    Looking at the numbers given in the notes, 100 people -could- work together for a small or medium property without any one person being under too much strain, but let's face it... What's the percentage of Free Companies with 100 members total, much less 100 active members willing and able to contribute? Bring that number down to 50 and you'll still need up to 1.000.000 Gil per person for just a small empty lot. It's doable if everyone is farming leves and FATEs and every other repeatable means of earning Gil, but that can still be at a month of mind numbing grind as a group.

    It honestly feels as if the numbers were pulled from the top which included the automated Gil farmers. They definitely won't be buying land, and they wouldn't be in the RMT business if they didn't have plenty of disposable accounts in case trades are traced back to them. They'll just have a booming business of people who want a place to call home in three months while still being unable to afford it on their own.

    Add me to the list of people who just had christmas ruined.

    A friend and I made a little FC just for us and all we wanted, and have been saving for since we can remember, was a small house. We didnt want a big one, or a fancy one. But now we're hosed and at our current rate it'll take 4-5 years. And even then I'd refuse to buy simply because these prices aren't sane. Same old SE... "One step forwards, two steps backwards" still fits.

    friend, these prices aren't even fore the damned house. this is just for the land it sits on.

    we have to shell out millions before we can even consider to think about the house itself.

    This thread needs to be on top of the forums about right now, but I don't know if the japanese devs will look into it, or we'll need to wait do the US reps to see it in another 18h or so.

    Anyway, up it goes!

    I'm wondering if the housing is so expensive because
    a) they don't want too many people bogging down the housing server at once so they made it ridiculous and unobtainable for testing purposes
    b) they want to easily catch RMTers
    c) once personal housing comes in, they will have used the FC housing as a test and will perhaps adjust the pricing?

    I'll just pretend that housing is still in "testing stage" for now and focus on other aspects of 2.1

    This seems to be a huge problem among most MMOs - generate a ton of hype around an awesome new patch with fun features and then find some way to crush the vast majority of peoples' expectations. Why should we expect XIV to break that mold? :P

    I am going to voice my support of this matter too. The pricing for housing has utterly APPALED me in every way imaginable. To say that the prices are astronomical would be a severe understatement. I do agree with the notion of reducing the prices by a factor of 10 as this would make the prices appear reasonable. I am also aware of the disparity between legacy and non-legacy and, whilst I understand the disparity may be necessary in the eyes of SE, I do NOT agree with it solely on the grounds that they are clearly considering only the wealthier 2%~ top of the community (most of which will probably be RMT's).
