I don't really know what to say, just thought I'd let everyone know.

Did... did they think that if they turned it 90 degrees no one would notice?

At least there is more space stop being a sour puss

We aren't complaining, it's just, why turn it sideways? Someone was explicitly asked to turn it sideways.

They turned it sideways to a) give it a slightly different feel and b) slow the people camping specific plots down a little. B didn't really work since the login wall was the greater wall in the great 2.4 housing rush, and you could pretty much tell where/what the teles would be named if you zoomed in on the patch notes.

The real question here is why the hell make 'subdivisions' at all? Why not just make new wards... since that's essentially what these are. Seems rather pointless.

Maybe doing subdivisions is less stressful for the servers, than creating entire new wards?

If only that would allow me to get a piece of that $ Cake.
I am still too poor for housing.

Who cares.

Ya this threw me off for a second. Woke up in the middle of the night just to get my house only to see the map turned sideways and the plots had different numbers. I had my exact plot in mist picked out, plot 17. Zone in half asleep to see that and was like Omg what did they do all my research to find just the right plot was for nothing, these subdivisions are completely different. :( ... oh wait never mind there's my plot. Oh happy day. Now back to bed. :D

Maybe because they took the boat out? Don't really need to emphasize that flow when you can come in at any point, at least what I would think of as logical orientation lol.

The first one gives flow given entrances, second does the same thing :D.

Are you somehow implying that doubling the plots was in some way a cash grab by SE?

Dammit, meant to hit Reply with Quote, and I can't edit on mobile... anyway, that was for Razzle up there.
