Housing in Ishgard?

I saw mention of market boards but no new housing wards. Is this a thing? Not that it would apply to me, will new players ever get the chance to buy a house? That being said... I would like the opportunity to buy a house to participate in house only content (but no plot exist for my FC to buy...) ._.

They said already ishgard won't have housing in 3.x

They will add more wards to the current areas.

Adding housing to ishgard will basically make it impossible for new players to even go to thier house. It would be in an area with high lvl monsters.

they said they will add housing to ishgard in a future patch but not at expansion launch.

So which one is it? o.O

Don't be silly. It's much more important to create more mechanics gated behind housing than more housing.

Housing in Ishgard will not be implemented until* later patches.

Because you need alot more server space to make more housing wards then mechanics.

Q23: In the expansion we will be going to Ishgard, but will you be implementing housing areas in Ishgard as well?

A23: The war between humans and dragons is still being fought in Ishgard and it’s not really a safe place to live, so we will not be implementing housing areas at the beginning of the expansion. While we may implement it at some point in the 3.0 series, we aren’t at the point where we can promise any kind of time frame.


future patch is the best way to say it cause it's not comfirmed no ishgard in 3.x time period.

No development, and I mean zero seconds and zero dollars, should be going into improving and creating house mechanics until the housing system gets fixed.

And if it is never going to get fixed, then it should never be developed further.

I can also pI'll one up where they said FC housing would be separated personal and that personal housing would be cheaper than FC. But they have no plans to. Just a maybe.

i can also pull one up that says you misinterpreted that statement.

Creating an instanced area with several other instances inside said instance (instanceseption) takes resources that could be used elsewhere. Like for making the new areas able to hold the absurd numbers of people that are about to flood into them.

True but as it stands. No plans for ishgard housing 3.x

I'm still not hearing the reason why the sub dollars of players who can't get houses should be spent subsidizing the already existing enjoyment of players who do.

Thanks for the replies. So One person mentioned that they will be additional wards to the existing ones. This also was not in the notes so can this be confirmed?

you did miss the part that say that airship venture (coming in 3.1) will allows people outside the Fc to embark... then maybe for now it's not perfect, but they work them ass for improve it.

Gimme a moment to try and find it. Or if someone else would like to do it.

Edit: basic saying again no promise there will be ishgardian housing and telling you to look at the current wards.http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ng#post2695799

I see housing in Ishgard being unmapped, currently huge tracts of land and server space are devoted to expensive playthings for the rich and for Free Company club houses. However the bulk of players would also like their own customizable living space, it's just not possible to satisfy the bulk who cannot reasonably afford said housing. Ishgard is the opportunity to create housing everyone can use not just the rich few. Personally I am hoping for an apartment space, there is no need for a physical location for a personal space or exterior let the FC's have that it's a good feature for them. My own personal apartment space can be anywhere in ishgard and give me the creative outlet I need to feel accomplished in a game too young to have real raid content. Not to mention create a market for my crafted furniture.

I hate house cost too much and everyone that has a house gets more then 1 house so they probably have more then 2-3 housing. I say anyone that has 1 house shouldn't be able to get more then the 1 housing it isn't fair to others.

And/Or they could add gardening only plots where they could have up 6 Deluxe Garden Patches no decor and shouldn't cost to much, where anyone how has or had housing any their same account or even same IP Address cause I'm sure some mulitbox with extra accounts and stuff can't get them! Especially if they abandon them right away to try to get gardening only plots.

Kick the inactives and restrict to ONE personal/ONE FC house per account.

Housing crisis solved.

Either way all the houses will be bought up in less than a week and we will be back to the same issues we have now with no housing for anyone any where.

I gave up on housing a long time ago, never going to happen at least for me. Only for the rich and those that can get on within 5 seconds of the server coming up

They'd be bought up immediately and we'd have the EXACT same problem as right now. Kid yourself not.

At present we're better off with the developers figuring out some way to open up current housing. Adding more will just perpetuate the exact issue. Firuing out a solution to the current issue however will have a domino effect in alleviating the issue- allowing the opening of the housing to actualy have point opposed to "Lets have all the RMT buyers buy all the housing" we currently have.

I have no idea why more people do not understand this. I mean really, yeah, we kick the inactives WOOO. It gets bought up by new actives. Were not on when the houses were relinquished and get no house?

Oh, same situation, no housing open for you. Kick the inactives? Already did! Everyone is active who owns a house now! I wonder what their argument would be under that scenario.

"Kick the people who do not pull more than 40/hr a week in the game!"

Glad I have a house.

All the houses they added when they doubled up on wards sold within the first 2 hours. expect a few large houses which sold within the day. That's for balmung. It being one of the most populated servers.

That is a band-aid, not a cure.

Until SE develops the latter people who already own houses deserve no more content development than they have already gotten.

Square enix doesn't give one flip or another about housing. The housing forums have been overflowing with suggestions, ideas, and pleas from day 1 and none of them are acknowledged.

Don't even waste your time thinking about it.

They will start caring when someone from the financial department starts to question why they are paying for housing servers that contain 90% inactive accounts.

They answered thus question when Heavensward was first announced last summer. "Ishgard is a war-torn nation at a constant state of war." You wouldn't build a house on aperpetual battlefield.
