Besides the granzella stuff the Adidas (mostly those kind of cute shoes) and the freebies this is a pretty light update
They had to call the sunk companion sammy. :unamused: Anywho, glad to see NA finally caught up to EU on GZ spaces now we got to wait patiently for neon downtown. Freebies are always nice, I'm particularly looking forward to the Mercia portal as it looks great and I'll add the free poker game to my daily routine. Where is that decked area in the video showcase, I don't recognise it.
That Mahjong space is coming to NA tomorrow as well according to a Home blog reply. It is referred to as "this long-requested personal space". I still wonder where they get their requests from? lol
BONUS SURPRISE! One thing that missed the original blog post is that the Mahjong Apartment will be coming this week too! Head to the Estates store to pick up this long-requested personal space.
Also wasn't the Mercia gateway suppose to be free too? I really hope it is. Can't wait to have the gate. I just hope it's only one slot!! btw I think it's cool that Adidas is adding more in Home. But I need to buy the cool stuff they already added! Just haven't got around to it. Too much to buy. So little wallet. At least that I can justifiably use.
Yes, the Mercia gateway will be free in Lockwood store tomorrow FF....not without "controversy" and drama though. lol Somewhere around here someone mentioned that it is a 22 slot active item. (actually, it was Eve that mentioned that in the Lockwood thread). Lockwood did mention that they released it with the intent of bringing more people into the game, so I'm sure it will be the same functional portal that they had for the beta. ***From LockwoodVoice at the Devil's Den (I guess you have to highlight it to read the hidden text): Hi all, Wow, this thread has become pretty big! We left it on Friday at 18 pages with the mindset of coming back on Monday afresh and responding as honestly as possible. We've caught up now and agree with many of the points made, but ultimately we still think releasing the Mercia Portal to everyone is the best thing to do – as much as we would like to be able to please everyone, we know we can't. As previously mentioned, we never said or intended the Portal to be a beta exclusive item, and one of our core philosophies is responding to as many user queries and requests as possible. Having access to the Portal has been a big request, so, after considering the ramifications we decided it would be best for the game and community as a whole to release it. Our primary reasoning behind this was that we want as many people to play and experience Mercia as possible. We figured that making the Portal available to everyone will get it into the hands of some people who haven't heard of Mercia yet, and therefore potentially grow its player base. We hope you understand and can support our decision, even if you disagree. We're sorry that this has caused so much turmoil, it was never our intention and we had no idea it would sprout a 31-page debate! At least we know you care Kind regards, Lockwood
