Is it just me, or does the small plot seem out of place as a company housing plot? I'm not sure how many Free Companies are out there thinking, "Man, I can't wait to get that little plot next to the giant one with the good view." Shouldn't small plots be for personal housing and medium/large be more for company housing?

It's designed for a small free company with 10-20 members I guess. Here are a couple of screenshots I found:

I think the small houses can look really nice; not sure why there's so much hate on 'em.

I think small house size doesn't even fit in for company size of 8. Those size look like personal house only.

12-20-2013, 10:36 PMArkhamNativeIt's not hate, they're just very "cozy" for more than around 5 people. Plus it looks like you can fit 2-3 small houses (1-story) into each story of a 3-story medium house. It's kind of insane how much difference in square footage there is. If they had a 2nd story or at least half again as much square footage they would be very nice for 10+ member FCs.Quote:

It's insulting for the price. Don't waste your money since you can never upgrade.

I wonder how they intend crafting benches and airship construction to be used in small houses.

12-20-2013, 11:59 PMXysticUntil I'm sure how people come and go with them, I may buy them out around our large lot for fellow FC's that play a significance in our link-shell. Many of these FC's in linkshells tend to be less then 8 players anyways so a small house would work just fine for them ;)Quote:

I agree. Even in the screenshots linked above, the small plot looks crowded. I can see it being my personal cozy getaway, but I am convinced that my FC should save up for a medium plot.

Yeah, I'm in Tantalus and we are enjoying the small house for now. Obviously, we are saving up for the large house next, it's just so prohibitively expensive at the moment. Our members wanted to get a taste of the new stuff right away and it has been a lot of fun with all the people visiting. It's been a good recruitment tool as well! The hot tub is a great excuse to get out your swimsuits!

i think too that the small plot is more a personal house than a FC house...
indeed if they had only put the medium and large for FC it will have been a trouble. you do have 7 medium and 3 large house par area, on ragnarok we have 5 area per district... means 150 house for the whole server if they had only put medium and large house for FC. -
12-21-2013, 05:28 PMNova_DresdenCurrently, though, the houses available are company houses, not personal housing. Personal housing has not been implemented yet. The small houses just seem prohibitively expensive and with limited benefit as a company house for the high price. Were I on one of the legacy servers where the price for a small plot was 40-20 million gil I would never be OK with spending that kind of gil for a small house with the ability to place 1/3 the furnishings of the next larger house and 1/4 that of the largest house.Quote:

i was comparing the size when i was saying is more a personal house.
no Group of people in any world will only rent a small house with one room... it's stupid... -
12-22-2013, 06:04 PMHiroradiusI agree, the small plots and medium plots should be personal housing, and medium and large plots should be for FC.Quote:

for 10-20 people? Looks like for 5 or less.

Small plots would be a lot nicer if they had at least a basement or upper floor. The inside is just far too small....
They do have large lawns though.
