All the years I played before my last return to game last year, was mostly on Catskills, once played Great Lakes for lil bit. Since I came back to game last year, I decided to open my accts and try the home shard of coarse (Catskills) but I decided to place a house on Atlantic, Had a larger house on Atlantic but the one I am in now is by far my favorite house of all a small House outside the gates of Moonglows north gate, love the fact I'm next to the city and its not a busy city which I love that fact. Then I have a Castle On Catskills I am struggling learning the new building system, building with new craftable walls and floor tiles, many many hours I find myself figuring out ways to build extra rooms and floors, yet still have the Atlantic set up for when its slow or boring on Catskills, (there are perks to a small shard, more then just housing) I feel I have the best of both worlds and I SOOOO LOVE IT
