This is how new MMOs DONT make it.

People whining 'OH HOUSING IS TOO EXPENSIVE' and pissing and moaning because they can't buy it right away are really tiresome.

Expecting to buy a house straight away is like a young adult moving out of his parents into a new built house of their own.

Yoshi gave us his reasoning as to why it's so expensive - This isn't it. As much as I like realism, this is a video game. In FFXI all I had to do was talk to the NPC near the Residental Zoneline, zone in and bam, I'm at my Mog house that I can decorate to my hearts content.

No 625 million gil entrence fee.

Hi, people have been saving, spending carefully and working towards housing from anywhere from 4 months (a brand new 2.0 player) to 3 years (legacy player). The really tiresome thing is clueless people like you not knowing that it's generally prudent to keep your mouth shut when you don't know wtf you're talking about.

You have 1 job to 47 and pugulist to 15 and no crafting or gathering jobs and you are talking like this? Wow man...... No wonder you feel this way. You haven't accomplished anything in the game!

oh give me a break

Meh. At least it might help with FC hopping. If I drop 4mil into my FC chest I'll probably stick around for a bit.

[coffeeking]

dying ? just because they're adding housing? i highly doubt it

What's the harm in having your own crib?

Besides the point but Lodestone is quite behind. Not saying I've accomplished everything but I'm 50 with Garuda cleared and that was within 24 hours of dinging 50.

And I could have everything at 50 and balls to the wall maxed out and I still wouldn't whine.

And your post is supposed to do what exactly? Scare me into a corner?

I still stand by my reasoning of saving up for something. And those people who have been saving for 3 years will have their house in a tenth of that time no sweat. We've been preparing for new end game content and you expect to just get the new equipment for free without working for it?

I know what I'm talking about. I'm talking about feeling a sense of pride in earning what I've acquired.

You know what I loved? My mog house in Final Fantasy XI. I made tons of furniture for it, it was beautiful, I had great fun with that feature.

Know when it was available? Launch.

Know how much it cost? Nothing.

This I agree with 100%. I just had this discussion earlier today about this. Friend of mine stated "We saw how smooth launch went lol Housing wouldn't have held at all with server issues."

Now with that said, they have been working on this game since 2006-2008? I might be wrong on the length of time but Alpha was in 2010 and they revamped it completely in 2 years time since release. However they had bigger issues and concerns to focus on housing at the time. Most of those kinks and bugs have been worked out, but they should have lumped personal housing in with FC housing or at least give personal housing first then do FC housing.

there are more important things then housing...
housing wont make or break the game, having a shit engine and poor servers do that, guess one of the main elements that broke ff14 1.0 ?, wasnt housing thats for sure, the servers broke a lot of people.
housing has never made any mmo what it is, its a side extra, all this hype will wash away for good.
