Housing Rush strikes again...

I had been looking at a few of the nicer houses in the Fire Swamps for a while, but was putting off purchasing one until I knew I had completed all of the quests that are easier done with access to lit gardens.  But when I went to check on houses in the Swamps... all of the nice ones were sold! :(  Can we expect additional larger houses to be added to the areas any time soon?

  • I'm sure they'll add houses in as demands rise. They've recently been adding a lot of cottages in Bortola to handle that demand. I know several of the quarters in Kalavana and the like have room for new blocks. 

    Keep a close eye on it! The devs watch the forums closely, so I wouldn't be surprised to see some in the near future.

  • They always open new Quarter Blocks when demand strikes. I remember in Beta they used to sneak them in especially when the Alakol homes were first released. Just keep an eye on the Realty Listings, one should pop up eventually.

  • I live in Besara and was going to buy a bigger home but everything here is sold.

  • Yeah, adding in my request/vote for more houses. Meadow homes in particular, or something new and bigger. I can afford the big modern ones now, but they're too depressing! Maybe if they were on a beach with palmtrees...

    On a related note, I will be vacating my lovely place in Chakra Pool for this, if you're interested in it. I could always snag another place inbetween. It's a 7,500 currant one, comes with a bunch of animals and some leftover stuff that I can't carry with me. Should be ready to move out tomorrow morning, just need to finish the pesky egg plant quest. It's Ounaas Means 4400 if you wanna check it out, I'm on for another hour.

  • Grr, I just hit 50k after power-mining for the last two weeks.  Guess what?  ALL GONE!

    (Sigh)

    Guess I'll hang onto it and see if they open up...bummer, though.

  • For myself and everyone's interest I went to check out the situation within the Realty Listing and within Glitch also. What I gathered is actually quite mind-blowing and shows a definite rise in demand for homes within Glitch.

    -Besara, there is only at this current time 1 apartment avaliable.
    -Bortola, Same types of houses and all for the same price.
    -Chakra Phool, I can see there is a demand for 7.5k Firebog homes and only homes avaliable for 3.5k and 5k.
    -Jethimadh, No avaliable 7.5k Firebog homes.
    -Kajuu, Has a great range at the moment but is short of 50k homes.
    -Kalavana, Also no avaliable 7.5k Firebog homes.
    -Muufo, Treetop and Cave houses avaliable but only for 4k.
    All other areas with Ur have no real estate listings.

  • The Muufo cave houses are only available in 4k. They're the kinds that includes a dark patch. The ones in Andra and Kajuu are the ones with different prices. I also thinks tree houses are only available in 4k, but not sure on that.

  • I was looking to buy one of the Asian style type homes in Bortola and there was tons! Now I'm ready to finally move into one and there is not a single one left. In fact, there really isn't much left for choices. Most of the regions are sold out.
    This doesn't seem fun to me.

  • there are definitely too few 7,5k firebogs!

  • There's some new 50k houses up in Salatu today, FYI!
    Posted 14 months ago by Gant Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yep, some 30k/50k houses just popped up next to me today in Dhab Habit. Come over to Salatu - its the place to be.

  • This is ridculous!!! Is this how it's going to be? I wanted to experience the different houses as I moved up in the game. I'm totally ready to move as a part of my game play. My hubby plays too and I'd like him to move next to me. This is impossible at the moment.

    I'd love to hear from staff on this subject. Please enlighten me.

  • Yeah I'm sort of just spending all my Glitchy time refreshing the realty page, and it's only been little over a day of that, but already I'm sick of it. And I hate people who say "I hate to be whiny, BUT", BUT ... Please? Can has moar houses?

  • Oooooohhhh lack of housing should drive up prices. :-)  Would be fun to list and set pricing etc.

  • I'd love to see even bigger houses in the boggy areas. I love the swamps, but all the big houses that I've seen (those in the 30-50k range) are in unswampy areas.

  • This is the first subject I have really bitched about. I ignored the tree wars, but this? I cannot stand and say nothing. I've been looking all day and there is zero houses that I want to purchase.

    Please staff, give me something to hope for????

  • Eye is happy now!  Thank you so much, Glitch, for your fast response in housing. I moved into one of the new ones that opened up in Bortola. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

  • Gratitude party over here too, thanks so much for putting in new houses! Woke up to a shiny page full of houses and snagged me an Asian style one on Venet Root just now. Thank you devs! <3

  • Hey folks, when you are looking for houses, the greasemonkey Sorted Realty plugin makes searching for the house in the price range you want a breeze.  It helped me out immensely. =)

  • TS does it again!:)

  • That script is awesome, nosferatu, but for some reason several of the options get obscured by the first housing listing, so they're difficult to click on without getting directed to the first house.
