Need more 15k Cottages!

You guys are probably tired of me posting about this just as much as I am tired of refreshing the realty page!

Its getting very disappointing that I cant get the house that I worked so hard to save up for. And camping the page isn't working for me either. I could get a 50k house but I really do just love the cottages. If there was a 50k version of one I would be all over it.

So heres my plea.. Glitch please put more cottages up for sale or someone just sell me theirs.  It would really make my day! :D

  • Actually right as I posted this I refreshed the realty page one more time and got one finally! But still! more cottages are needed! no one should have to go through what I have! I can finally make my lil glitch look cute again instead of stressed out! lol

  • i think they want to make houses that suit each unique area, instead of having millions of meadow houses scattered throughout Ur. it would be a little silly to see meadow houses in the firebogs, after all. and if they put too many housing quarters in groddle meadow, it'll get quite laggy, since we're all playing on the same server.

  • I wish there were more cottage-style houses, that fit a different area's house, in different areas.  

    I loved my cottage, but the meadow area was really just not my cup of tea.  I would really want something with a similar footprint (small-ish, large yard, 12 or 16 plots and 5 patches, no pen) and more decor than the 30-50k houses in the Alakol or Salatu areas.  I really love the views in my current Salatu house, but I miss the coziness and non-white-ness of my Meadow house...

  • I know that where my house is, in Buckward Vale, it still has two empty spots for new streets in the sign. I don't know about other housing areas but to me it seems like there is still room for at least a few more :)

    I agree that some more houses that are similar but with a different design for different areaswould be great though.

  • Two empty spots on the sign doesn't mean they will put a street of houses there.  The housing blocks become congestion points if too many glitchies are coming and going through the streets that contain them.

    What we really need are more mixed-income neighborhoods.  Everything right now is either a 30-50K area, a 5-15K area, or cheap apartment blocks.  Income segregation isn't a good thing.

  • I've just about saved up enough to move to a big house, but I'm hesitating because I really kind of like the Mien Evoke community. Almost all the blocks have community pigs/chickens/butterflies.  I looked at the High-end housing locations and there are no community animals on the streets.

    I was lucky to grab a little cottage right when they opened up a bunch more, but I was only able to afford the smallest one. I really want more planting locations.

  • I would assume that as the map is expanded and new regions are added, there will be more meadow regions and more cottages in those regions. The game is having some difficulty scaling to the sudden surge of new players right now, it should even out with time.

  • Wouldn't it be cool to be able to design your own home (from predesignated units, perhaps)?

  • Dev comment on designing/customizing homes: www.glitch.com/forum/genera...

    "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!" --Stoot Barfield

  • Totally with you here.  I'd looooove a 15k Chakra Phool house.  I love the area, I love the designs, I just don't love the limited resources. =(  I've moved from Alakol back to Chakra (4th move) because there was a property in the Meadows available... gone by the time I sold my house.  =(  Sign me up, please!

  • They should make some Ix housing. I want to live in a giant fruit!

  • I'm with you here!  I've had 2 15k cottages, a 4k tree house and a 50k house in Salatu.  My absolute ideal would be a 15k cottage with a pen, 5 tree patches, 16 garden plots, 32 slot cabinet and maybe  the option to expand to either a second floor or a cellar (where I could grow an egg plant!)

  • I'd buy a 30k or 50k cottage if they existed. They don't exist, right?

  • It seems the cottage style houses are consistently sold out.  Yes, more streets need to be added (even if it is for the current housing areas), and yes more areas for these houses should be considered.  I think they'd fit in just fine in Besara, and Tamila, since there are some already in Bortola. They truly are the cutest style house in the game, IMO.  I like the firebog houses too, but for different reasons.

    And yes, it will be nice once we get the ability to decorate our homes..but since we don't have it yet, I have to agree with the OP that more cottage house streets are needed in game (and hopefully not necessarily in the overcrowded meadows).

  • I gave up and bought a 50K house.  I'd totally sell it and buy a 50K Chakra Pool swamp house though.

    If I could have my ideal it would be a swamp house outdoor garden plot with 12 spots and a couple patches and an animal pen.  Then 12 herb spots, barnacles, fireflies, and a dark patch indoors.  Best of both worlds!  I'd save lots of currants for that!

  • Lucille Ball: that is *exactly* the set up I would love. =)  You could even carve a skylight in where a sun patch would stream in to let you have a regular tree inside. =)

  • i'd like to see dark patches stay outdoors in the bogs, since the yards are underground. maybe a greenhouse add-on for those that want to grow regular crops? also, i'd personally love the option of a big yard with NO animal pen. i prefer to let my animals roam free in the yard, but they definitely need a bigger yard to do that in. i wouldn't care how many rooms were in the house since they do nothing as of yet, but maybe when rooms serve some function, having more would make sense.

  • I'd also love a bigger/more expensive swamp house. My current one has fireflies, barnacles, herb plots and a dark patch. But I'm kinda greedy, so I'd love to have some jellisac spots too, and maybe even a peat bog (and hey, non-swamp places could have a dirt patch option?). A larger yard would be lovely. And if other places get a chance to pop in cellars for dark patches and herbs, maybe the swamps could pop in rooftop gardens for non-dark patches and crops.

  • Desdemona: I know!  I loved having my animals running free, and they never ate my crops or caused trouble.  I now spend most of my time in my house in the pen with them, as my piggies and chickens and butterflies are my favorite part of owning a home.  I ended up with a 50K house just because of the location (I really love the views, and how it's not often crowded in surrounding streets).

    Scooter: But you can capture (or hatch) piggies and set the loose on your street!  Same for chickens and butterflies.  You can plant trees if there are patches... The 30-50K areas I saw just didn't have a lot of people around.  I'm sure that once people move in, there will be an uptick in community animals (at least, someone already set loose a piggy in my area, and I'm planning on hatching a chicken and butterfly in there once I get back in game).

  • I had a 50k house in beta, which i got after having a cottage, and hated it. It was depressing, far from everything, and it took too long to do the gardening, to the point that it was tedious. I jumped for a 15k right away after the reset and have been loving it. Good luck to everyone trying to find one, and hit me up if you are in Estevan Meadows, you could come on over and hang out!

  • I have upped the cosiness factor of my 50k house by hatching plenty of piggies and chickens on every floor. My glitch is of peasant stock, and all that empty space was doing it's poor little head in. I like to feed the piggies and leave their poop littering the floor, for a more authentic look, though I do scuttle round tidying it away if guests are expected.

    I just hope that nobody grasses me up to the bureaucrocs, I must be in violation of umpteen environmental health and local planning laws.
