As was mentioned in the GU60 Crafting and Housing Preview, two new prestige homes appeared on the Test/Test_copy servers while we were testing Game Update 60. The Kromzek one should be a raid drop of some sort, the Thurgadin one will apparently be a Station Cash item "soon".
Once you've been knocking around raiding in Velious, apparently your perceptions of size get changed quite a bit. Hanging around with giants will do that to you, it seems.
No, really, this raid-dropped home will give even the tallest player a feeling of being itty-bitty, and those of us that are vertically challenged will feel really, really, really tiny.
This place is HUGE! Ginormous!
See for yourself!
| Don't fall! That's a longggggggg way down off the entry bridge! |
| Looking back at the front door |
| Then turning around and looking into the home |
| Did I mention how huge it is? |
| Interesting "windows" in some rooms |
| One room has straw in it - guess they stable their critters inside the keep? |
| This may seem like a normal large room |
| until you look up ... |
| ...and up some more! |
| Looking up from the main room - there are no stairs, and it is a long way up! |
My neck hurt after after touring this one, so I followed word on Test that there was a new home in Thurgadin, as well. Nobody seems willing to shed light on how/when this home will be available, but I had fun touring it! Of course, after touring a giant home, I was looking forward to something a bit, well, smaller, from the dwarves ... however, as the name of the place implies, small is not an option!
Entry is through the back of the Thurgadin crafting area |
I'm feeling shorter by the minute! |
That door in the back right of the pic is the entrance |
Lots of decorating challenges with irregular walls and such |
Lovely wall art, but where does the ramp lead to? |
What could be better than two waterfalls in your home? |
How about a fountain centered between the two falls? |
Did I mention how large it all is? |
