Aesthetics are important. The park which along with a farm are something I long wanted. ACORN PARK doesn’t work well but just to be able to walk the path is enough. In this case the way it looks is the most important.
BRAMBLENOOK is special. Grow crops raise animals and trying the get the bear out of the tree. (I put the bear there.) It’s a fun place. Interactivity.

HOME TYCOON is what one wants it to be. Mostly grass, farms cities, villages, something we can build. Interactivity.

Little things mean a lot. In the LONDON PUB the dart scoreboard didn’t work and it took away from the space. Now it works and it’s much better. Functionality.

The delightful GNOME CURLING both public and private spaces are ruined for me by an improper working scoreboard. Maybe that too will be fixed. Functionality.

With me the most important thing is music. Others have their own thoughts of importance.

As an old song says, “To Each Their Own.”

Copy & paste your replies, folks, and hope you can the typing right. Replies are kinda’ like programming, eh?

The way things look and are set up are important however that’s a matter of taste. As to functionality, several things in ACORN PARK don’t work but I’m happy going there so in that case aesthetics are important. Just gimme a pathway and grass and I’m set. (Aesthetics means the way things look? LOL)

Recently a friend said to me after BRAMBLENOOK came out, “That’s what you always wanted.” and yes they were right. Well, the park with a bridge too. The farm is amazing: grow crops, raise animals and try to get that darned bear out if the tree (I put the bear there). Imagination.

HOME TYCOON starts with with a field and a bridge we can’t access and after that we’re on our home as to customizability. Build a city, a race track or watch the grass grow. Our choice. Ah yes, winter Christmas houses also. Pretty great concept, eh?

We shall see on LOOTs night time apartment space. If the radios work then it’s probably a winner.

Some spaces I like but don’t like if they’re missing something. Leaving radios out, two examples are the scoreboard in the LONDON PUB which was on the blink but now works. Now if they can get the scoreboard working for the delightful GNOME CURLING spaces, both public and private, that would something.

When it comes to functionality, if it don’t work right, it takes away much of the fun. For me it’s the music. C’m LOOT, rock on with the music.

I’d have to say that “Seven Winds” is my favorite space so far. It’s beautiful, can be customized and I can fly there, so what’s not to love?

Personally, it’s mainly about the full package. How well rounded it is over all as to if I find a space “worth it” or not, example; the tropical island space (I forget it’s name) -- the one at sunset with the little open-walled house and the mini infinity pool at its front? Anyway, beautiful space, absolutely gorgeous! But, nothing more than a pretty box. No extra, space specific rewards, nothing interactive, as an MGS grunt would say “just a box” heh.

Then there’s LOOT’S Space Station (that comes pre-packed with furniture items) has the following; EOD (multiples of), Twitter feed, colour changable floors/lighting, windows that open/close, several floors, a STUNNING view of Earth, oh, and lets not forget the damn ROOF comes off!

Both of these are on polar ends to each other in what they offer the buyer. But then we get things like Darla’s Den -- for FREE! Okay, so Darla’s isnt really a patch on either but still, a trip to the Midway gives you instant access to your private slice of fairground.

Then we have that little Casino gem, also free and arguably pretty useless for decorating. But hey, it CHANGES! Constantly! So you never know what you might face anytime you walk in there. That, to me, is pretty cool -- and the price is right.

LKWD have set the bar however with not only their keen attention to detail and beautifuly textured spaces, but their systems are clever. By “systems” I mean things like the built-in gift machines and daily appearance rewards. Not only do their spaces look gorgeous, but they make you play a game of sorts for items that will not only benefit the space you just purchased, but there’s you own too. All they’re missing is their own version of EOD -- which is probably futile by now.

I guess what I’m saying is, everyone has their own standards and reasons for buying certain spaces. I know mine, and the price I’m willing to pay, but as for one influence or the other? Well, you can be the prettiest damn thing ever, but if you have nothing to contribute other than looks, how can you expect to get anything more from me than a long stare and a quick fling?
