I did not play the GOH, I originally had a house in Fofita, which was landlocked and I really wanted some water close by and then was lucky enough to get my Vic on an island. I paid my Premium account for a year as it was much cheaper, and I use my stipend to fund the rent of my little Gatcha shop, So all and all I am satisfied with my Premium. The extra groups and the marching into any event unhindered is a total winner for me.
Yes the prims are low, and I have had to decorate really carefully. I would pay extra for some extra prims..500 prims.. I think would be a more realistic number.
I would have loved a houseboat, but they never are available, I think with the runaway success of this particular model, LL might of considered building more.
I have explored extensively on Belli, on my moped and on a final note I do feel really sad at the amount of empty homes, and some are on exceptional plots... undecorated and unloved.. seems selfish, especially when so many people are just trying to get one home.
