Realty Standstill

So, I spent all of my spare time over the last week and an half to save up to afford a better home, one in which I could expand, grow more crops, and have a few more animals to keep me company. I was so excited about this that I sold my old home to get myself to my goal. This lack of foresight is, of course, my own mistake, however what made it a mistake is the complete lack of accommodations in Ur. Where have all the mansions gone? I strongly suspect some sort of land grab has been going on, but then again I have been eating too many bubbles, and we all know that makes a glitch paranoid.

I will remain homeless, as a stupid form of protest, until the situation improves. If there is a charitable glitch out there who is willing to sell me a nice mansion, feel free to get in touch with me.

If the giants have anything to say about it, I'd appreciate knowing what they have in mind for our future.

Your humble glitch,

  • They've been adding new housing quarters pretty often, and it sure looks like more mansions should be next, followed by cottages.

    There couldn't be a "land grab", inasmuch as each glitch can only own one home.  What has been going on is a combination of overall population growth and upward mobility.  A little while ago, the cheap stuff was all sold out, now a fair bit of that is available but the mansions are gone.

  • I haven't sold my starter home yet, but since I've worked hard to get more currants am anxiously awaiting the opening of either the 15K cottages or 50K mansions. I wish I knew how much we will be able to change our homes once we get the ability to customize, but like anything else w/Glitch it will be exciting when it happens.

  • Even if someone wanted to sell you a mansion, there would be no way to guarantee you'd get to buy it. :/ Once the house goes up for sale, it's up for grabs to the public, and with so many people looking for the pricier housing, it's kind of up to chance.

  • I appreciate the comments. Myuki, you are wise, and likely correct. Fnibbit, still the paranoia sets in. Glitches with multiple personalities keeping more than one house for themselves is potentially possible, my bubble tree says so. Though, he also speaks to me of tin hats and wire taps.

    Let's hope the giants think up more mansions quickly. I'm waiting.

  • Oh I would love to own one of those 15K cottages. Or if they can come up with a larger version of the tree house, that would be nice too.

    I, too, wish there could be more options for large homes.
