    That's from a user comment, and Kujo hasn't used the word "temporary" yet. Hope I could get some kind of comment from him.

    What's this "resume please also consider developing more two more Banpitorotto" mean? Could it mean new games or new spaces?
    I'm working on a few more items today if possible, I don't have time for one of those expensive dresses at this point but I guess I could look sexy in that leopard print dress. :satisfied:

    The first one was a PS2 game. A PS3 game was on the works but got canceled with the Irem fiasco. Alot of people are requesting for a sequel for a lot of Irem games, but with Irem holding the IP, Granzella most probably won't be able to do anything but create something that's similar, but have nothing to do with the series.

    It's not unusual for a company to purchase the rights to use an IP. Happens all the time. Irem and Granzella seem to be on very close terms too.

    Kujo tweeted quite awhile before that he would like to do it, but it's less likely and needs to go through too much obstacle to acheive it. The best that he could is to make a similar game.

    Probably the biggest reason comes from the limited funds Granzella holds right now.

    Looks like I'd better cash in those 300k HP that I have in the bank, just in case.

    I have approximately 8,000 points after getting the pearl bunny costume. I'll be in Japan tonight and maybe I can get enough for one of the leopard print items – most likely the bikini. I'd prefer the pink metallic dress but I doubt I can get 140k Happy Points in one evening.

    Oh boo. I hope this is only temporary.

    I do have 6 of the original 8 ladies costumes.

    I redeemed points for the pink dress, blue bunny outfit and some of the lower priced items. I still have over 300,000 serving points left but it takes so long to convert them to Happy Points.

    The space should come back. It's way too popular and required too much work to be pulled after only a few weeks.

    I'm surprised at how much fun I've had at the "worst space ever," at Neon Shopping District/Noon Downtown or whatever it's called.

    I've met and befriended more new Japanese friends than any other event in Japan plus I get to spend more time with some of the kindest and most knowledgeable Homies around. :group:

    Going from giving up on it after 10 minutes at the practice serving station and not going back for over a week to spending almost all of my Home minutes there is quite the reversal in attitude for me. :teehee:

    Like most others I've not had to pay anything to play in it and have 6 mini mini mini dresses, 6 bunny outfits (Irem's outfit cost 700 Yen!), a leopard print dress and two swimsuits, lots of sweet ear and ring bling, and many other rewards. Plus I'm learning to read the katakana and hiragana characters much better as they use a lot of words (phonetically) like words we know, such as chocolate, mmm, and strawberry, mmm mmm, and pudding! mmhmm!

    So while it's gone I'm gonna have to find a nice malt shop/bar (which may not be easy) and order up some vanilla ice ice baby! :tease:

    Sumimasen for that last one!

    Great space Granzella!

    Yes, people have been complaining about the issues and showing Granzella which ones were made after the update. I'm pretty certain it will come back, because if the space was torn down permanently, people will be angry, and Granzella wouldn't like that, especially since they announced it so suddenly.

    So, just go to other spaces where you can play and earn rewards until it comes back. I'm also certain Granzella will put out newer rewards as an "apology", and it'll probably be one to two weeks to put the space back.

    Don't worry. It will return until the bugs and glitches are finally fixed.

    And as rewards go in that space, last night I recently got all M/F party hats, the snake, the M/F Tengu masks (worn and side masks), the leopard two piece bikini (sexy!), the M/F gold and silver watches, red and blue chairs, and the gold, silver, and bronze ornaments (whatever they are they look like masks or statues).

    And I also received Level 6 rewards on all 3 prime areas of serving! I'm looking forward to getting Level 7 rewards and up and earning more HP to those rewards in the kiosk. Still got 4 million okane last night. ;)

    They are between a rock and a hard place they cant rush it back and have all new issues, plus its taking them till Feb to resolve museum issues so they will risk upsetting museum owners by not sorting they problems out first, unfortunately the nature of home is when it goes wrong, to resolve it will always upset someone, so they would have to look at sales and numbers of people, plus future sales, whatever makes them the most money by upsetting the least amount of people will be they priority, but no way to say they wont upset a 1000 people over 500, if the 500 make them more money,

    If Granzella plans to keep expanding the space (and I hope that they do), it seems like they'll have to divide it into 2 separate spaces eventually. The lag and choppy frame-rate cannot be allowed to get much worse. It would create some navigation inconvenience but should improve the enjoyment of the space itself.

    Besides when I initially enter the space, I don't have a choppy frame rate or lag there (besides that normally infuriating lag upon leaving your wardrobe and such). Sorry to hear it's so bad for you Liza, and any others of course.

    Congrats Recca! I've got all the items there (except the male specific ones) so I'm hoping even more earnable rewards might appear one day. Greedy me! What is the total number of free rewards at that space? Oh yes, a lot! They're all quite nice too.

    When they're aren't charging so much for their stuff even Granzella can be a bit charitable.

    Well I was a busy bee yesterday evening. I finally near the end managed to find some really top servers with 1000 items repeatedly. I earned close to 130k Happy Points in a few hours and served only once.

    I was able to get both the leopard bikini and leopard one piece bathing suits. I really wanted the pink dress but I really don't think I would have been able to earn 150k and probably would not have given I only got a little over 130.

    I was able to get the second swimsuit just before Sony pulled the plug and just as Trill and I were chatting. Of all the nerve! :p

    4 bunny suits, two metallic dresses and 2 swimsuits. I'm happy. I hope they come back with more content and soon. I enjoyed my time there. I get so focused I really need to take more time to chitty chat.

    Not only have I not been able to get the last word in when Red is around now Joanna is beating me to it! Ironically her final words were something to the effect of "nah I don't think they're going to shut this down yet" and while I was furiously typing my reply, the big poof happens. ::p:

    Though they've both gotten the final word in of late, I can still hold on to the thought that I usually have most of the other words. ;D

    The free rewards would only be the wall hangings and, since they're 3 spots for 10 wall hangings each, the total would be 30! The Salon doesn't have wall hangings, but it does rank you on serves when you enter.

    And, yes, it will take some time for them to fix the issues before bringing it back to the public - I'm thinking one to three weeks. I'm certain they will save your data of okane, ranks, and HP before tackling inside the space itself, and re-test EVERYTHING until there's no bugs left at all.

    Just a list of bugs that people have encountered that I want gone:

    - Oden hosting suddenly when hosting at bar, tavern, or salon
    - Salon chairs cannot load you onto your avatar for ordering drinks and food. You need to wait 3 minutes or it sometimes doesn't work at all.
    - Oden food or no food (blank space) sometimes show up at wrong locations while you're serving, causing you to lose.
    - Mix-up between serving and ordering menus appear.

    So far these are what I've encountered, unless someone else has known of a different bug/issue going around Downtown.

    Looking at Kujo's tweets, I believe the seriousness of the problem is more than that and it's going to take more time to fix. Something like months, at least 2 months if they want to use it for April fools. (Also need to put in Sony's inspection which takes about a week to a month depending on the update and timing)
