#### Group Halls Forecast?

During beta everyone was simultaneously annoyed and grateful for the 'when will it open?' threads. Mostly because they usually got an answer.
Group halls are a FEATURE, completely different and a lot more subject to variability. Keeping that in mind do you devs have any sort of rough estimate you can give us as to the time frame?
Stoot has said, and I'm paraphrasing here, that house customization is super complex and we won't be disappointed if we expect it in 2012. So, what similar sort of wonderfully cryptic warning can the devs offer about Halls?
Out in November? December? By the end of 2011? Any of those estimates would be wonderful. :)
Just a glitch dying to know more. :)

- Can someone explain what a group hall is? Is it just a theoretical concept, or did they exist in some real form during beta?

- They existed at the very end of the last test before reset. They were more like streets I think. Glitch Addicts (hope I am remembering right) has an article about it with some pictures.
  I think stoot said group halls were second on the list in the post he gave with a loose outline of the order they're looking at things at this time. First or second and the decorating was third (because of its massiveness).
  I don't recall too much of a timeline given for any one thing though, other than what you stated for the decorating (though in this other thread he hinted that we -might- see decorating before the end of the year, so my guess is anywhere between Dec-Mar at earliest on it). I'd suppose that group halls would come in the next month or two, if things go how they want and fall together and whatnot.
  Of course... dev input is always better than player speculation (especially my silly speculation). ;)

- Aww, but I appreciate your speculation. :P It's fun to spitball. Though I would certainly appreciate some dev comments. :)

- Right you are. It was Glitch Addict. And here's the link.
  Complete with video (love the Benny Hill music, btw)

- All of this sounds so wonderful and exciting!
  But I wish the devs were also working on things like pets and giving us new wearable items, like headphones (can't wear the ones I stole from the crab, drat!) and shoes (high heels please?) and alpacas / goats / sheep and new skills for yarn-spinning and crafting wearables........ and and and lol....
  Still I think the housing thing will be amazingly awesome when they come out.
  :: Cheers on devs ::
