  • Hey Michelle, you need to buy one :)
    You can check the realty listings here: alpha.glitch.com/realty/
    Once you've bought a house, you can visit it in-game, grow a garden, store your belongings etc. Have fun!

  • Here is a tip I learned the hard way, You get a free chick when you buy a house which you can pick up and feed. You need about 10 grain to make it grow up into a chicken, but if you are outside your house, you will drop the chicken on whatever map you are in.. so if you plan on keeping it, don't leave your house and feed it.

  • What happens when you sell your house? Does everything disappear, or will it show up at the next house you purchase?

  • You have to manually move all your items or else you lose them and the next person to own the house gets them. Your trophies will appear automatically in your next house.

  • Suggestion:
    I adore my home - but was sad to see that when I sought refuge in it to rest - I DIED......
    I really thought that you could be in your home and inactive and NOT die................ May I suggest that home be a safe place - free of the punishment and grape stomping. Now I have the little pile of white roses with my name on it in my yard... RIP lovely...............
    Please Glitch consider a "safe" house ... Thank you

  • Pekes I disagree regarding safe-house, as players would be able to work-on all kinds of projects without having to deal with replenishing their energy - which seems counter-intuitive. 

    re: the RIP, maybe if you asked a dev they would be so kind as to remove it from your property. :)

  • I thought the roses and cross disappear eventually.. no?

  • Yes, the marker will be gone by the next test.  The only way to "rest" without losing energy is to sign off.

  • Pekes, I also though it odd when I 1st got a house, but now realise why it is like it is.  However, I think maybe we should not lose energy/mood if it we go to AFK;)  Not that 'dying' is a biggy and you do get an award for it the more it happens!  Just that sometimes going AFk is unavoidable. ;)

  • I died especially in my garden so I would come back there.  It was funny because I died jumping up and down, so the memorial was in a tree!  I am easily amused! ;-) !

  • Yup, only died once so far and also in my garden.  Was kind of sweet seeing my little marker popping up amongst the onions and cukes!  Was a good harvest too!;)

  • You guys are hilarious OK so dying in one's garden is a feat........... Nowhere to go to "rest" unless you sign out - OK I get it.........as for the marker it is pretty - in a tree hum!!!!
    hee hee!!!! Next time I will sign out............... Have a great one ..Pekes

  • Is there a way to give special access to someone especific and I mean "Certain Someone is on your house" instead of "Certain someone's hand is bleeding from knocking your door, would you please let her in?"
    Or maybe sharing a house? Because I'd like that, maybe a spare key? And yes, I know that could lead to item-stealing but, aw, there's people you know IRL or so, who you can hit for taking away your supplies that should have the chance to try and do it.

  • Co-habitation?  Living over the broom?  You will be asking for equal rights for common law partners next!  Harumph!  Be a stand up lonely person like the rest of us.  

    on second thoughts - shared accommodation could be cool - perhaps linked doors from one property to another :)

  • I don't think you should lose mood and energy when AFK in your house either, I got stuck on a phone call and was quite surprised to come back and find myself dead since I'd purposely teleported home thinking that was "safe space".

    Maybe this is just carryover from other virtual worlds/games, but I bet lots of people will have that assumption.

  • Fleep, see above where we wanted to die at home! 

    +1 for sharing houses, or allowing certain others automatic entry.

  • Fleep - the other carry over from other games is the fear of death. Death has a set of achievements to itself. Personally I *try* to die in the comfort of my own home... at least once a day. Then I know where the marker is.

    The only 'safe' place is to log out, which takes no time at all. I think the energy/mood loss is slightly less significant when you are AFK, but you still die. The devs do it all the time (look for their sunny faces on the platform). 

    Houses are probably one of the most questioned and discussed topics. Give the forums a search for loads of how-to's, ideas, and discussions.
