The amount starts at a set price and goes DOWN every 6 hours. It does not go UP. There is not a limited amount of space as they are in instances.
Also there are no maint costs on the houses. All of this was covered in the LIVE letter recently.

Wasn't there something that said at first you could only own one plot of land? If that it true then it will take quite a lot of RMT involvement to effect land prices.
The funny thing is, if they did indeed buy all the lots, they would be dumping all their gil in hopes of people buying those lots from them, if that is even allowed. Not to mention, lots will be added accordingly to demand I believe since they are instancing the FC housing. Just make a bazillion lots and force the RMT to dump all their gil. ;)
If the OP only had a hand-full of errors and people were just trolling, I would agree with you. However, if someone is completely incapable of communicating their ideas in a coherent manner, the other users are justified. It's not enough for one to simply have ideas; if the individual in question is not able to communicate those ideas, the ideas are useless.
The auction is not about bidding, it is a waiting game. Wait and it get cheaper, but wait too long and someone else buy it. It start with the max price and get cheaper every 6 hours.

A: It will not be different. The price of the buildings will be a fixed amount, but the land will be sold in an auction-like system and start at the highest price. As time passes, the land that has not been sold yet will decrease in price. With that said, players on newly added Worlds that do not have that much gil in circulation can wait for these prices to come down. The price will be reduced every six hours.Quote:

Q: As there are differences in economies from World to World, will the housing costs differ by World?
There is no incentive for rmt to buy houses. none.
There has been nothing that has said that you can resell the land.
Once an instance server is filled, another one is created, meaning it's impossible to buy up all the land.
The "ah" system is buying FROM THE GAME, not from other players.
People need to stop flipping out over misinformation on something that isn't even in the game yet.

Why would RMTs buy land? As far as I'm aware, you can't sell land to other players, only abandon it (at that point the game picks the land back up and puts it back on the market place).
Honestly, I hope RMTs are stupid enough to think you can sell land to other players. Think of how much gil they'll be loosing before they realize how stupid they are and abandon the land so legit players can buy it.
How could that screw anyone over? There is NO LIMIT to the amount of land on the market. FC's aren't going to be buying ten million pieces of land (why would they?). Once those that can afford to buy the land at the initial price, the next created lands will go down in price.

you know OP, if you dont like FFXIV that much and love FFXI, then perhaps you should go play the non "wow" clone.
or even start a petition for SE to upgrade FFXI graphics? sure, the petition might not work, but hey at least it would be something, right?
Useless fearmongering, Can't sell land to other players.
