Oh for crying out loud! Not only did the split the incredibly close and annoying 45 acre up into 2 20 acres, but they actually moved one up and over so it's now behind half our hood! So the giant mountain range I built to block out the 45 acre only now blocks one of the 20 acres and I now have to use more of my very limited hood drops to try and block out this other hood! Which is also incredibly close! Like if it was a PAZ I'd be reporting it, close. NO FAIR. You're really showing me how much you care about us existing 45 acre hood owners, There. Thanks again, it's so much fun using up hood drops and spending more money just to try to get some privacy and peace and quiet in a PRIVATE hood from the new hoods you keep dropping around us! Woohoo! Party!

And yes, I'm grumpy.

Sapp, in your shoes, I'd be grumpy too. I went and looked at those hoods and they are way too close your hood. I guess they must be 50 meters away but it sure doesn't seem like it. You can walk out of one and almost walk right into your hood.

Poor planning on someone's part , geez, I feel for you Sapphirra

The two 20-Acre Neighborhoods were placed farther away from your Neighborhood than the original location of the neighboring 45-Acre in your sector.

All of the new 20-Acre Neighborhoods have been dropped within the Guidelines of the Real Estate Placement Policy. They have all been dropped over 50 meters away from any pre-existing PAZ or Neighborhood.

You're not hearing me at all, There RealEstate.
Distance wise, it may be further away (though everyone who sees it agrees it is still WAY TOO CLOSE), however, it used to at least be all in one area, which I spent alot of money to build a mountain chain which would visually block it and keep their traffic from coming over because they used to come over and buggy bash us, and had up garish decorations which didn't go with our theme, and being so close to us, those decorations were highly visible. The mountain chain completely blocked it from view. NOW you have split it in two and MOVED one of them to a completely different spot that is NOT blocked by the mountain because it is directly behind half our hood. So goodie, it's slightly further away by your estimate, but it's STILL TOO CLOSE and not only that, it's now close in TWO different locations, so I now have to spend more money and hood drops to try to block THAT one from view for our privacy.
It may be within guidelines, but it's still too close. Sorry, but it is.
If I'm standing at our boundry and someone is standing at theirs, I can see what they're typing, it's that close.
As soon as someone moves in, everyone is going to assume that hood is ours.
We're going to immediately start to experience lag, again, which disappears when nobody lives in the other hood.
When people just assume it's all one hood and I can walk over from mine to that one in just a few seconds, and their crap causes us to lag, and I can see what they're typing, it's TOO CLOSE.
I'm not the only one who noticed, and I've been complaining about it for ages, and instead of fixing it, you just made it worse.
Again I say thanks for showing how much you don't care about us existing 45 acre hood owners. It would have been nice if you'd asked if we even wanted this right next to us.
I guess when we've been driven away by frustration, lag and lack of funds from having to pay for decorations to cover up your mistakes, you'll just merrily split our 45 acre into 2 20's and call it a day, huh?

I know better the to think the original price of anything will be wat is first thought of, manly because of the overall demands on the server.

I really did think I remembered hearing in the town hall meeting that a 20 would be 250 drops and no lots allowed. Was I mistaken? Its great the owner can get some of his monthly rent back but... I was thinking this would be great an intire island of 20s and each owned by a developer showing his or her stuff spred far enough appart to remove any confusion about whos is whos but close enough together you could see the next one in driveing distance. Talk about mall concept... what an awsome idea.

now its 300 drops with 2 lots sort of I dont know took the wind out of my sails a little bit.

Is there anyone else thinking like i am or am i alone on this one?
One island set asside for developers, so as a user "not so crazy about surfing auctions and running pazz trials all day", I teleport to the island land at centeral directory with teleport links to all 20 lots. from there I just click on the builders lot and im standing in front of there newest creations set up the way the builder intended it to be used. and so on down the line of new stuff.

ok theres some flaws in that as having 250 manicans out to walk around wouldent be all that much fun in my case, so I dont have all the bugs figured out but all the same...

Maby add another 5000t a month option to the rent to list that month on front page because that builder wants more trafic because of a new item in game.. the options are endless!

Ok so resellers would make it rough and so on and so on I get all that but its just the general idea.. one island developers only not comunitys not renters just one place to go see whats the newest and greatest stuff in there that month....

The malls are great that people have but there so spred out and always moveing for this reason or that, plus theres some developers pushing the limits and stacking the 40s so the tops on these places sort of stop that developer from showing there stuff. a micro mall wont hold the whitehouse build or the satern5 project and the hood size castle builds are definatly not going to fit in a small 20m X 20m area.

Im sure theres some cloathing designers that wouldent mind a half price half size 10 X 10 with 150 drops close enough to the next cloathing developer to shoot them??? Theres an entire weekend of exploring one full island just checking out the stuff of the month.............

But what do I know? Cube paint ball areans didnt go far at all...ROTFL
