Multiple Housing on Same Server???

When the new housing plots had been created it was established, to my understanding, that no one would be allowed to own more then one house on any given server per account, aside of course a Guild House. Which was cool since that would keep people from monopolizing the housing plots. I recently updated my account to have multiple avatars on the same server and i was expecting that i would be able to access my house purchased on my main but I can not. Nor can i give my alts access.
Am I supposed to buy a new house on my alts and if that's the case, doesn't that make the restriction of multiple house ownership worthless if all someone needs is to make an alt on the same server?

You cannot, at the moment, purchase more than 1 personal house on your server. You can however own as many FC houses you want. The only way to give your alts access to your personnal house would be to do the friend invite/kill the XIV process but that was patched I believe.

SE is supposed to patch it so that all characters on the same shared account have shared tenant access to your single personal house. However.....they are dragging their feet on when they will implement this feature. I'm pretty sure that every player would LOVE to have alts share their personal house/houses. I know I would.

You CAN however own an apt on each alt, (providing you hit lv 50 and rank up in your GC).

So even if i have the money my alt will not be able to purchase her own house cause of the lock out? Not that I want to have to spend more money to buy another house LOL But I really enjoy having my toon have a home i just dont want to have to waste money if there's gonna be a fix on this matter

How does that work exactly? There is a way to put my alt on my own friends listing? I would like that. Its so frustrating having to use a second party to send mail to myself when it comes to old materials i dont use and need on my lower level toons. Im enjoying having alts, I find it more fun to play another class with a new avatar to have that variety of experience in races, aesthetics, even a little difference in the story at first with a different starting point. But UHG! Its a pain not having my house or be able to send myself spare materials to use. I know its possible, in World of Warcraft as long as you had the name of the person you wanted to mail you could send letters. you didn't need to have them on your friends list. and truth be told I hate having to invite people on my friends list just to mail them. Sometimes I have items i know guild mates can use ad i want to send but i dont want the hassle of having more adds on my list. Sorry, babbling here LOL . Im Cuban Italian and French so i tend to be gabby. Thanks for your help and your replies.

If you are mainly wanting to have the freedom to move mats and items between your main and alts, then your best option is to own your own FC and have all your characters in that same single FC, so you can use the FC chest, which holds 150 items. So if you craft stuff (weapons/armor, furniture etc) on your main and want to move it to your alt, you can do that. Simply put the item into chest , and log onto your alt and collect it. That's what I did for months.now, some items camt be traded through the FC chest, like bound/used armor , weapons or items that say untradable.

Well, I had thought of that but Actually what i want is for my alts to have same access to my home as if its theres and use my bells and machines that boost crafting stats and what not. Plus, even if i could use my husbands account to start an FC Id still need to raise the Grande Company affiliation, or what ever its called, to a certain level before i could make a free Company to use as a Storage/Way station for items wouldn't I? Which is just something That would take time from my main game play I cant afford with my time to play.
UHG! So frustrating. Why havnt they just done what is so obviously needed! I mean I pay for extra Retainers as it is but dont want to spend more a month that I am. WE NEED MORE STORAGE SPACE and equal housing access for our toons!. So frustrating. Anyhow, THANK YOU! Thank you for your time and patience answering my questions.

They've said in a previous live letter/interview that they have team members actively working on allowing alts to share residency, but we don't have an eta at the moment (don't expect it soon).

*sigh* Well hopefully it wont take too long. But thank you for that reply. I was just wondering if i should buy cottages for my alts or not. I prefer not and with what you said I suppose i can wait and see. Thanks again.

Even if you wanted to, you can't purchase more houses for your alts unless you have a service account for each one of them or if you have them in separated FCs.

yeah i figured as much. and i wouldn't want to anyhow. it took a long time for my to collect the money to get my cottage and then the money and time waiting to get my upgrade to the medium house. I dont want to have to buy a different house for my alts anyhow I want my house that i worked to get and decorate and no other. Its just frustrating. Im having fun having alts. The whole being able to level other classes on the same toon was boring to me. Not only that but i had no access to quests to assist in my leveling cause id already done them all. With an alt i can explore and enjoy a difference race and all their personal quirks and the quest lines and main story in a different free company. Its just fun for me that way. But i want my house too :( .
