Or are these the new walls and statues coming up?

Gotta love it when the Dev Team's "surprise" is spoiled by something silly like this.

Yay for corporate bureaucracies.

I really hope this doesn't mean that they are adding more items and not upgrading the graphics to a better resolution.

Those could include different items but I get the feeling a large part of both of those packs will be housing tiles.

 

[Tanivar]

Hopefully they will include rounded floortiles for a round tower. They gave us the walls years ago.

Rustic allows you to make log cabins. Gothic lets you customize your character faces to "sad."

Just guessing here.

I still cannot imagine what those will be and I have a hard time thinking those will only be new housing tiles.

Or else their audience will be a tad limited, no?

Now, in alliance voice chat this morning, someone made an excellent case that they may well really just be new housing tiles, contrary to my expectation. And floated an excellent guess as to what those new tiles will look like.

But, still, I'm inclined to think there'll be something else in there, else why make a new entitlement? Why not just sell usable tiles at the UO Store or something?

There appears to be some mention of it on a Japanese site.

Not the official UO Japanese site, but some other kind of site, like a fan site or something.

I didn't click on it.

Most likely exactly the same as this thread: "Hey, what the Hell is this??? What could it be???"

Just wait til they ask you to spend $9.99 per housing tile set or $14.99 for the pair of them. Because, you know, there's nothing like a "mini-booster" that costs just as much as a "completely and totally rushed out the door, buggy, badly tested booster."

These are the housing tile sets - spoilers - new house tiles but I think that one of those sets is also the inn in New Magincia.

 

[Viper09]

Eh, new housing tiles. Don't think I will need these.
