An Open Letter to Yoshida-san: Please Slice One Zero Off the Housing Prices

[Anapingofness]

While FC's have more people - this does not mean those people are prepared to dump all of their gil into the FC.

Nor should it mean that FC members dump all of their gil into their FC housing, as you suggest. However, as members of an FC they should be prepared to contribute a part of their gil. If they cannot be bothered to contribute then they shouldn't complain about not having an FC house.

Big thing here is the people on nonlegacy servers saying pricing is fair when they don't have to deal with the prices we're seeing on Balmung, Excalibur and others. Some perspective please, people, come on.
If 4-8 million is what my RP FC is expected to amass, that'd be one thing, but the cheapest plot on Balmung (popular RP server since 1.0) is 20 million. You're asking every 2.0+ created FC on this server to amass more than five times the amount of gil you do on yours. You are not thinking fairly about this problem at all. Most of you aren't.

Hyperion, like Balmung and Excalibur, is a Legacy server. The housing prices are the same.

I'm afraid you can't see the forest for the trees. New (2.0+ created FC's) and small FC's will have a chance to get housing.
20mil is the starting price for the cheapest house on the Legacy servers. The price will go down every 6 hours if nobody buys.
Yes, 10mil is still a lot to gather but that is why people should work as a team to gather that money.
In light of that, relax. Things will be ok. It may take a bit longer but everyone will have a chance to get a house.

Its not like people haven't been saving the last three months or anything...

right, our FC managed to save a little over 6 million, but that's a one shot deal, we poured our entire individual fortunes in there and there's none left. These amounts are not sustainable anymore, it's not something we actually earned or can expect to earn in 3 months' time, our company's actual monthly earnings are closer to 500k . I myself give 2/3rd of everything I have to the Chest, but I can't expect all my members will do the same, some will only give 1/10th of their earnings or nothing at all. most of our members are hovering around a personal fortune of 300k, it's not like we're all magically 10 times richer or earn 10 times more because our server is called Masamune

we've been keeping a spreadsheet to track our savings and our company charter accounts for compensating the financial efforts going into housing, we're serious about this, but it's just out of reach for a FC of our size.

That's my point. It's not like everyone is starting at 0, people have some money saved up. It shouldn't take too long for people to get a house, even if they have to wait a bit.

Legacy server
Charge of the house 10 times
40 million gill sparsely populated areas　(Ssize　house
Do you earn in three months why money like this has passed?

Thanks for taking the time to post on the NA forums!
Are the JP players upset about the price of housing as well?

To answer your question- I don't think the new players saved up that amount.
Although, I know some Legacy players have even more gil than 40mil left over from 1.0.

While it is expensive, it should not be too much of a problem if everyone works together. ^^

You, my friend, are extremely optimistic. I'll feel much better myself if the market prices on my server recover from the current slump.

In any case, the prices will eventually be lower, one way or another.

They are extremely upset. Here's a link with over half a million views: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...81%BE%E3%81%99

The translation of the thread title? "The Price of Land is too high."

I know of one - one - legacy player on my server who claims to have a very large amount of money (far more than he could have brought over from 1.0, given the gil slash that happened) that he primarily earned selling tomestone items at obscene prices most legitimate players could not have paid. Most of the legacy players I have spoken with have very little.

It's a huge problem, whether you believe it to be or not. For new players like myself, in an FC primarily filled with new players who have very little gil, it's a huge problem even if we work together. We already were working together and at our current rate of savings it would take us five years to afford the smallest, worst plot of land. This is a huge issue.

Yeah - by 0.14% !!! A HUGE "saving" really - and in almost 3 months it will drop max to half of original price - are you serious about that comment at all?? Sheeesh ...
