    Looks again at date - 11th of September...so I assume it's tomorrow's update.

    My other question still stands - Will this be an update for Queen's Gate only?

    Don't sure why it got posted last night, for the Sept.11th up date. Hopefully a mod well come on today and try to explain what's going on, thinking that can't be the whole up date,

    I've looked at this thread quite a few times today and hadn't even noticed the date. Lol.

    It is not useful for me, but I think it's a nice idea to provide walls, gates and towers that actually match the Queens's Court. Right now these items only match the King's Keep.

    It IS a very nice idea. Which is why it is a shame that the new Queen's Court walls are architecturally the same as the walls that match the King's Keep. They just altered the colors a bit, and added brackets. And I guess the walls look more stucco than stone now. Really, they only match the Queen's Court in color. The architecture of the new "Queen's" walls do not match the architecture of the Queen's Court. They still match the King's Keep.

    I would have loved to have seen a wall that matched architecturally, not just in color. Instead of the crenellations that are exactly the same as the original (KK) "Wall", it could have topped it with a draping, vine-like version of the flowering greenery that climbs up the sides of the Queen's Keep. Or, even better, it could have thrown out the entire KK-matching wall shape and replaced it with one that had Tudor style wood-on-stucco patterns like parts of the QC, and was more slender and elegant like the QC. And instead of the same exact "new" tower shape, it could have been something that emulates the cup-shaped balconies on the QC. Or at least has that fancifully sloped cone roof as the QC. Those are just off the top of my head. There was SO much opportunity there, to give us something new. The way the Peony Fence was actually new. This doesn't feel new at ALL to me. Sorry.

    [Disclaimer: I'm an architect. So I am probably looking at it from a different angle, and more critically, than most people.]

    Thank you. This was an interesting read. Although I really like the new items provided I find it fascinating to learn what people have to say who have a totally different approach. Very interesting! You have enhanced my way of looking at those features, now I can see what I would not have noticed otherwise. Thanks again!
