Petition for more wards / instanced housing

I'll be happy to sign.

All the new housing was taken within 10 minutes on my server, and all the transferred plots were bought up within an additional 10 minutes. I literally had no chance to get a house at all. It's absolutely idiotic that some of the older MMO's have instanced housing and FFXIV can't seem to 'find a solution' to the housing problem aside from adding a few more wards. It only causes the frenzy to get worse!

Please, for the love of pancakes, fix this issue.

I sign in!
Was in the crowded server. 2034 in queue (only 1440 plots available I already knew I wouldn't make it) and the launcher even crashed x 3 during the update download. I am trying to buy a house since they added sudbivisions. Tired to see that situation for anyone! Even those who made it had to challenge and probably got not the house they were aiming. Expand wards and limit personal house to 1 x account.

I'm in for instance housing. I mean, MMO like SWTOR or even Blade And Soul which are F2P have an housing system where ALL players can manage to have one and I was happy to be able to have something like that. This system is just about how fast you can preload patch and then if your SSD is better than everyone else SSD / HDD. Ful of RNG and unfair.

I'm still signing despite the fact I got a house. I can't accept a release coming from such a big company as SE to be this crappy.
Lobby system crashing because it can't handle thousands of connections ? Come on guys, you knew thousands of people would try rushing inside Shirogane to buy a house.

Add another name on the list. More wards, instanced housing, I don't care. I hit the log in button as soon as the servers came up, got hit with a lobby error, then hit with a launcher not logging in. Ended up in a 2919 and everything gone by the time I went in. I heard that even the smaller servers sold out in under half an hour. Even the active players on low-pop servers outnumber the available housing. :/

This game has far too many unique active subscriptions to have anything other than an instanced housing model.

Honestly as much as we on NA/EU have debated, discussed, or whatever about the housing issue (no matter the opinion). It feels like SE isn't listeningnor they simply avoid the english forums all together. Maybe send in a little note on the support page under others option for suggestions. If they're bombed enough..maybe they'll understand the mangitude of demand?

No thanks. I don’t want to go through the disappointment again.


Unless SE can guarantee me something larger than a small house in any way or form, I would rather request apartments be deleted and any and all housing promotions on patches to stop because in its current state it does not warrant being a feature of the game since like 98% of the player base can’t enjoy it.

I agree. Needs to be better handled. I had a house early on when personals came along because I was ready and hopeful for its release. Saved up enough with me and 1 friend to try to get our small house to a large. Not even a chance in shirogane much less older locations. After all not like many had to give up their space.

Either it needs to get a steady stream of housing wards built up between patches for the subs you guys have that stick around after this, or something needs to be revamped like seperation between personal and FC at the least without needing to add more wards but still “double” the housing.

Sorry for any errors in my writing I was up all night to try for this to only get shut down in under 25 mins in diabolos and having some people act horribly such as the very first 1 laughing at me because I check for the house. Damn me for trying people. Feel the salt SE, feel the salt.

We're 4th highest population in the world with Leviathan and Omega ahead of us.

Apartments. are. different. than. plots. !.
they should add a feature where you can resell apartments. I'd be willing to buy an apartment then.
