Improvements for Free Companys & Housing Suggestion Thread

Hello, I just want to say I love free company/guild feature in Final Fantasy XIV. I never liked it to much until I found the right FC. There are something which you all had talked about in the past bringing to FC's which I would like to see, as well as other items to improve FC's and housing.

I brainstormed with my FC mates on what items we would like to be added to FC's & Housing. Housing is important to us, because we love to have a very functional and amazing looking house. Our FC spends 90% of the time at the house hanging out.

By the way because of this being so long, I have posted this below in multiple posts.
---------------------------------------------------

Thanks for taking the time to read this :) Please feel free to post if you have any suggestions that could help Free Companys or Houses.

Free Company's Specifically:

1. Please make a feature to see how long a player has been in the Free Company. As in show the days they have been in, this could be useful for people who promote members after 1 week, 2 weeks, etc. We have a large FC and quite a bit of members and their friends who are constantly joining. It is hard for us to tell who have been on for how long when some people are not talkative or very social.

2. Is it possible to make a search bar in the FC tab of the game. So if say you are like, where is Nimbus? Or when was the last time she was online? You could search in the FC tab, and it would show the character has been offline for yada-yada, a member for yada-yada, or this member is online etc.

3. More FC Buffs active in the FC at a time? For some FC's that have been around since the dawn of time, or for some FC's that have over a million credits; can they have more buffs up? More than 2 up at a time. Not asking for 10 FC Buffs. But it would be nice to have 3-5. But regardless more would be nice.

4. More House Deeds for FC's the 2-3 you had noted when Housing were released. When the housing came out, SE had stated they would like FC's to eventually have 2-3 housing Deeds. I would really like this. I understand on certain servers there are housing shortages. But, I feel by opening the Housing Districts to double the size really helped. But I think also continually adding more Wards each patch. This would be nice for gardeners as well, they could have 9 plots to garden in for the FC, for krakka root, onions, etc.

I have a link listed with the following highlighted from this page "For the time being, only one plot may be purchased by a single free company, though the ability to purchase multiple plots is scheduled for a future update." http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...26bda296b64a25. More FC Chest Box Tabs (maybe this is not the correct name, but we have 3 boxes in the FC chest). This is quickly filled up with members wanting to leave items, gear, and food for their friends in the FC to help them. I would like to have more Boxes available in the FC Chest so that we can have more items for the FC on storage (at least double, at least)

5. More FC Ranks? Possibly this would have to do with #3, #4. At a certain new rank you could have another FC buff, or acquire a new FC house, increase your boxes in the FC chests for inventory.

6. FCs to queue up for PVP Frontlines together under FC Faction versus Personal Faction? If our FC is Maelstrom, Immortal Flames, or Twin Adder; can we just queue up with our FC mates under our FC faction versus personal faction so we can play with our friends?

Housing:

1. More Housing items spots for example 200 items for a large house is very small amount of items add. Due to the walls that are added, and the basement is so HUGE its hard to fill these up. Also it would be nice to have multiple houses so people could add all the items they want. For example we like to have all the housing furniture from Coil, Crystal Tower, etc. but we have few spots left. This is one reason to have multiple housing deeds.

2. Please add the Crystal Bell, so we can have the Aesthetician in the FC and Personal Houses. This would be really nice.

3. Please add the Chronicles Book from the Inn Room so that you can watch cut scenes in your FC and Personal Houses.

4. Market board for in the house? Is this possible to make this a crafted item? Regardless if it was a full huge market board, or a like a mini table top market board? This would be nice or houses that are farther away from the Market Board in the FC Housing Districts. Also for people who hang out inside the house crafting, due to functional ability and even load times for going in and out of the house.

5. Please make it so when you go into and leave instances, you don't leave the FC/Personal House and end up outside at the front door. It would be really nice if you go into an instance while chilling in the hot tub in the basement, that after the instance is done you will be back to chilling in the hot tub. So I would like it if you could park yourself inside the house permanently, so when you go into instance and leave it, you end up inside the house after it.

6. A way to kick people from the FC/Personal House that are not in the FC? I understand we can lock our houses. But what if someone is harassing people? Or randoms decide to go AFK naked in your home? Yes we have had that issue >.> Also is there a way to kick people off you lawn, or even just lock your lawn so people will not go AFK in your lawn that are not in your FC? Is there away to add options like, Open House/Lawn to Everyone, No one except FC people, or FC people and Friends (for personal houses as well).

7. Please add a Bulletin Board, I know this has been mentioned in the past. It would be nice to leave messages for people on the bulletin board. Kind of like the recent messages that you can add for the FC. Just a bulletin board so you could post multiple messages, like here are some examples: We will have raids 1 hour late, we have a new team speak server, our fc event has been changed to Monday, We are recruiting for this new Raid Group we need these spots filled.

8. Last, which is not as important, but add the Toy Box, and other items that are in the Inn Room to Personal/FC housing.

How about adding the ability to store and display your items in your private quarters or house? Something like Skyrim that allows you to display outfits on mannequins, weapons on wall plaques/stands, etc.

What about the ability to actually sell the house to another person/fc. I've seen it spammed in PF and /shout before.

I agree with Nimbus, 100%.
