Equal numbers of plots will be added to all four housing areas

[Mimilu]

Did people think they were only going to add new areas to Shirogane? I don't get why the article had to bold that part like it was important... :B

Yeah the number of wards has always been equal for all areas, so that news is a longer way of saying no changes. Not only same number of wards per city, but same per world too despite different world populations. That's just the way it has been designed.

He all ready said back in Oct. in the thread he posted here all 4 wards will get housing...............

"we will be working to bolster our servers in preparation for additional wards in the Lavender Beds, the Goblet, Mist, and Shirogane by patch 4.2."

But where dose it say this "Equal numbers of plots". I see this "an appropriate amount of additional wards to all four existing housing" but if they were smart they double what ever number they have now for Shirogane seems the order of housing demand is Shirogane>Mist>Beds>Goblet. Your titles a little miss leading since some people are really hopeing they add more to Shirogane then other wards

Did you read the article?

"Equal numbers of plots will be added to all four housing areas, so please keep in mind that we won’t simply be adding a large number of wards to Shirogane because it was so popular."

Yoshi goes on to say in the article...

"We also are planning the implementation of new specifications related to the purchasing system as well, but we will announce further details as we get closer to release. We would like to give all players equal information on the system while avoiding any extensive preparations prior to the release of these changes, so your understanding on the wait for updates would be greatly appreciated."

This seems very promising. As a new player one of the things that brought me here was having a housing system.

It must be nice to be optimistic lol joking aside. We've been burned so many times and it feels like it same old "fix". I really hope they do make it better this time but i doubt it but we'll see when they make the official announcement

Regarding their comments regarding adding something akin to the terrace, I wonder if they could just make it so a room is viewed as being outdoors when it is not. So people can use all the functions and goodies that are only usable outside. Sure it would not be as pretty as a terrace, but could make it a green house or something. It is still could be within the same server that handles / progresses them interior.

It really depends..if its a lottery system than nothing much changes. Now you just need luck with getting chosen in the lottery instead of the luck to be able to log in. In the end if they do not introduce a really big amount of houses (and much more large and middle ones) this will change nothing. Some might get lucky and get a house (mostly a small one) and most will still be without one.

It looks like they are gunna add some sort of system to allow FCs to get houses before individual players because they are looking at the number of active FCs without housing. Hopefully they dont consider shell FCs to be active, but we all know they will.

The fact that Yoshi stated that added wards to each of the housing areas is old news. SE added wards before to what housing districts that existed at the time, equally.

What is new to me that SE is looking into the number of active players who own houses and the number of active FC's who don't own housing. Wondering what that could mean for housing.

I hope by active players they look into each char thats holding a house, not just the account its self. i know 4 people who are no longer on my server holding 4 houses 2 larges and 2 meds for no reason they dont play the char they just took over dead fc's... play time on them char is once every 45 days wile there on there main

Yeah well I think that loop hole stinks too. I would rather see them implement 1 private house and one fc house per account. If you transfer servers, then you also give up your right to own a house on your previous server. They must then start anew to purchase a house on their new server.

And yes I think the 45 day inactive rule should be put back into place. Too many houses are sitting once again collecting dust.

I think that line was mostly just about looking at the total amount of houses need to support the demand from both players without houses, and FCs without houses.
