Giving up my dream of owning a house

2 months, 4 servers, and tons of time and money later, all in the search for a house, and an fc, the chances of me ever getting that are 0.
Ive wanted one ever since i saw it. i guess i care too much about gaming, considering the time i put into it. Im aware that 25th is housing demo day, and I am more nervous/excited. I'm a disabled gamer, and my caregiver gets me up around 8;30 am. I may not be able to secure a house, because I can't be one of the first people there;/
-more-

so i guess my last resort would be to ask if anyone knows of a small to medium server, that has end game? if it's small, maybe, just maybe i might be able to find a house on demo day..that or hire someone to log on before i can, and help me secure a house

Ive only had one fc, and that was a month long. we did everything together, and then they broke up..ive been alone ever since.

Super sorry to hear that and I wish there was something I can do to help, but the only thing I could suggest is what you've already said, finding a smaller server.

All I can suggest is a server such as Goblin or something. I've seen they still have houses, but I'm unsure how likely it is they have any sort of endgame.

I think you're wrong about the 25th. It's sooner than that.

Care to say when? For people who really want to own a house?

hmm dont worry much about a personal house, is just a glamour. Mostly just usefull for fc rather than personal, luxury stuff wich is pretty but thats all. better stablishes yourself in a nice fc and have fun on game.

Edit: also just 2 months in game is not much time really..

thanks for replies. does anyone know any smaller servers with some end game? ive heard about cactaur..

This was the last official thread about housing prices, but it may change by the time when the plots be free. Also most of the servers have players for end game, so check on the servers list. i would recomend make an alt on your desired server and check availabilities, how markets are and posible fc. If all looks right for you then move to it.

Brynhildr still has houses that go up for sale on occasion. One FC member bought a small mist plot for 7.5mil roughly (5mil relinquish fee, though I think he could have gone lower). Also saw another small plot for sale in lavender beds for 3mil relinquish. Plus it looks like a lot are abandoned and will go up on market with the demo day.

Currently on Mateus there are three medium houses and one large house for sale. I have seen quite a few smalls over the past two weeks go up for sale but obviously they get taken much quicker. As for your second requirement of having endgame, a lot of people will probably say that Mateus has none. While I can say that the statement is not entirely true, it is definitely harder here to find a good group than on a larger server.

The server I am on is a win, and it's a guarantee houses will be opening up. That being said though, you won't be able transfer a lot of gil on you. I think it's 2 mil on you, 2 mil on each retainer.

1 mill on you, 100k on each retainer.

Not everyone can or is willing to transfer though.

You are absolutely correct about your end game assumptions of Goblin. I left there 9 months ago. The open players of end game is a very small core group of players, just about enough to fill 3 PFs (this excludes statics). It was common place for a PF to need in excess of 3 hours to fill a team. I still keep in touch with a few players on the server and they generally state it is pretty dead these days.

OP, you can definitely buy a house on that server, and usually for a depressed price. I would also recommend join Dark Lords FC, they are a pretty cool bunch.

I can verify this, that's what it was last year when I did my transfer. Going from a mid-population server to a high population legacy server with a more competitive economy and lower prices on the market boards with that kind of limit, it was a real pain to plan for.
