Potentially put there as a placeholder in case the developers agree on a new style of shop (hoping for some sort of barbershop) in the future. That way its already in the foundation of the game and they dont need to go in and add a whole new section to the shopping district. Like I said, placeholder.
Just speculation though. Seems logical enough to me.
in the shopping district, down by Elik's Edge, Across the lane from the Castle Shop, is a house with the lights on.
they are yellow and looks so inviting ... but...
no one can go in...
does anyone know who lives here? and why we can gain access to this house?
or is this a mystery for us to find and solve?
I've seen this posted many times here, and have yet to see it. No one lives in those houses, they are all shops. Perhaps one day KI will add more... I read that they are considering how to let us change our appearance, i.e., hair, face, etc., but are looking into whether it would be worth the additional programming required.
