58Million....

So I decided to run around and see how much plots are.

The smalls are I guess ok considering it is a guildhall.......


A Large I found...

58Mil....

58,000,000.....

Are you guys smoking something?

I don't care if this is a transfer 1.0 server, that is an outrageous price.



Player housing better be affordable.....

You can't sit there and boast about a game feature and then make it so grossly out of peoples hands...

You are aware when FC housing launched it was well over 200mil for a large house on legacy servers...right?

FC Housing is meant to be expensive because of the fact that not 1 person but the FC should come together to reach that goal for the house. Personal housing is meant to be well..personal lol. so naturally that cost will be much less.

This isn't something you're going to achieve on your own.

A large FC will be able to purchase a large house with ease, if you consider FC's with 100-300 members, if each chipped in between 50-100,000 the house would be a simple easy purchase.

When they were first released, Large plots were 628,000,000 on some servers. That didn't include the house, only the plot.

sorry mistyped. xD
i mean when f. housing came out, ppl were pretty pissed, got perm forum banned coz of it coz it was too damn high lol.
i agree, with u. the prices are still pretty high but its hella alot better than what it started out to be...

how can u consider that expensive? That's for a large amount of people . Me and my GF are in a 3 man guild, and consider a small house too small and cheap and are probably gonna go for 18m medium house. in like 1-2 weeks me and my gf have 5m from just fillin up the retainers everyday. I admit we love crafting and the marketboard, but unless ur selling EMs, u gotta craft...Really, 58m is nothing to, say, 10 ppl? Each person save 6m. 20 ppl could faceroll a large house @ about 3m each. Could take 2-3 weeks, but come on, it's a space in an mmo, it's bound to take some effort , and in all honesty, making gil is so easy, very little effort is involved....

To be honest the small fc houses really need to be much larger. I get claustrophobic in my fc's and I don't have claustrophobia irl.

I wouldn't give small houses an upstairs but the ground floor really needs to be twice as big.

"Housing is too much!"

Yet if you go to most servers (especially legacy ones that bought before the price drop), the wards are completely packed, and all of the large plots are taken.

I've seen small plots going for only a couple million, which is how much I expect the personal plots to go for.

this type of thread is so 2.1

Ment to be expensive? Or cater to the 1%? Small houses are 2-3 mill (non legacy) which a single person can farm up with little effort in a month or two.

MED and LRG houses are severely priced out of range. The gap between SML and MED is just insane.

my fc has had a large house on a legacy server for a while now. they ran treasure maps or something, I don't really care about housing stuff.

Luckily for you there are some nice people willing to sell you some gil. Just wait for about 2 seconds and Dfgfdgd Fdgdfd will offer you 1000k for a decent trade. Please don't be confused and associate him with Dfdghd Fgdgfd as they are not related and the latter is an rmt bot. /sarcasm

Actually no.

Free Company Housing is like a ghost town in Legacy servers before the price dropped.

For a large FC house, it is expected size is roughly 100+ If each person donated 100k that's 10mil right off the bat. It's also something to get over time. Our free company just got ours a weekish ago and we just took our time with a size of 100+ active members in all timezones (international FC). 1%? Anyone can do it if ya tried, heck you get 250k+ just by doing the main storyline ( and I still have my allagan pieces figuring it will be used for currency of sorts in the future LOL).

Umm.... considering that if you completed every challenge in your challenge log each week, that alone would net you a little over 50K a week, it's really not that hard for a small group of people to raise the funds for a Medium House. Yes, a Large house would take longer (or more people)...but it should take longer.

14.8 Mil is the cheapest Medium house on my server.

10 People only donating a completed Challege Log of gil earnings each week = 50Kx10=500K a week. This isn't money from anthing other than the challenge log.
At even this rate, you could buy the cheapest Medium Lot in about 30 weeks....by doing nothing out of the ordinary, grinding nothing, selling nothing, farming nothing etc. And I am going to assume people would actually work a little harder than that for a house they want.

My FC (128 members, majority didn't donate) just bought a large house today. It's doable with a bit of effort.

58m for big is fine , large house designed for large FC (assuming ppl's will put donate for it)
15~m for medium , for low man (we with wife actually made FC for buy house , about got it , few m left :D)
2m for small , lol it can be done solo in 2 days ; ;

it a waste of time to bother getting a house anyways its cosmetic.

1 month for 1 million (there are already enough gil sources outside of the MB for it)
M house for M guild (~ 18 members ) = ~1 million from each member
L house for L guild (~50 members) = ~1 million from each member

Because people knew that it would drop after Yoshida wrote about it end of december. Why buy a large hose for 350m if you can get it for 50m after the planned price fall?

Neverless, the prices were so high at the beginning so that the plots are not sold out during the first 2 weeks. Now that the prices dropped the plots got sold out in a rapid speed on legacy servers.
