Just came to add my disappointment to the pile. Love the game and the world, been playing for 4 years now (has it been that long?).

The price tag of 850k would have been manageable. Money is not normally an issue for me in-game, so 1-2M available for a house purchase seems reasonable. But 4M (Hyperion) is absolutely not a reasonable amount for an individual to blow in a single purchase.

The most disappointing aspect of this whole debacle is the shortage of supply. Even if I had 4M sitting around, there is no way I'd be logging in at ~3am US Central time to rush to purchase a house. I'm sorry, just no.

The exorbitant price and the lack of supply (<0.3% of the subscriber base, based on rough numbers) just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I would rather a properly-executed feature than one that's basically a beta test. (Maybe that's what this patch was.. a beta test of housing?).
