<p>I know an arasai like that! *groans*</p><p>Great story Kiara, really looking forward to the housing update. *bounces*</p>

[Hecula]

<p>Welcome to my life. Only if you were me, the Arasai, after finding the perfect home, would ignore my advice, lowball it, loose out on a multiple offer situation and want to start over again at square 1.</p>

<p>It says one, two and three room houses got extra rooms, but what about the five-room?</p><p>(love the Gorowyn ramps and stuff, btw!)</p>

[aliksteel]

<p>Wish GU would have went on test today like they said it would, Then we would know what has happen to the 5 room homes.</p>

<p><span style="color: #00cc00;">Hmmmm Several of my Alts will have to move their fireplaces in the one rooms....Once you finish feeding the test hamsters I'll see more about it. </span></p>

<p><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif; font-size: small;">Majdul is so corrupt I would have thought you would have fit right in. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/97ada74b88049a6d50a6ed40898a03d7.gif" border="0" /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS; font-size: small;">It was brought up in another forum post that Majdul is not lowbie friendly for home shopping.  Are there any plans to make that easier?</span></p>
