Two Streets That Are Essentially the Same ... Which One Has Been Locked Away for All This Time? (and a 3rd street, plus another set of duplicates)

I never noticed that two streets in Groddle Meadow have the exact same background layers and platform designs. The only difference is the foreground objects and sign posts. Both streets even have the same Shrine to Tii.

Surely one of these streets was meant to have a different design but somehow was overwritten by the other street? No two streets in Ur share the exact same background combination... If so, will we see the real visage for the suppressed street before the end?

The two streets:
Eglesgown Wanks
Greenvern Mend

Update: moucri has made some further observations.

Briarset Croft is also essentially the same as Eglesgown Wanks and Greenvern Mend.

and these two streets look the same and both have Shrine to Mab:
Brinlow Vale
Welldale

Update 2: Hburger has the answer! http://www.glitch-strategy.com/2011/11/a-look-back-street-upgrades/

  • Weird! You have an eye for detail, don't let the devs get away with street-copying! ;)

  • Well, if it is a mistake, it's too late to care anyways.

  • Also, Briarset Croft is the same background as Eglesgown Wanks and Greenvern Mend, but has a different vendor and shrine...

  • Those matching streets also have matching high-img quoins.  I think I leveled through my 40s doing those rounds.....

  • I think maybe it was street projects back in the old days of Glitch.

  • No wonder Groddle Meadow felt pretty repetitive. But I do believe every other region had unique streets. :)

  • +1 oscarette, I had noticed all the matching streets as well due to matching high-img quoins during my rounds as well, haha. :)

  • They're that way because when we were unlocking/upgrading those streets two years ago, we chose similar design options. 

    I did a "Look back" GS blog post about it a while ago - http://www.glitch-strategy.com/2011/11/a-look-back-street-upgrades/, which you might want to put in to the forum post, TomC :)

  • Those are some of my favorite streets in Groddle. I love that they were player-chosen! Thanks for the article, Hburger!
