Housing Prices Adjustments (Dec. 26)

[Naduron]

Then shit just hits the fan when the servers DO glitch or fail and people bitch and complain and they have to pay the techs overtime to fix the damned things.

You weren't in the beta test?
Cause if you were so would you have known about the stress test on the housing server during the beta test.
500-1000 of people packed inside the SAME channel and all houses were up.
And the result from the Stress test on the zone? No issues at all, no lag, low latency, no crash or glitches.

So in other words the server CAN handle insane pressure even tho that those numbers of players will never happened on the same channel cause they are split up in many instances and channels to reduce the pressure on the server.

And even tho it would be somehow.. overloaded so can SE easily fix it by adding one serve for each zone instead of one taking taking care for all instance/channel and zones.

FYI server are cheap these days.

This is completely unfair to Free Companies who've already bought a house.
We decided, as a group together, to buy a medium-size house, because Yoshi-P mentioned in one of his posts the price were final.
There would be some drops in the prices, but not so much as he mentions now.

To make the prices drop so fast in the next 6 weeks, is just completely unfair. We just submitted a ticket and we would at least like our money back..

ehh.. you can rename your house to "pre-price reduction" or something like that so you can still make your e-peen looks bigger
just like that FC who gaves their house name "server first" just for the sake of e-peen

problem solved?

Sweet if 40m is nothing you could always drop me a few "Nothings" I'd apreciate it as getting a few million takes some time for me.

I said 'on these servers' not 'in my pocket'

I have 1 mil to my name, barely, through normal play. Our FC has saved 12 mil for our house, and we're a casual, mid-core. The serious, large FC's will buy up a large house at non-legacy server prices without missing a beat, I've no doubt.

That isn't us, but we'll be able to do it in time, as intended.

I can't remember him saying (or writing) the prices would be final.
But I remember him writing this (from 17th december): http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post1685344

Typical. SE responds to the community and people are still not satisfied.

Typical. SE responds to the community with an unsatisfactory response.

Still seems a bit too high considering there's no resale/upgrade.

They haven't been misleading anyone. Yoshi himself stated that server load was an issue

No he didn't. He stated as plain as day: "Prices are set this high in order to prevent people from buying out every lot the second it was released."

Until all servers are equal i can't be bothered with this "feature".

Glad they taking a step in the right direction.

EQUALITY FOR ALL SERVERS!

"The Regulation of Starting and Final Prices

As mentioned within the patch notes, we will closely monitor land purchases, and consider revising prices as necessary according to World population and economy. Please keep in mind that prices will decrease every six hours from the opening of the servers, and will continue to drop even during maintenance. Furthermore, plots of land released in the future will never be more expensive."

[ZohnoReecho]

In few weeks people will complain that some other FC took the plot they had their eyes on.

[Huxer]

There are something like 30 lots in each development, 3 developments, 5 instances(wards) of each development... so what about 400-500 houses available? I think our server is currently using 2 of them. I'm sure another 498 free companies are likely to buy up the other plots... Yea should create a ton of scarcity and drive the market forward to create a run on housing...any...day...now.

tldr; get real.
