Instanced Housing?

I'm not a computer expert by any means, but wouldn't it generate an unmanageable amount of server load to create that many separate instances in the game? The servers have had trouble in the past with instance based content as it is.

instanced housing is only loaded on an as needed basis and there is nothing forcing you to go there enmasse, like a Rauban Housing Extreme. Currently there are many areas similar to that, like the rising stones, waking sands, every apartment and inn room.

Additionally, instanced zones take up very little space, even when loaded, compared to any zone that has NPCs of any kind. The fewer NPCs present, the fewer scripts that need to be called.

On a related noted, I hope FC features like Airships/Submarines/Workshop are accessible from the Grand Companies/main cities or better still make these features with individual access.

It is really a rubbish system,that such features/content is tied to FC housing or that very few individuals have access to them(usually FC leader and inner circle).

Agreed, I always thought that access to the workshop features were flawed from the start. It was fine to a degree when people did Diadem 2.0, but when that stop being a thing, they pretty much became another version of Retainer Ventures. I would love to see the workshop features have more availability to them. More types of airships available such as airships from other final fantasy games, additional content added to diadem and eureka such as actual quests with rewards worth the time actually doing said content.

Another thing that an instanced houseing plot would allow is more outdoor decorations to be placed. As it is right now the housing zone loads all the decorations for 20-some houses, with just your house this would make it much better. Maybe we could even have the outside/inside be the same zone so we didn't have to load into the house.

There was post about the garden plots would not grow unless you were present in a instance housing situation as it would not be loaded unless you were there. They needed the loaded zone for garden plots to work so we have the housing system we have now. Don't know how difficult or if they could get them to work in a instance house.

Maybe they need to detach the weather from garden plots then. All that nets us is a different animation if we tend when it's raining. We can still grow in the flower pots perfectly fine and those are instance bound.

Instanced housing always seemed lame to me. I like the tangibility of how houses are right now.

Then don't use instanced housing? What is the point of this statement?
