It makes perfect sense when you consider how badly SE will underestimate the number of plots needed, and the fact that the top 5-10% richest players who have tons of level 50 alts could go in and buy up a whole zone of plots if they wanted to.......

1 Plot per account per server sounds right to me.

It's things like this that sort of give me the impression that Personal Housing very well could be instanced to a degree. Kind of like how personal rooms are in FC Houses. I mean... how else are they able to allow every, single FC house in all 6 Wards in all Housing areas to have up to a whopping 512 rooms? They're all single instances.


I was speaking with a friend of mine yesterday, actually, and I'm not even entirely convinced that personal housing will be in the Wards, but located in the City themselves. I know that there is a particular area in Gridania that has an NPC that wards people away if they try to approach the area. What's to say that we don't walk there, and a list much like the FC Housing list doesn't appear there and we select which we'd like to enter?

Mind you, this is all raw speculation, but I've been brainstorming as to how SE could not make this situation work where some people won't be able to get houses in time and what-have-you.

In any case, the lack of information is just... a bit irksome to say the least.

I agree with this. Typically they would have released something by now. Anything. When personal rooms were being released, they mentioned it on the Loadstone Topics along with the cost and requirements to have one. I think personal housing has been pushed back, I'm not expecting it in 2.38.

In that same respect, wouldn't they have announced its delay?

Personal Housing will be a big disappointment if personal gardening isn't available. This is the only reason I even care. Yes it would be cool to have a house in it's own right, but to me the only purpose is for gardens. Honestly, a public garden area would have been a better idea anyways. Big areas of communal garden plots for rent.

All I know is I have 2000 myth and about 1400 soldiery saved up for the relic extension.


I may have been a bit paranoid with the solidery saving, but 2.4 should remove the weekly cap so it wouldn't surprise me if this part of the relic quest needed it.


And if not, I can gear up another alt I hardly use /shrug

I pray to the twelve that they do it in such a way that everyone can get a personal house when and where they need/want/can afford it. I will be very upset if they do it the same way they have done the FC housing. Like other people have commented on, if I dont have the money for it the moment the server comes back up and all plots are sold, then I have lost interest in one of the few things left about this game that i was actually excited for.

But I'll be damned that it does sound like it will be the same way the FC is, they release 5 wards with personal house plots, once those are bought up, you are shit outta luck until they decide to/are able to create more wards. I would have been happy if they did it like the mog house stuff from FFXI but allowed us to go to the outside instead of warp directly inside the house.

Just shooting in the dark here, I think they'll announce the delay along with the patch notes/release tomorrow. Perhaps they are still attempting to have personal housing released tomorrow and are holding off until they know for sure?? Just a guess.

Well, I am surprised that they wouldn't publicize private housing if it was coming. It's a feature that many have asked for and many other games provide.

If they are planning to include it, they certainly haven't marketed it very well. Of course, it is just as likely that it got pushed. In any case, I wouldn't hold my breath for anything meaningful.

Going to laugh if it's just additional personal housing wards just like existing ones, with prices that START at 850k for a small on low economy servers. They haven't even elaborated to say if it will be 850k for the plot, or 850k for plot+building permit, so I'm suspecting it will still be the additional mil for the permit after you buy the plot.

On the other hand, if they actually let individuals own a large sized house like FCs have now that would be pretty silly. I suspect that all houses will be smalls, and probably even more toned down, like you only get a 4 patch garden, or individual pots with no way to get cross pollination.
