Wonderful Wednesday - Introducing Towers!

Update 1: new towers are suspended while we work out some kinks. Sorry!
Update 2: issue is fixed for new towers, we're fixing up the ones that failed now
Update 3: Wine of the Dead should now be working correctly for everyone

If you head to your home street you'll find a new choice in the cultivation menu; the Tower. Each player can build a single tower on their home street (once they reach level 18), although the process is pretty expensive.

Once built, towers can be decorated just like your house, but visitors to your home street can enter them. Whether you're looking to sell items through vendor SDBs, tell a story, showcase your favorite rare items or just show off your decorating skills, towers are a good place to do it. If you need more space, just build another floor (up to 9 for now).

If you're high enough level and have the materials handy, give it a go and let us know how you get on. Comments, bugs etc should be posted in this thread.

  • Grackle, not sure how big your street is or if it matters, but the tower can fit in the space between the street sign and your home.  For me, I just killed the tree there.

  • The 'lack-of-door-once-built' and 'shovel-not-again' bugs? XDD
    (not building one any time soon, but these two bugs are hilarious...)

  • How is the owner supposed to change the physical appearance of the tower?  There doesn't seem to be any mechanism for that.

  • Tower! :)

  • Well, guess I'll be expanding my street so I can decide where I want my future tower! Very future. On the cost: considering how many people were wondering what to do with all their iMG besides by reshuffles and the like, I'd think at least some people will be happy to have a big iMG sink!

  • NOT REMOVEABLE even with wine of the dead???  Just NOT?  
    (sorry for shouting...)

  • I built mine but .. no door and no option to add more stories.
    Posted 5 months ago by Vocable Subscriber! | Permalink
  • At least you can move it with Nudgery. I was really risking that option.

  • we've just disabled tower building while we fix the can't-enter-my-tower issue. hopefully wont take too long

    edit: this is also why you can't customize your newly-built towers currently. should be fixed shortly

  • glum pudding: They'd click on the tower and choose "customize".

    oscarette: NO, YOU CAN'T RIGHT NOW.

  • same issue here-unable to customize. the structure is not clickable (nor was it before tower building was turned off)
    Posted 5 months ago by Soupie♨ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Here's another bug, perhaps?  I see this but Vocable sees this.  We are standing in the same place, theoretically looking at the same thing.  Also, she can move the tower around but doesn't get a "customize" verb.

  • Those who have towers: please post snaps!  Thank you.
    Posted 5 months ago by Miss Bobbit Subscriber! | Permalink
  • With all the respect possible - how did they get this far without anyone being able to get inside?
    Posted 5 months ago by WalruZ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • She reloaded and now sees the "customize" verb.  Yay!
    Posted 5 months ago by glum pudding Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Haze: the price was not meant to scale with the other cultivated items. It is a fixed 20k iMG now.

    Anyone who paid more than 20k iMG for their tower: open a ticket and we'll refund it.

  • WalruZ: assuming you meant, "how did they get released if you couldn't get inside?" — this is something that only showed up in production. They've been working in the development environment for a long time :)
    Posted 5 months ago by stoot barfield Subscriber! | Permalink
  • WalruZ: not all of the feature got deployed correctly
    Posted 5 months ago by Bees! Subscriber! | Permalink
  • oh sweet!  a refund!
    Posted 5 months ago by 'Zad the Destroyer Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Can anyone say yet if the tower will fit into the space between signpost and house? I'd like not to poison the tree there if it turns out the tower won't fit.
    Posted 5 months ago by Not a Princess Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Not a Princess, yes it will fit there.
    Posted 5 months ago by Anaquana Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Awesome, thanks! Alas, poor tree...
    Posted 5 months ago by Not a Princess Subscriber! | Permalink
  • okay..I have no idea how to get my link up but the tower is up and just click on my name and visit my street that way if you know how lol  this is so bloody cool!
    Posted 5 months ago by ~Arabesque~ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I got a customize verb after reloading. But I still can't get inside.
    Posted 5 months ago by Vocable Subscriber! | Permalink
  • :) thanks, butterfeels.  i will be vewy quiet now.
    Posted 5 months ago by oscarette Subscriber! | Permalink
  • lol... 167K iMG was too much... :)
    Posted 5 months ago by UXRoot Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ok, towers can be cultivated once again. The base cost is fixed to 20k iMG.

    We're working on fixing the first 16 towers that broke during construction.
    Posted 5 months ago by Bees! Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I can get in! (I think... I was reloaded in the game, then I came over, pressed Enter only that made me refresh...)
    Posted 5 months ago by Palindrome Subscriber! | Permalink
  • should the ace of spades be able to be used? I only see the basic shovel to construct it.

    bored no more: a known bug, we're working on it
    Posted 5 months ago by Bees! Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Can you move towers once you place them?
    Posted 5 months ago by g33kgurrl Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I just finished building one: http://www.glitch.com/locations/LHVNFI4CJ1V2E9R/

  • Was hoping the outside would get bigger once a floor has been added, is this something to be added one day?

    Also whats the purpose of the tower? Basically a second house? 
    Posted 5 months ago by MonkeyPantz Subscriber! | Permalink
  • g33kgurrl: yes, with nudgery
    Posted 5 months ago by Bees! Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thanks Bees! 

    I guess it just doesn't work during "Project" phase, eh?
    Posted 5 months ago by g33kgurrl Subscriber! | Permalink
  • MonkeyPantz: the outside does expand as your tower expands. you don't have one though, so i'm not sure if you're erporting a bug, or if that was a question?
    Posted 5 months ago by Bees! Subscriber! | Permalink
  • g33kgurrl: Ahh, yes. same as other cultivated items I believe
    Posted 5 months ago by Bees! Subscriber! | Permalink
  • You rock. Thanks.

    Off to burn currants and iMG. 
    Posted 5 months ago by g33kgurrl Subscriber! | Permalink
  • And, done!  http://www.glitch.com/locations/LHV8FER7J1V2CM5/

  • I'm not getting the Tower option. Is this just me? I'll report it as a bug.
    Posted 5 months ago by ElleD Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I'm level 37.
    Posted 5 months ago by ElleD Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Hey Bees! Thanks for your answer. I am at Moucri place and she has added one floor, however, the tower looks like one floor, maybe when another is being added its more obvious, but thats very cool thanks!

  • Any chance we can assign a level of our tower to a friend so they can modify and change it ? Basically, have them move in ?
