#### Whimsical Wednesday - Houses Release 3

The game is now open! Check the new thread for feedback: http://www.glitch.com/forum/general/20792/
------
The game is currently closed until sometime Thursday morning, Pacific time. The conversion process is running slower than anticipated, and we want to make everything goes just right, so we will not be open until we are ready.
------
Good morning campers!
Today brings release 3 of the new housing system, marking a full reset of houses.
The game will be closed for a few hours while we perform the reset.
Do not be alarmed! Only houses are being reset.
After the reset is complete, your house will have been reset to the starter size, with no cultivated items and no furniture. Any upgraded furniture in your house or your furniture bag will be removed. You'll be given a small set of starter furniture in its place.
When you enter your new house after the reset, any items that you had in your old house or your testing house will have been moved into your new residence. Just unpack your moving boxes to get started.
A single moving box will contain multiple boxes for the old house, your test-house home street, test-house backyard and each floor of your test-house.
So that's what the reset entails, but what about new stuff? Well...
• Furniture can now be crafted by players. Get building!
‌• Your new houses will now have their own web page, linked from your profile. You'll be able to easily visit other people's home streets from there (as well as from their "info pane" in the game client).
• Once you've chosen/purchased a furniture upgrade, that choice is 'sticky'. If you upgrade a chair to style A, then switch it to style B, you'll later be able to switch back to style A at no cost. The same applies to your house chassis.
• The initial furniture we give you is soul-bound. This means you can't give it away to other players. Other items may gain this property in the future.
• Furniture can now be traded - either by using the 'give' verb, dragging it to another player or using the player-to-player trading system. You'll get an extra warning when you try to trade upgraded furniture. Auctions for furniture will be added in the near future.
• Furniture should no longer drop through the floor when you're placing it on your 2nd floor. Or your 3rd - houses can now be 3 floors tall.
• All street styles now have music.
• Furniture items all have their own web pages, as do the upgrades. You can browse and bookmark your perfect setup while you're waiting for the reset.
• The furniture bag is now sorted, to make finding your furniture easier. And it'll now be accessible anywhere in the world, to allow your to trade your items.
• The old houses are fading away. Visit the abandoned apartment blocks to reminisce.
There's probably some more stuff hidden in there too, so take a look around, kick the tires and lets us know what you think.
update #1: The housing FAQ has been updated.
update #2: The reset is taking longer than expected - the game will be closed until Thursday morning, pacific time. We are being EXTRA careful with the migration since no-one wants the movers to lose a single precious item.

- '"Are we there yet? ARE WE?!" - I'll turn this car around!'
  Mahaha - makes me think of a Simpson's commercial with the kids in the backseat, and Homer driving:
  "Are we there yet?"
  "No."
  "Are we there yet?"
  "No."
  "Are we there yet?"
  "No."

- Bees, re Lorraine ♪'s post above, I clicked the visit link on the old home street page: will this mean I'm teleported to her old street when I enter the world? My profile now says I am in her street (doesn't say which one). Will these old pages/old teleport links be deactived before game opens?
