I've been a player off and on for a bit, and one of the strange things I've really come to enjoy is player housing. I like seeing how people decorate and the creativity it gives you. The housing mechanic is really well done and I'm impressed with the games direction on this.
What I don't like is as a somewhat newer player, I have zero chance of ever owning a home outside the FC bedroom. I've dropped about 4 million gil on this and really want to have my own perm home. I've scoured all the FC housing zones for available plots, but it just never happens. It really takes away a huge part of the game for me knowing that there is zero chance..
When will the rest of us finally have a chance?
Needs more housing availability

I found a Goblet house open this morning, I didn't snap it up though cause the plot was a medium. I'm waiting on a large, which likely means waiting til 3.3.

Yoshi has said in 3.3 they are doubling the number of wards in each housing zone - "Look forward to it" - then the ishgard apartment Housing comes in 3.5

Beyond that Ishgardian housing is confirmed to be coming after the conclusion of the Dragonsong War. The war is likely to end in 3.3 so expect that in 3.4. There is no 3.5 in the 3.X patch cycle; this was stated at 3.0's launch as they want to release the next expansion sooner. -
02-24-2016, 04:58 PMSerendairWas said in the live letter before the last one that we get more wards in 3.3 for old housing areas how many though was not confirmed. It also was said that Ishgard housing comes after the new wards with a set timeframe of "after Dragonsong War ends". The apartments didn't have a set timeframe yet. I would like a source for that information too please. If it's true that's actually exciting news.Quote:

Yes, there is a problem with housing, but I found a small plot on lavender beds (Cerberus) this morning after three week of checking. Look every day, you'll eventually find something.

02-25-2016, 02:44 AMNexbezhulThe last two weeks i also saw two or three houses getting free. This is really nice for the 3 players, that had enough luck to catch one of them. But this is no solution for the housing problem. There are so many people having no house, getting more and more frustrated. And if you can be online only in the evening hours like i am, you will never have a chance to catch a house.Quote:

On Leviathan there is never any housing open. It's been booked for a long time... I've checked for months.

02-26-2016, 02:13 PMLolli282I'm the proud owner of a small house in lavender fields after seeing one open this past Sunday night, it was 11 min till a price drop but I didn't wanna risk someone else coming by and bought it full price. It can happen but you have to be lucky when looking at the housing wards, if there is a gavel go check it out right away.Quote:

Can we stop these threads already? Yes we know it now. Not enough houses for every player in the server(duhh)
They're not gonna add anything untill they feel so, they already said they will add it in the future, no amount of tears will solve anything.
All you can do is wait and be patience or hunt/buy a house from someone else. -

No, that's terrible advice. We've just had reclamation introduced. If people keep quiet and patiently wait without giving feedback, then how are Square going to know there is still a problem?
Housing is promoted as a major feature of the game, a lot of content is tied to it and yet we only have enough housing for a tiny proportion of the population.
I'm delighted that the apartment style housing is being introduced in a future patch and that more wards are being planned for a future expansion but I don't think it's going to help anyone if players who can't get a house now just 'hush up' and stop complaining. -

Right. As they say, the squeaky hinge gets the oil.
-
03-04-2016, 11:45 PMYoukulmHave to agree with you. If the player base is quiet about a problem, SE will assume there is no problem.Quote:

Don't be discouraged Malsidious. Hopefully your day of home ownership in Eorzea will come! -

Hopefully by then they will increase the amount of items you can decorate with. :)

If you are and "on and off" player as you say it may not be worth it as if you decide to take a break for a couple months they will seize your property. Just a thought before you drop all that money on one.
