Please tell us the REAL REASON behind the differential land price.

[Lanceton]

* Pricing for Legacy Worlds has been set higher due to the greater amount of gil in circulation compared to newly established Worlds.

This 'explanation' doesn't really explain anything... we deserve to know WHY exactly the decision is made like this, if you want us to accept an up-to-90% defacto depreciation of our in game currency.
People are guessing, but what about an honest REAL ANSWER from the dev team?

You have more gil.
Prices are higher.

It's the real reason, and it's sound, the problem is the prices are too high across the board.

The real reason is, they like to laugh when they see 50 threads about the same thing

[Claire_Pendragon]

They only want so many groups having a house. (To be rare, and something you like a feel special snowflake for.)
They also want you to work UP to getting a house. (They dont want everyone buying a house on day 1)

For both of those to hold true, you need to adjust prices in servers that started with more gil.

Please tell me where is all this gil I'm supposed to have? Because my screen shows 21k on me, one retainer has a big fat 0, and the other has about 6k.

Incorrect, we have the same amount of gil and prices are lower. What we *don't* have is simple.

XIV's server didn't bother to check the authenticity of LUA scripts, so enterprising people used that to tell the server "give me X gil" which the server did (amazing programming there), when SE became aware of this they banned all the rich people on non-legacy and removed the gil, just in case. They didn't do that with Legacy because there were a fair few people who already had 10's of millions from 1.0 so the exploited gil is still in the system on Legacy servers, so we're paying for people exploiting the game.

Wait, we're not allowed to talk about that, are we?

You have 21k, I have 2 million since 1.0, some people I personally know have 10, 20, 50 million.

The money situation on the servers is messed up. Not helped by the bugs, bots and exploitation which was rife at launch.

This will push players to RMT. Some to sell their gil, some to buy it. How poorly have you managed player expectations SE? What a let down.

Your economy has more money.

I have 1 million gil and I've hardly even tried to earn.... and I've not even played that much. I have one job at 50 with +1, and one profession at 50 with HQ gear. I'm not saying that to boast, I'm just amazed people are having difficulty earning gil.

Of course, if you simply don't have time to play then I understand, but that should answer your question for you.

[KogaDrake]

its simple, we all know that server transfers are locked from legacy/new worlds because of the vast differences of gil between servers. We know until the economies are closer together this restriction will not be removed. with the vastly different costs of housing, this will be one way to quickly pull out the masses of gil on some servers to make everything closer between the servers so server transfers can be unrestricted sooner as many people have been asking for.

Even given this, i think the prices are a bit too high.
