European Housing

The release of Dark Majesty as an upgrade for Asherons Call was sold on two fronts - the additional island but more importantly for existing players on housing. The additional island is good but we`ve had similar expansion as part of the monthly upgrade which is provided for in our subscription. The Vesayen islands were provided under the normal ongoing game developmemt at no additional cost. Housing was the selling point. The release of housing is where, so far, I think Turbine/MS has let all players, but especially those not in North America, down. There is not enough housing to fulfill demand, which has led to camping, autobots, and real life trading of the online commodity. What housing was initially available was snapped up very quickly before the game had been released in Europe. What additional housing has been released has become available at very unsociable hours for us and is snapped up quickly. With the lack of opportunity to get a house what exactly did we get when we bought DM? A new island. Not exactly value for money. This is however all water under the bridge. So what would we like to see. 1) An indication from Turbine whether in the near future enough housing will be made available to allow evey player to own a house; with some timescale. If this level of housing is not likely to be made available, what sort of coverage do they anticipate. 2) A release of housing that doesn`t benefit one geographical player base over another (i.e. release it spread over all 24 hours)
