Anyone Else Live and Love Bortola?

So, I sold my house, and moved into Bortola, and I think it's well worth it. Sadly, no piggy pen, but I let them roam in my house anyways. The only bad side, I left my chick in my old apartment. :P But, nonetheless, I have a bunch of money left over. I'm planting a couple Spice Trees in my backyard, and planting rice and such. I love the house I got! If anyone else lives in the 4300 block of Ukon Cognate Quarter, come and visit me! :) I'd gladly help someone out if needed. Still going out and bringing back wild piggies, so I might be busy. :c Just knock on my door and see what happens!

  • The video game ones cost around 10-15K and have mushrooms in front of them

  • Yes, the cottages do seem to attract people from all over - they're very popular.
    And Bortola is a great location - good mix of stuff around, subway, close to the new regions and the Ancestral Lands.
    Personally I moved from a cottage in Groddle Meadow to a Bortola cottage in Rikki Regard. I'm sold on cottages! I had a 50K mansion once before and they're fabulous for gardening and the pen was great... but so big and bare. 

    If you have the Animal Husbandry skill, you can raise your own piggies rather than capturing others. From eggs... naturally.

  • I have that skill. Just not the ingredients to season them! xD I just capture them.

  • I have a log house 4200 currants. I love the cottage style one with almost hooks coming out of it. So pretty. *o*

  • I live in Mien Evoke and I love it, now. During beta, I lived in Pasha Quarter and thought for sure I'd buy another house in Groddle Forest. The large amount of people in the area and the want to try something new, combined with my lack of funds, sent me to Bortola. I hated it at first. I sold my first home in the 3200 block of Mien Evoke, thinking I'd buy a house anywhere else. Then as I started looking at what was available and my habits, I realized that Mien Evoke was the perfect location for me. 

    So, my 2nd house is on the 2500 block of Mien Evoke. I love that the subway is nearby, so are Gardening and Produce vendors. It's easy to walk to the caves or Alakol to mine and the Ancestral Lands are right there.

    Posted 14 months ago by Jodeik Subscriber! | Permalink
  • erm, think it was 10k, cant remember tbh;p a good deal i think:)
    (3 patches/12 plots, guess that the 10k one?)

  • The 10k ones have red mushrooms out front. The 15k ones have green shrooms.

  • Ahh, red mushrooms it is:)

  • I have a cottage in the 2500 block of Ukon Cognate. I love it here and I have lived all over the map. You can visit me anytime too.

  • I hope by "going out and bringing back wild piggies" you didn't mean visiting 1100 block.  I've hatched 3 piggies for the block and not a single one remains.  Thankfully the chicken and 3 butterflies I also hatched can't be stolen.  I'm done trying to do something nice for the block.

  • I moved into the 1500 block of Ukon Cognate. I've got one of the nautical theme cottages. Love it. The first place I bought was in Bortola, then I bought in Bessara. I'm now back in Bortola. There's a nice mix of resources here or close by, and I like having a subway station close by. Well worth the 10,000 currants, I think.

  • @Joojoo. What a nice gesture with the chicken and butterflies! I'm going to do the same for my block. :)

  • I have a wee log cabin in the 1400 block of Savi Sense. I'm gonna tend to it while I level up and get rich, and I think I'll stay in Bortola when I move!

  • I recently moved into a 15k house in 1300 Ukon Cognate. We have a wood tree and a couple of piggies (no killing/stealing!). There was only 1 house left here last I checked; maybe now the block is full. I love Bortola, it was my start point and I love the whole continent it's on.

  • 4400 block of Ukon Cognate here! There's a Bortola Homeowners' Association in Groups, in case you'd like to check it out.

  • I bought my place in Savi Sense just for the patches, but now Im all in love with my big back yard with the mountain forest vista!

  • I love Bortola!!  I lived there in beta and couldn't wait to go back.  I have an early Nintendo furnished house with 5 patches which to me is just perfect!!!!!  The location is good for now but let's see what happens as the world  e x p a n d s............  Of course there is always tele tokens and the subway but I seriously would need an exceptionally different house to leave my cottage.  More patches might snag my interest:)

  • I just moved to Bortola from Muufo because I wanted more stuff in my backyard, and I'm really enjoying it so far. I planted a fruit tree in the 3300 block of Ukon Cognate, and I'll probably be putting out some piggies and such soon!

    Yay neighbors!

  • I lived in Mien Evoke for a month and a half or so during beta. The first month or two I lived in Marrakesh Meadow (since Bortola didn't exist then), and the last two or three weeks, I lived in Salatu in a 50k, just to try it out.

    I moved back right to Mien Evoke after they first opened after reset (first on my block :D). I suppose it took me 5 or 6 hours of my nose to the grindstone to earn the 15k, but it was worth it. Got the perfect house and location for me.

  • I've moved from Muufo to Bortola as well. I live in 1400 block in Ukon Cognate. I was thinking of doing the same with piggies and such. I planted a fruit tree in the patch on the block too. My house is next to the tree. Anyone can come visit me too :) Would like to get to know some neighbors!

  • I was in Tamila before (first an apartment tower, then a treehouse). Too dark and depressing and I disliked taking elevators and climbing ladders. I'm at home a lot, lol. I just got a sweet little cottage in Ukon Cognate and love the views! Nice yard. I like it a lot. The only thing that would make it better would be if I could grow herbs. No biggie, though! :)

  • I LOVE Bortola!  I have a 15k cottage for the tree patches.  It's convenient (have to have a subway :) ) and the view is wonderful.  I've lived in several different areas but am very  happy here.

  • I got a house at Rikki Regard 2400s and love it. My previous house was also in Bortola, which, for me, is the optimal place - although I also love the firebogs. If only I could have a mix of both gardens, with herbs and veggies, I'd be extatic.

  • If we all adds animals to our blocks, does it mean we can get access to a nice supply of raw food material without leaving the building? :)
