Just visited the office for the first time because anniversary. The place is horrible, why anyone would PAY to be able to spend time in a corporate environment like that really is beyond me lol
Do people really spend money on a cape to access this place???
It was giving me anxiety from the second I walked through the door, but then I accidentally clicked a thing that started a video on all the screens, and it was like something out of a nightmare, I had to get out of there 😂😂
Personally, I paid for the cape a few years ago because:
I wanted to support TGC (yeah I know...)
I was a moth and wanted to be able to access a special place like many other veteran players did with their capes, but didn't want to wait for the yearly special collaboration event
Looking back, I'd 100% tell myself to not do it, but I guess this way I've learned a valuable lesson :P
I can understand that, but there are so many other ways to lol

Curiosity killed the moth, eh? 😂
This is all light hearted of course, people are free to play and spend their money as they please, I suppose I just found it really confusing why anyone would want to leave such a beautiful, fantastical in-game environment, to spend time in such a mundane, and yeah, corporate, setting.. I guess it's also that people who haven't spent a lot of time working in such an office, won't get the same oppressive feeling from being in one when they don't have to lol
I've never looked at it that way, imagine playing a game set in a magical world and paying for the chance to go back to a grey and depressing mundane office -_-
But on another note, now that I think about it, the cape has some stuff that for some might make it worth paying for:
For amateur in-game photographers, it has a unique utility, since the office gives you access to a blue, green and blank white room in which you can take pictures that are easier to edit later.
For Sky-fans, the office is covered in posters that give insight into the history and meaning of the realms in Sky.
And for those that want their own Space Oddity: "On certain days, the inside of the Office will be dark, and players will see that the television screen in the meeting room is brightly lit and flashing. Players can journey through the screen to another area – the Space Station, or ISS."^[https://sky-children-of-the-light.fandom.com/wiki/Secret_Area]
Again beware, if I could go back in time I would not pay for the cape. But I guess here it is, my free, completely unpaid pitch for the office cape if someone wants to throw money at TGC for some in-game pixels💀
