for the stained glass they need to add 3 tiles of all full length stained glass with one for each side. that way if you wanted to make a 3-story or 4-story glass window you could.

The large stained glass window is a "Rose" design, and doesn't led itself to a variable height very well. Also, given that houses can only by 4 stories tall, I figured a window that covered 3 of them would be tall enough for most folks.

But I like what you said about a customize-able stained glass window. I'll keep that in mind!

What?!! No open stairs? For me, that was the whole attraction. I've been waiting to install the open stairs in my grass shack. Well, that's a very big bummer. I wonder why they didn't create new floors and roofs to match the walls? It all seems a little incomplete...well, totally incomplete. And I'm bummed out.

Yes, the open stairs created some technical issues that required us to create solid versions. We still have the open stair pieces, so we can re-add once we can resolve those issues.

It will look great on the main building of Magincia... thank you.

Keep up the good work and I bet you have roots now... you must be like one of those old Ents at EA... HAR HAR!

Haha! Calling me OLD? "...and I'm not old, I'm 37!!" - Python

Yea, I got a few EA roots. Very proud that those are all UO. But there are two that have bigger roots than me! But as for artists, I'm like Methuselah or something. ;-)

Thanks for the kind words. We'll keep striving to do our best.

Grimm .........

What of Floors, Doors and Foundations?

My guildmate and I both would LOVE an Arched Door set to come with the Gothic tiles

Two arches that come together... and then one smaller arched door... I think it would be sweet.

Floors..... need floor tiles to match the walls... I'd settle for recoloring the small red bricks and/or the sandstone tiny bricks the new wall color. That might look good.... Adding some accents that are the color of that nice looking pillar would be nice too.

And a Foundation to match the sets..... this is something we have REALLY wanted for a long time.


The sets just seem extremely "incomplete". And I still do NOT like the color of those rustic tiles... something more "brown" and wood like might be better.

Anyway Just saying.

And if Cal Biffed you like I told him to...... hehe..... you had it coming. Get back to work.

I totally understand what your saying, and lemme see if I can address some of your points:

Floors, Roofs, and Foundations:
Yes, those things would be great- no argument there. The thing is, I have to provide a recommendation of art tasks that Design ultimately relys on to do thier job. This list is simply an evaluation of risk vs reward weighed against available time and resources. Based on that evaluation, we decided to pass on those things at this time. Keep in mind that the Gothic set alone has over 60 pieces- I don't know of any customized housing set that comes close to that.

The arched doors and doorways I would have loved to do. Only thing is, I felt that arched doorways that were the same scale as the existing doors would just not have the feel that they should unless they could be larger. I hear that your telling me that you'd like to have them anyway?

I might have to edit this response later because I'm writing it here on my iPod, which is terribly small, so expect edits and autocorrect errors, sorry.

As for he biffing from Cal, I'm not sure I could have distinguished the biffing you asked for versus the daily biffings I get from him (I can only hope we're interpreting "biffing" in the same way)

Thanks for the post, and the good points.
