These features were compiled from this thread: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/show...using-Feedback

More Privacy Options

Choose to allow Friends, Guild Mates and / or Party Members into your house.
Choose any combination of these options to customize your House privacy settings!
Don't forget: you can choose to allow pets or have visitors auto-dismiss pets when they arrive.

Mail

Home owners can now send Mail messages to each other!

Mail can be sent to players even when they're off-line.

To get started: tap on the Mailbox icon in your House to browse the Inbox or Compose new mail.



Mail messages have a thousand (1000) character limit and require one (1) Postage Stamp (new game currency) to send. All existing Home owners and new Home buyers get a free book of ten (10) Stamps. Buy more from the Mailbox menu.

Display Cases

Now you can put your favorite banners and weapons on display in your house!
Buy the Banner Display Case or the Weapon Display case from the Furniture Store.
Use the Display Case furniture item and select a Banner or Weapon from your inventory to display.



The default Display Case will disappear in order to show off your selected Weapon in its full glory!
Move the displayed item (like any other piece of furniture) via the House Edit menu.
You can remove the item from the Display Case and put it back in your inventory.

Locations

Enchanted lands add beauty, style, and a sense of place to your House... and a new set of permanent powers for your character!

Choose from four epic Locations: Brackenridge Forest, Nordr Mountains, Tindirin Volcano, and The City!



+ Owning the Brackenridge Forest Location increases your Health.



+ Purchase of the Nordr Mountains Location increases your Mana.



+ The Tindirin Volcano Location increases your Damage.



+ And the City (available only to Tavern owners) increases Loot Re-roll Chance!



Buffs are affected by House type: the bigger the House, the better the Buff.

Keep in mind: you will receive a buff for every Location that you own, regardless of which one you choose to show!

Old Values:

Location	Buff	Starter	Cottage	Lodge	Tavern
Forest	Health	+25	+50	+100	+200
Mountains	Mana	+25	+50	+100	+200
Volcano	Damage	+0.5	+1.0	+1.5	+2.0
City	Loot Re-roll	-	-	-	+2%

EDIT: We've been discussing these values and have decided to bump up the power gained from the free options as well as making the curve a bit more linear. New values:

Location	Buff	Starter	Cottage	Lodge	Tavern
Forest	Health	+50	+100	+150	+200
Mountains	Mana	+50	+100	+150	+200
Volcano	Damage	+0.5	+1.0	+1.5	+2.0
City	Loot Re-roll	-	-	-	+2%

Please note that you cannot walk around in these environments.

Upkeep

We are working on finding the right balance for Upkeep. A couple of weeks ago we cut the Upkeep costs in half, with 2.0 we are also making it so players can take the Weekly Estate Token quest every week regardless of their current upkeep standing.

Furniture Features

Deluxe Beds can now accommodate two (2) players at the same time!
The new Lodge Hot Tub can seat up to four (4) players simultaneously!



Other items can only be used by one player at a time - so first come, first served.
But don't forget: Home Owners are always allowed to use their own furniture.

Display Ownership

When you enter a house you are reminded who the owner is. No more wondering whose party you are at!

Please let us know your thoughts and what else you would like to see in the comments below, and see ya at Goldilox's House Party!
