Stood up all night for this.

After spending the night awake, and camping the launcher since 8 AM server time, only to find myself stopped by a random login queue, and only to login, while every single mansion was already taken, when all of my FC was hopeful to get there, I am writing this to voice my EXTREME displeasement with how this was all handled.
If I'd lost a fair race, I'd be at peace with this. But neither me nor anyone I know even had a chance at trying. It was just " I guess it's like they never introduced houses anyway".
Everyone I talked with is in agreement that this just killed the mood for this patch.
Especially knowing that half of the lucky people that got houses will now take advantage of this to make a profit out of desperate people, as you can already see in PF.
I dearly hope something is done to correct this. 12 wards are obviously not enough for the amount of people in-game, and this was already known to be the case before this patch.

Same me! any houses is soooo fastest all solds! it's not fair, that's why I made forum before..... till today still no add wards more than 12th Wards, that's why we need more for 30 wards or 50 wards will good fair and peace because this is 10 million players all server that's why! I made forum before for more wards! this is become chaos! a lot PF looking WTB!

Same exact thing on Ultros I logged in to see about a new FC house for my people and sure enough. Every plot of land is taken up by private persons not a single FC house in the area. And we all know there are people with 8 alts that each hold one of those houses. We are all very discouraged. Its frustrating knowing they have a lot of players but still make so few wards and plots

Yeah IT'S NOT FAIR! SO FAR!

Behemoth's were gone within 5 minutes. I spent 4 logging in..

I actually already cancelled my sub over this. Not only was the housing thing HORRIBLY mishandled, they decided to insult the veteran rewards players by nuking the entire system and giving the stuff that they said "Thanks for subscribing so long with us" with and just gave it to everyone. Absolutely unbelievable. I feel like I paid a sub to be insulted. Good riddance.

Malboro, preferred world... larges were gone under 5 minutes, everything else for about 10-15 minutes. Way to start the patch. I was preparing for months and nope.

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ill-more-Wards I tried ask GMs before..... now happened it's not fair so far :(( we need more than 30 wards

This game would need waaaay more wards and also to crackdown on players who buy/sell plots if they weren't going to instance everything, like.. Oh... I dunno... EVERY OTHER MMO. :/

Took months ahead of time grinding the gils I needed and got booted out of the game the moment I got in saying "server error". And just like that my time spent in the game was wasted.

Same here Shirogane was cleaned out instantly on Cactaur. To add insult to injury the log in button stayed red for like 6min when i went to log in then got a 900002 right before I got in and got stuck in queue all over again. All that on top of the taking forever to zone in >=T

Were they? I didn't know because I was in login queue for 20.
