Housing streets really gone for good...

My teleport no longer works. Small tear. I loved visiting you while all the houses were for sale and the 9 chickens and 9 butterflies roamed free. Viva Konkan Carom housing street!

(Please don't take the vendors away. I love seeing them on the streets.)

  • It's too bad they're removing content. I think it would be better to have them fall into ruin, perhaps slowing being reclaimed into a barren area like the AL.

  • The large Alakol model home is still there.  Please, TS, could you use Janitch's idea and have it gradually crumble and become overgrown with weeds? Not all at once like the apartments, but a little at a time. It would be so cool, maybe some artist has a little spare time (ha!) to take this on as a special project.

  • I agree with what the others have said.. I don't think removing content entirely is the way this game should go.  Also I really  like vendors.  You can't always find a player willing to sell something at a reasonable price, that you need.

    I also don't like the penalties imposed on the auction house because that's the easiest *IMO* way to buy from other players.. the 10 minute wait is excrutiating at times.

    I really love the idea of having certain areas fall into disrepair, like the apartments have, and have them repurposed... Like, I was reading someone's post that said there are hidden community gardens in some of the old apartments.  That strikes me as SO rad and innovative.  :)  When I was new to the game I remember exploring the Jedimadh tower and finding that one locked room that was a tiny community garden (with THE. COOLEST. WALLPAPER. EVER) and drinks scattered around and just being so incredibly thrilled and excited.  :3

    We need more of these places please. <3  And I don't want to see ALL the vendors gone.. just.. some of them maybe.. like maybe not on EVERY single street?  If you HAVE to get rid of them that is.. but if you don't HAVE to.. which I cannot see a reason why you would NEED to get rid of them.. please re-consider us losing them and decide instead to keep them in the game.  OK I have said my piece. <3

  • The loss of the housing blocks is the one change that I have real reservations about. I love the customizable houses and yards, but just speaking for myself... I'd much rather cede a tiny bit of customization (the obvious stuff like front yard backgrounds) and have a smaller front yard in order to have a sense of being part of a place and a community. I miss being "from" Groddle! 

    (DISCLAIMER: I cannot stress enough that this in no way means that I'm down on the housing changes taken as a whole--quite to the contrary! Free teleports home? GOOD STUFF! My massive, massive front yard? Believe me, I use it. The ability to do things like plop a Groddle cottage in a firebog? Love it. I appreciate that any major change like this is bound to involve tradeoffs, I respect TS's choice, and I happily function within the new system. I'm just saying, on this subject, my mood's at 95% rather than 100%.)

  • The Cat Face just showed me how the doors are gone to his old apt building in Shimla. Sigh. Maybe those could just get turned into windows?
