pay an extra 10-20K currants to guarantee that I get one of the 50K Alakol houses. :)
I wonder how you get to the different levels... do they have elevators? I'm really on the fence about buying... I've been quite content in my little home in the Meadows... but a bit jealous of the folks who have different levels and ladders to play on... but not so much their overall darkness...
My favorite yards are the ones in the Heights...
It'll be interesting to see what we'll be able to do when our homes become more customizable! <g>
Hey Stoot, I still don't have my currents back yet.
I was also wondering if you guys are going to refund us the cost of buying our houses back as well as the 20% loss in selling it in the first place. I'm not trying to be greedy, I just mine/work hard for those currents. :)
Ok, I'll do that. Thanks Travinara. Did you just get the 50K back? Or did they give you more, like I mentioned above about the cost to buy back your house and the 20% we lost selling our houses.
I got the 50k back, I didn't mention anything about the loss in the home sale - but I would if I were you. The dev's are good folks and (I'm betting) more annoyed at the bug that let the houses show up than they are a few currants.
I was planning on moving anyway (I want an apartment in Groddle), and I'm not fussed about 2k in currants (gimme an hours of game time). Only wanted the big bulk because, well.... the houses could re-appear!
My two cents: everyone's 20% should be returned, because being able to buy these homes was a bug, not a feature, and players shouldn't be penalized for it.
I did mention it to them and hopefully they will it fix and maybe if we are lucky get back what we did lose. So are you homeless now Travinara? I'm not worried about a few currant here or there but if we ever have to go through this experience again (and not forgetting we losing everything in the selling of our old house because they don't transfer over like the trophy case), we'll need all our currants.
I agree with you Glum, it was a bug and we weren't suppose to buy the house, everything should be set back like it was before, like it didn't happen.
A beautiful dream only to awake up and find it wasn't for real. :(
I'll give you the 20% if it'll make folks happy :D
I'm actually content with homeless. I could easily go re-purchase my house, but I only bought it cause the Rock made me do it. Not sure if I finished that Quest or not... so I'm waiting to check my Quest Log when the game opens before I buy a new place.
Folks- to repeat Stoot- if you purchased a home and had it removed then bought back your old house, please file a ticket in the help system for us, we'll handle refunds from there. (The automatic refunds didn't happen, we'll take care of them though. :)
Hey Glum,
I got reimburse the 20% (plus the cost of the Alakol house). That's probably because I mentioned it to them when I filled out my help ticket. You should fill one out if you didn't get your 20% back yet.
Told you them dev's rock! I think there were only about 8 of us... myself, Rilu, PittyPat, Cupcake, Merek, Teena, Anne216 (anyone know who got the last one?). I took the 'teleport there' when I bought it... so I'm fascinated to see where I enter the world. Will it be outside my old place, on a street that doesn't exist (doubt it), or at the dead end of where things do exist? Could be someplace different entirely! That alone was worth the 20%
yes i did, i wish they would say if they are going to be available today or not, i stayed up all night for that house, for the 2nd time and its gone again, i'd like a little sleep too.
PA - you'd be in the second wave of highly-efficient testers if it was today. File the help ticket and kev will get the money back to you in super-slick-kev-style.
