Uh. Why is this called an update? It's worse than before, and even more limited.
I experienced all of this in about 20 minutes, that includes time buying some new housing items.
1. I remember being able to put normal equip items in my home. Why can't I do this anymore? It was cool for extra accessorizing.
2. I cant walk on ANYTHING, not even rugs. I get stuck everywhere, and have to click rapidly to even move. When I sit, my legs tuck up under my a** WITHOUT downward movement that sitting is supposed to have?
3. sometimes I place items and they just flat out disappear.
4. Weren't people able to choose whether they wanted dark lighting in their homes? The theme of my room requires very dark lighting.
5. The transition from towns to homes is absolutely abhorrent. I use a direct link to towns in order to have it full screen so I don't have to bloody SQUINT to see myself and others' avatars and text; (why can't you make the towns and homes popup window bigger, anyway? Its ridiculously small, especially for someone with a screen resolution as large as mine. what were you guys thinking?), so it transitions into this tiny box on my browser surrounded by tons of white space. ...what? and once it loads, I sometimes get stuck way off to the side or in a piece of furniture. I click and click and click and nothing happens. The only way to get around it is to keep exiting and entering until I land unglitched. And even then the movement is so sporadic and choppy and glitchy its not even worth being able to move at all.
I was hoping for something new and awesome to toy with after 3 years of not touching my home due to lack of updates, and instead I got hit with this giant disappointment; the old housing scheme was better. Way to get my hopes up for absolutely nothing, guys. > >; Seriously, DON'T update towns if this is what you plan on doing to it. :T
Lastly, why even release this when you don't have it compatible for all browsers yet? That's just plain bogus. IE is not even on my computer for a reason.
