Plots are gone again in 15 min ty sq

i cant buy i Big Plot again in 15 all were taken in Shirogane

Large plots will always go fast, afterall they are the most sought after with the least available. I doubt all plots are gone though.

on Ragnarok they are all gone

You would think se would learn by now adding more wards isn't the solution, making all plots any size for inside at least would be much better use of resources.

Didn't check other areas but shirogane has only a couple larges. It is mostly smalls and still lots of smalls left. On Balmung larges were gone in under a min since they were gone before I got on.

What if I told you, there was a time when dozens of plots in all the major cities (except Shirogane) were available? What if I told you, there were so many plots available, for such a long period of time (months), that I could casually house shop over a period of weeks at my leisure? You'd say I was playing a different game, right? Well I wasn't.

I'm going to tell you the secret to buying a house - house shop at the end of an expansion or a content drought, when -no one- is playing the game, and SE rolls out the afk houseowners. It may take a year or two, but if you think there's a content drought, log on and look. It happened (not on the grand scale I described above) just a week or two ago. There were a few plots available in Limsa. I know you're trying to get a mansion, and I don't think I've seen any of those available, but there were plenty of medium and smalls if you're just wanting a house.

I hope this tip helps others as well.

Gone on Leviathan but that's to be expected since there are what? 3 large plots in any area? I tried to get on fast enough to get a large plot for my fc but wasn't fast enough. Looks like my FC will be staying in our medium house. They really should make the large houses (and mediums) for fcs only.

This wasn't the case on Hyperion, and many other servers. Houses are snapped up as soon as they become available :(

And then they empty out again, plenty of plots become available during content droughts, especially the big drought at the end of the expansion.

Trying to get one on the day they're added is a horrible lottery.

Honestly, it really wasn't the case on Hyperion, even in the Goblet. As soon as a plot became available, there'd be 10+ campers there within moments.
Houses were never really given a chance to just sit so that one could leisurely stroll through and buy them. Glad you had that experience on your server though. :)

It's almost like the housing and acquisition system in this game is dogshit.

i got myself a beautiful oceanfront home in shirogane :) happy with my purchase. there's still plots open on the 3 new wards too.

I mean, Cerberus isn't a quiet server, but that is essentially exactly how it happened for me.

Strolling through Goblet one day and a plot right by the pool was just there, empty, no campers, nothing. Even the timer had run out. That was the best plot, IMHO, but it was by no means the only one.

Not that any of this is an excuse though, the housing situation is still bad, you shouldn't have to wait a couple years for a really long content drought in order to buy a videogame house. That's literally longer than it takes to get a real actual house in the real world, in a lot of places anyway.

Yeah a lot of the FC's I'm aware of that were wanting to upgrade to a Medium or Large have been reporting that a lot of them were snatched up by people moving their personals. It kinda defeats the purpose of letting FC's have the first crack when anyone with a personal can just up and move at the same time.

All medium and large plots on Cactuar were gone before I could even log in. Ah well.

Godsdamnit, I thought the housing would be at least a little bit delayed, my internet is slow so it takes hours update. Looks I won't be getting that house in the lavender beds I wanted T^T
I still have 118mins to wait to get in, due to the slow download speed :/

Ah well, at least I still have a medium in the mist. I'll just have to make do for now, and keep an eye out for if the house opens up in the future.

twintania still has hundreds of free plots, including plenty of large ones :D

I'm so glad you got a house :D I have had one for a long time, since before the purchase timers were implemented, and it's hard watching friends remain perpetually unlucky. I will always advocate for a better housing system because what we currently have, even though I have greatly benefited from it, is only good for the few.
