There's only one more "50,000" house left in Alakol

Assuming I'm not mistaken.
I wonder if there will be more expensive options available before the next wipe.

I often read that some users feel like they have too many currants, and nothing to spend them on.
(Not everyone feels this way, but that's just a recurring thought that I keep seeing here.)
Not that it really matters... since it will all go *poof* eventually.

Anyway, yeah. So just one more 50k home left for sale.
(Yes, I found this fact interesting enough to post about it here. Don't mind me. xD)

  • They'll probably add some more. When they sold out of big houses the last time, they opened up some more. I was lucky, I saved up enough to get a big house and there were none, the next day there were suddenly new blocks of them, so I didn't have long to wait. 
    I think (although could be wrong) that the big ones that were up for sale yesterday, and still one available today, could be from people selling up. I know there was a mini-rush to get on over to Shimla Mirch for the herb garden plots.  
    Will take more than herbs to get me out of Alakol though :)  

    I always have plenty of things to spend my currants on. I don't understand people who say they don't have anything to spend on. 
    If that was the case, why aren't auctions completely bare. lol

    I'm sure it would be possible for a handful of higher level players to get together and quickly strip the auctions bare - it's just that there's no point in doing so (although now I've said that, I wouldn't be surprised to see somebody give it a go "just because they can") - you just end up with a ton of stuff you don't want.

  • That one 50K house in Alakol is one more than was there at the end of the last test on 6/26.

    At end of test there were 12 30K houses and nothing else.

    I'm guessing that someone sold once they read about the ability to plant herbs in the houses in Shimla Mirch and am curious to see if there is more movement in that direction now.

  • More 50k homes were released in Alakol this last test.  No reason to believe that we won't continue to see more, since not all the quarter blocks are open there yet.

    Also, looks like there will be 50k homes in Kajuu soon, so I wouldn't sweat it.

  • 100K homes in Uralia perhaps (ok, I will stop begging for houses in Uralia) :-)

  • I know I got my 50k house second hand.  I'm pretty sure the 50k one that's on there now is the same.   I spent pretty much the last test round earning enough money to buy one, and just kept refreshing the realty page every once in a while until one became available :)

  • A lot of people are going to be moving to the swamps this next test too (herb gardens, yo!), so expect a lot of Alakol properties to become available.

  • Aw... the Kajuu houses look like the Alakol houses. I was expecting something different.

    I'd love to see a rambling ranch house or something somewhere. Any kind of larger house that isn't so modern and sterile. I mean those houses are nice, but kinda blah for me on a personal level.

    I'd love a larger version of my little Groddle Meadows home with the easel and clean, elegant style.

  • I'm disappointed in the Kajuu houses as well. too sterile indeed, little miss giggles.

  • stoot did say a little while ago that there would be no new house designs until after beta...

  • Well, then that is a post I missed.

    I didn't really expect more housing this time around, but when I heard Kajuu was going to get some (didn't expect it necessarily put in this round either), I figured it would look a bit different.

    I know they're going to do a lot with housing and customization and all in the future, and I'm excited about it. I just expressed my initial disappointment after taking a peek at that housing area.

  • I do think the Alokol houses look a bit out of place in Kajuu.

    But if there won't be new house designs until after beta then I suppose that's the way it's gonna be, lol.

    But for future reference, I think one of those homes that's built into the side of a cliff or mountain would be really cool in settings that are more desert-like or mountainous.
