Thoughts on Relocation removal

[Penthea]

The only issue I see with the system is that they're still not allowing alts to be registered as part owners (or some form of special guest) in a house that you do own.

Yea SE did express interest in introducing that feature and I was hoping to see it in EW but given they said nothing about it at all it seems not yet Though there is a chance some server voodoo would need to be done to enable a feature like that to be added, and well the recent enormous influx of new players causing congestion issues could have forced them to put that feature aside for the moment. I hope that's the case.

I have mixed feelings about this entire new purchasing system. I will say I am glad that SE did their best to make sure the lottery cannot be abused...well unless you own several accounts but there really isn't anything they can do about that.

I think I'll save my thoughts on this until I see exactly what Island Sanctuaries will provide. If they provide a house you can decorate at least as well as the current houses, then the new buying systems are going to be a significantly smaller issue than they appear to be right now.

I've shared this thread on a housing discord server and it seems that a lot of people are putting their expectations on Island Sanctuaries, despite very little information being shared about them. Hopefully it is as you say, and it will live up to people's hopes, but I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't as ambitious as everyone is making it seem to be (or that more complex features such as housing will be added much, much later). Who knows, though! I'm excited to see what they're about either way.
