Housing in new worlds

I think it was better have the housing locked for some time when a "new world" is added to datacentre.

Or else, all the housing goes in the hands of whoever transferred there. As it happened. A lesson for the future, I hope.

But that's the idea, the people who transferred might have left behind a house, are you saying they shouldn't be able to buy a house again? No one would have transferred then if it meant losing their house.

"Locked for some time" doesn't mean locked indefinitely. Why would anyone want to transfer now if there's no plots left? First come first served is a terrible idea.

I don't agree with that, whoever is first in the new district that opened up, should have all rights to purchase a plot. Don't matter if that person transferred there or have been there for a while, nor does it matter if somebody just made a new character etc. It would be funny tho, if we get the new housing area's for purchase up tomorrow, a lot of people still haven't received their orders, others still haven't gotten a key, another bunch is still leveling since they wanted the 15 days free etc. I can see that discussion going down hill really quick, if that's happening lol

You do realize even if they locked the plot for "some time" that when they get unlocked it would still be a first come first server thing? So I don't really understand your thought process.

Besides, how long as we talking? If level 70s move to a new server, even a month or so later who is to say the new players would have enough money saved up by then to purchase the Large or even Medium plot?

Don't forget the people that make their first character ever on the new server.

They will be left behind any transferring player because haven't got the time to make the Gil required for the plot. Is that really just?

Still no difference to players creating a new character on existing servers.:rolleyes:
Ofc the people who come first will get the plots. If others are too late it's their own fault :eek:

But that was kind of the main focus, to get some of us off of highly populated worlds and an excellent chance at getting a plot we wanted that could never obtain on our old worlds.

Otherwise, why even move at all. I've been playing since 2010 and why should a new player then get what I've waited for years... that's why it is first come first served, that is the only real fair way.

By the time all houses are sold a server will be fairly well-populated already. At that point there is no real need for more people to transfer to it - so it is not a problem if people don't want to transfer.
