Housing Update (and why it drives me nuts!)

This is to let you know that as an officer team we have had several meetings to discuss FC housing.  Unfortunately , due to the patchy and elusive info provided to us so far, it has been like herding cats to try to formulate a plan.  This is why nothing concrete has been posted, which I apologise for sincerely!

We start our meetings off well and decide to start at the beginning, choosing an area in which to settle. (Seems to follow logic, right!) But none of our players are able to see the finished housing tour vids of the three areas...so how can they vote if they have not seen the end product???...So we shelve that idea and place it in the "awaiting further info pile". Voting pending.

Then we move to the next order of business: how much money we need to invest, and how we split that fairly between players?  Again SE thwarts our endeavours, you guessed it, we shelve the price issue and place it in the "awaiting further info pile". Price determination pending.

We get a little tricky and think, ok, we could maybe look at the size and positioning of the house....but without plot maps and prices, we cannot get an accurate idea of what we are dealing with....and once again the "awaiting further info" pile gets another item added. Plot location and size pending.

Looking to the positives we do have two things on the "decided" pile: we will have a house for Echoes FC, and those who wish to help us buy the house will have control over how the house is decorated and the furniture we put in it.  The rank for this is all set up ready and waiting.  (I just had to get ONE thing ticked off the list!!!)

I thought I would give you all an insight into the process, and let you know we are eager to nail definites and reduce our conjecture and pending pile of "if, buts and maybes" as soon as possible! I want definites and ticks on my list!!!!! It is what I do!!!!

For this reason we will start the voting with what we have, and add info as it happens.  This leaves a very short lead time before the patch, and reduces our scope for input from all of you.  I wanted to discuss this for weeks and be sure everyone had a say.

Keep your eyes on the forums in the days leading up to the patch, because we may have to make last minute posts so you can add your two cents. 

Please understand that we realllly want to move forward on this.  Yoshi P has other ideas and is leaving us in perpetual housing limbo...hopefully resolved soon after the next live letter on 14 December!!!!

Thank you for your continued patience and understanding!

Thanks for all the hard work guys.  Truly, I don't see how there can be a "wrong" decision, unless there's rent and we buy more than we can afford to maintain.  This should be a fun thing.   Always :)

I agree with Twilah. ThHere is no wrong answer. There is 3 areas to put the house and we get what we can get in each zone at the time we want to do it.

If those who don't win the vote are disappointed about the location that is chosen, it isn't the end of the world: There will be personal housing in the major patch after it and hence we can live anywhere! :)

All I care about at present is the house so we can help the FC flourish in its new confines!

I agree with Valtryian and Twilah but not Jay or Hex. Wait, I mean I agree with Hex but not Valtryian or Jay and only sort of with Twilah. Wait.... lemme get back to you on this!

 

Actually, it all sounds good to me!

Well I'm up for anything now that I can finally sit down and get some play time in since they've stopped doing maintenance at 11pm my time XD

As with everyone else, I don't think there will be a right or wrong answer. Just let me know where to toss my gill lol.

If you meet yourself on the testing track, don't make eye contact. Lab boys tell me that'll wipe out time. Entirely.

I'm easy to please.  I know it will work and I got MONEY and crafting time to throw at it.  Bring it on!  We'll make it cool no matter how it works out because that's just the way we are.

Don't mess with Mama Bear, I might hug you too tight. =D

I know that in the other thread, I probably came across as harsh in my criticism and strongly worded suggestions of "waiting", but ... heh, well now you know why.  Not my first rodeo with this type of dev shop.

You'll get it sorted sooner or later, don't sweat it for now.  "Early adoption" and "being one of the first" is cool and all, but in the end what really counts is having something that everyone wants and can be proud of finally having.  :)
