Maybe they have a delay with getting the t-shirt in time.
We will notify everyone if we release the promotion and/or home in the future.

I don't put much stock in the t-shirt theory. If it was that they could always sell the home now and just say to the buyers - "Hey guys, there's going to be a delay with the shirts." That wouldn't cause riots.
I think it's more likely the sale was cancelled due to low demand, which they'd have a good idea of based on things like forum feedback - which wasn't very positive - and player behaviour on the PTS. Number of previews, players actually furnishing it etc. Also youtube preview views and comments.
I love it and all the Elsweyr housing and furniture but it wouldn't be to everyone's tastes and feedback here hasn't been great.
There may be more value in not selling it now and instead as I suggested earlier, giving it away for free with an event like the villa last year, which is now for sale for 15000 crowns. Effectively the house becomes a $150 incentive. Buy Elsweyr now for approx $30 (when it's on sale, as it was last year) and get a free $150 house with the event, which won't otherwise be available for over six months.
I wasn't very keen on Summerset. Hate the Alinor housing style and furnishings and the psijic skill line is mostly garbage. But I did buy it during that event to get the villa. I don't love the house but didn't want to miss out on it, and I did love the mount at least.
However, not knowing any sales figures, of course, I suspect that Elsweyr is selling better than Summerset cuz necro, kitties, and dragons.
Plus, we're already getting a free notable house with it.

I'm delaying doing Elsqeyr cos I've finally given up on them ever fixing wardens and decided to go necro, which is so much better. Story is this game's biggest selling point and it's totally ruined by experiencing it out of order. So it'll be a while before I get there.
Though when I have gone in to peek around the zone doesn't seem very busy.Plus, we're already getting a free notable house with it.
That's not true though, is it?
We're getting part of a notable house for free. The rest we have to buy because it's locked in unreleased dungeon DLC.
Only a tiny minority of players want to buy or play their dungeon DLC so they've resorted to epic bribery. First Haakvild and now this.
We would surmise that not many people bit on the Haakvild lure and that's why we're getting a free sample.
