Make a FC and get a house

From what I am seeing from the 1st wave of the lottery and even with the set back there are plenty of free empty plots so I encourage everyone to make a Fc. A house will be waiting for you.

Couple things.

1. FC has to reach a certain rank(not really hard to do, but can be a deterrent to some people)
2. Need enough people in the FC once you reach that rank.
3. Correct me if I'm wrong, but FC must be 30+ days old to be eligible for entering the housing lottery.

LOL you make it sound so easy if your fairy tale was the case everyone would be doing it. its literally another trillion steps to go + luck to go before u can own a plot or be fortunate enough to own one.

Even if I met the requirements to buy a house, I’m a compulsive spender when it comes to my Gil and I’ve never had more than 2mil.

That's my point there will be a house waiting when you are finished with the prelims

Then I guess you don't want a house. Same as in rl you have to work for it

Making gil doesn't take much work though. It's more time consuming than it is actual work.

most people work by the hour and everyone knows .... time is money

Outside Materia servers, like Ravana where the OP is and Zurvan where I am (just to name 2 of them), I don't think that there would be many FC plots left after the required 30 day wait then another 10 days on top.

I'm in ward 16 on Sophia and I'm the only FC in that ward at the moment. Would be nice to have neighbors.

And seriously I make FC's so I can share a house with my alts and a few friends. It's really a problem that alts can't share a house after all this time.

Can't buy them anymore, because you have to be in the FC for 31 days to be able to get Master rank, likewise you can't Promote members unless they are 31 days in it as well.
Personally, I'd make it 90 days.

You need to wait 31 days since creation of the FC before you can enter the Lottery, the Master must also be in the FC for 31 days by default, and then the FC must be Rank 6 or more and also it needs four members, it doesn't matter how long or what level the other 3 members are, so really, it's just the wait and that is good because many people want instant or nothing.
Unsure if say, you join an FC, you wait 31 days to be promoted to Master, does it then make to you wait another 31 days before the new Master can bid?

At any rate I see little point to be in someone else's FC anymore, make your own and get the housing and workshop stuff! then you can add your Alt's and use chest to exchange items and such, while not having to worry about dramas, stolen items and Gil and the fact you can't even chat while across worlds.

Hands down the best response that captures all my thoughts, thank you

Watch SE flip things so Wards 1-18 are personal and 19-24 are FC on May 17th so all those making last minute shell FCs have almost nothing to choose from.

I'm not sure why they just didn't do FC's only for rounds 1 and then open all the wards to everyone for round 2. It would have only been a few days and not something like what they did on Spriggan and Twintania where is was a few months. This would have given FC's more than a chance to get a house for their members.

It was FC only/relocations only for a time followed by a switch over to free-for-all. Been so long I can't remember when it was though. That's the sad state of housing. I can't even remember when they added plots last. lol

Seems to work for the RMT/Reseller accounts.

Might have to make a few hundred FC's with burner accounts for later.

I love how you keep making assumptions. Even after being proven wrong.

Yeah, exactly, this person buying goblet 2 isnt RMT or a reseller in any sense. They are just aiming for the flex and world first.

After all, an RMTer would be going after the highly valuable plots. LB 11/41 - Mist 5/35 - Shiro 30/60 and so on. Not grabbing a Goblet 28.

And with so many Materia houses available for everyone right now, it's not a big deal and not even worth the salt some people have.

After the first round, many people on Materia who tried will have one, and those on Materia who sadly missed out will be close to certain next round.

Yeah its all a conspiracy right.

Just like how EVERY server on OCE, has the exact same style of named FC's with level 1 leaders, all buying the exact same houses in Goblet Ward 2?

Im sure a totally legitimate player can afford to buy 2-3B worth of houses (Yes, every other plot in those wards have 1 bid on them, most likely from the exact same person).

This is an RMT/Reseller without a doubt.

You are wrong. Sorry not sorry.

And it's not hard to earn gil. In my almost 90 days on materia I've earn't 62 million, normally about 1 million a day in marketbaord sales on Materia. On my NA server I was earning more.

The player doing this has likely just imported old gil from their NA server.

But, give them salt, that's what they want.

As to those Goblet Ward 2's in OCE , SE will be looking very carefully at every plot in the game while analyzing the lottery screw-up and how to fix it, so those plots will get a very bright light shone on them. I would expect Yoshi to direct his special operations team to do a thorough background look at the approx 300 sub accounts and 4b+ gil needed to sustain those FC's and acquire those plots.

I don't doubt there's nefarious stuff happening with that, but just curious as to whyyyy they would make it so obvious? I'm assuming those are different FCs, but using the same tag. Why draw that attention to yourself in a system that is probably going to be heavily scrutinized for awhile?

"working hard" to get a house ? Is that a joke ? :D

As it is irl, it has little to nothing to do with personal merit or many more peoples would own a house ig and irl.

Most of the young peoples that just got into active life won't be able to own a house ever that's just a mirage that go even farther each years that pass (at least in my country can't speak for other but i doubt it is that different).

As for in game i don't think i "worked hard" to get a house, i was just there years ago and it was a lot more easier to get one (as it is irl ironnically)

Same for my relocation, i just got lucky and there is nothing more about it.

here are some easy steps for home ownership both ingame and irl :)

1) win the lottery

Its actually ashame that it again comes to those that are willing to abuse the system will get the rewards. It might not be against the rules to make of have a shell fc but i cant help but feel it does go against the intentions of this but really i would find it very hard to believe that the final fantasy team would not have seen this coming. Just like the old system that basically encouraged botting what happened here encourages this.

I would get an honest belly-laugh out of that if it happened.

Making Gil in the game is not hard. However making 62 million in 90 days or less will take effort. That said, making the money required to purchase a small house between lotteries is entirely doable.

This is the route to go. I've had my own solo FC for years just for the extra storage, and recently my gf started playing as well. We've already invited a few members who are willing to stick around at least until we win a lot. Once you own the property, there's no need for extra players anymore. They won't take it away because your membership falls too low. The problem is that someone with moderator access to the plot has to step foot in it once every 60 days or they demolish it. I lost a FC and a personal house like that while I was on break to go back to college. Came back to no members, an empty FCbank, and no houses. And then they stopped demolitions right before I was able to return to the game. Just ugh with these people sometimes. Anything and everything they can think of to keep from just buying enough servers to support this antiquated system, allowing everyone to have a plot. Guess the stockholders are getting greedier with all the record profits and sub numbers. It's obvious they have no intention of funneling any of those new profits into correcting anything. Makes it hard to stick around and want to keep giving them money. I'm trying to just be patient like everyone else, but the number of disappointments keeps rising while the content keeps getting slacker and more dumbed down. If my gf weren't here now, I would've been gone at 90 when the ridiculously long movie we paid for was the only xp I needed to hit cap. Time will tell.
