Private Moving was bugged for some people (Housing problems)

So it was stated that Moving will still be possible. I was lucky enough to be online as one of the first few people. Stood before 2 big houses and 1 medium with noone else around. But every Time i wanted to move i got the message: "Housing system currently not available" (Translated from German).

Some say it worked for them but for a majority of people it was bugged.


Thanks for another Disapointment SE

Edit: Yay Emergency Maintenance.. way to Late.

Will just add to this - I have logged in pretty much the second the servers came up. I was at the plot I wanted and no one else was there but it wouldn't let me relocate. It wasn't until a min later when someone else came who was able to buy it right away. I tried it on a different plot as well and it did the same.

Yes, exactly this.

Happened to me only person there for a good 6 mins trying to buy then Boom house appears for someone else

When hit relocate took over 5 minutes for it to catch up and show my house on the plot.

it happened to me last housing rush
i think it's more of a lag thing

when someone buys a house relocation the plot stays empty looking for a good 5 minutes before it all teleports in.

could very well have been sold and the buyers wandered off to look at other things

edit: only other thing i can think of is if your furnishings + storage exceeds the new plot's storage maximum you can't relocate but they warned everyone of that a week ago

Was pretty much instant for me.

The plot showed as purchased on the map instantly for me, but everything took about 5 mins to fully move over.

I lost a large house because of this.

I don't feel quite as bad about it after seeing how zealous the FC that ended up snatching it out from under my nose was about decorating it together, though. They had obviously been preparing for it for a long time, so I think they deserved it more then me.

I still have a moai statue glaring at the mansion from within my new medium house's yard as a passive-aggressive expression of my annoyance with the matter, though.

Emergency maintenance. So i lost a big House due to a Bug. Great.

same for us and our server wasn't even in the emergency maint.

My friend was alone in front an empty land just once after the server was available, she tried during 5 min to buy it and it was impossible. Two guys came next to her and bought it in front of her.....

We had enough Gils, we are far from the items limit in our actual small house, she had all the rights for buying it so? a simple bug? wtf

This happened 3 times to me. 2 big Houses and one mid house. Luckily enough for me, someone else lost a mid house in shirogane due to this bug wich i then purchased. At least i would not be able to explain why a mid-sized plot would be available hours after the release.

I like ff14 but SE seriously, your housing feature sux so much....and since the 1st day you made it available it's the case.

Please stop to try to find some substitute solutions and just admit it, it sux.

Hopefully it will all be fixed when the maintenance is sorted and you might still have the house! =)

OMG HI! No i dont think so since all big houses are now gone Q_Q

OMG HI!!!! :D haha, well there was still a medium in mist ward 3 if i remember correctly, maybe try there if its still open, but if you were the first person to buy it, maybe it will belong to you, did it take your money? Marize bought a small house infront of our FC house, it came up saying Owned by marize and everything went well but the placard for him said it was still up for sale, but for like an hour it said for me owned by marize, then eventually it said up for sale. But the fact it even said Owned by marize, gives me hope that if you did buy the house maybe it will still belong to you! im just hoping :D

No cause our server isn't concerned by the maintenance, but some people have still this bug.

Anyway every houses have been already sold so we just have it deeply in the "put what you want here"

I just find the general housing situation not professionnal and clever and fair.

I lost a Shirogane mansion due to this bug as well!...

When I got to the plot I wanted there was a single player already camping and he/she must have bought it or relocated before anyone else but the server was bugged and it still allowed me to select the relocation option followed by an error that mentioned the housing system being unavailable or locked!...

Not going to lie, after trying for a large house since be beginning of time, I felt utterly defeated. I guess this is just my luck that I would get this random error. Eventually, someone else came along and relocated their FC house to it, so I lost my chance. It's one thing if they are just unavailable and someone beat me to it. It's just wrong if I get there and I'm just not able to purchase because of some error, and then watch someone else come along to buy it.

Yeah, I know how you feel.

Check your storeroom status, it’s extremely easy to hit the cap in a small house even
