I have better things to do in my life than camp houses that is just basically "You have to keep paying us to keep your subscription to keep your house."

I could train Siberian tigers. I could learn another language. I could learn to fix broken cars and make enough money to buy a real house. I could learn to program Unreal Engine and make my own game with houses and use Final Fantasy Assets, and just not publish the game to the public.

...yeah I'm a little salty over this demo timer, point is, if it's discouraging people that want to buy a house to buy a house in the first place, it probably isn't doing it's job very effectively.

Yeah. Two nights ago I sat by a plot for 3 hours and someone came by and transferred their existing house.

Then last night when I got home, I found another plot that was unavailable to purchase. Went downstairs for dinner and by the time I got back, it was gone too.

Then finally, found a third plot last night in Goblet that I sat by for 4 hours before I had to go to sleep. It was gone when I woke up this morning.

You reap what you sow.

I think I may just saw screw it on the housing until they change the way the system works. Even with all these plots available, playing the guessing game / clicking non stop placards is not fun gameplay. I feel like I'm working and not playing a game, which is sort of messed up as this is supposed to be something you do for fun.

Lost one plot when me and a friend both had to AFK at the same time for less than 5 minutes (each)

Camped another plot for 14 hours with a friend before we had to go to bed, a person transferred there overnight. A lalafel admitted to using a script the entire time.

Friend started using the buying house script and got their house with it while they afked for 15 minutes to eat.
They encouraged me to use it. I didn't want to, but apparently nobody's been getting banned for using it from what I've seen. As I've said, there's been a person that I knew was botting that is botting even to this day to get one of the now many available plots.

It's discouraging when botters get away with botting and take houses, and if you don't want to bot, you could wait MORE than 14 hours.

Now the one day many are available, the majority are not purchasable after (roughly) 10-12 hours of being available (Assuming they came up at about the time maintenance normally ends) and those with lives kind of have to live their lives.
I guess it's a sign that if you don't have the time to camp a house, you probably shouldn't get one anyways, because it isn't worth staying subscribed to FF forever just to keep your house.

Maybe there's hope then if most are still unavailable right now. I get off work in 20 minutes.

Yeah most are still unavailable. You should be good just choose something in a subdivision and camp it out. (and pray). Preferably in an undesired district like goblet.

Btw does anyone know if all the small plots start out at 3,750,000?

Price is determined by size and class. 3,750,000 is a first-class small plot. A fifth-class starts at just 3,000,000.

Thank you. That is very helpful. My strat was to camp one of the 100 open plots that is in worst location in goblet. Then this guy start clicking on it with me ugh. Moved to another one not dealing with that when there are so many available.

Good strategy. Once you have a house (any house) you can relocate and by-pass the housing timer.

Could technically not camp since there are so many and just click on them once to see if timer has worn off since many plots have depreciated a few times at this point.
