Housing Rally 12-20-2014 - More Frost-feely Feeling!!!

Welcome to the December 20th 2014 Homes and Tomes House Rally - More Frost-feely Feeling!!!

We’ll start off in chat to let late-comers join up, and then switch to group/raid channel (if we need to) once everyone is on board!

I’m your host Kuerden Basajuanak, and tonight we’ll be looking at some Frostfell-themed housing! This is the biggest decorating time-of-year, and people do amazing things for the Holidays!

As we take a look at these houses, don’t forget to reward the designers by liking creativity and/or style! Try to wait until everyone zones in to LIKE a house though – otherwise the house can shift in the list and make it hard to find!

For anyone new, we’ll be visiting houses via the Housing & Leaderboards selection of the main EQ2 menu. Sometimes the numbers have shifted a little, just ask if you can’t find it!

So set your Leaderboard for Hall of Fame/Newly Published and head to:

Snowflake Manor (#5 Hall of Fame/Newly Published) by Critana

A Five-Room New Halas Estate

Here we have a lovely ice-themed house! On zone-in you are presented with a small entrance alcove. Head forward a little and you’ll find a hidden teleport pad. This will take you down to the ocean edge.

Now that we are out-of-box (i.e. outside the traditional boundaries of the house), you’ll see ahead of you an ice building taking shape over the water. WAIT until it forms fully, or you may fall through into the water!

In the meantime, look behind you and you’ll see a small corral with assorted mounts and a tool shed. Several Frosty Vespyr Trees and pines are used in the landscaping.

Once the house is fully rezzed, go up the Kerra Steps and into the house. Proceed up the hallway to the central room. As you can see the house is formed like a snowflake! Let’s go clockwise around the house!

Directly ahead is a sitting room and sleigh bedroom.
To the right is a bathroom and a guest bedroom.
Then a Dining Room and a Curio area.
The next two rooms are weapons/trophy displays.
Next (skipping the doorway) is a reading library/reading room.
Bedroom and Kitchen.
Gaming room.

I thought this was beautifully done – at least for the exibitionistic at heart!!! I liked the minimalistic decorations that didn’t detract from the transparent character of the house either! Spend a few minutes wandering and we’ll head to the next house!

Hartay’s Holiday Retreat (#3 Massive Homes/Newly Published) by Hartay

A Snowy Dwelling

I popped in here in my usual Leaderboard Crawl, and thought it was very well laid out for a Holiday Party!!! Lots of space to mingle and enjoy Frostfell social life! On zone-in head for the main house!

Make a right onto the open sitting area and dance floor. This provides a nice view on the ocean and snowballs!

Enter into the house and see the main room. There is a hidden portal take it to the bedroom, icy patch and Kitchen.

Wander a few moments and we’ll continue on! Don’t forget to Like It if you Like It!
