Will more housing instances open up anytime soon?

[MoarLegion]

It begs the question of why all these 1-2 person FCs are investing that much time and money, both irl and in game, for a game played casually or in spurts. It's a terrible waste of time at best and just plain poor decision making at worst.

Furthermore, this game is already incredibly single player friendly, but the draw of an MMO is playing with other people, which begs the question why are these 1-2 person FCs even a reality? Again, terrible waste of time or poor decision making.

And then these people, who cancel their subs, or take extended breaks from the game at will, want SE and everyone else playing, to pay for their poor decision making and wasted time?

Typical America.

All I read is "omg people play this game for different reasons than I do???" What exactly is your point?

[gornotck]

Their point seems to be that they want people to be open to the persecution and derision of not being their own Free Company master and owning a house all by their lonesome.

Another in a BIG chain of LIES! The same one like "Two to three players by just leveling up to 50 will be able to purchase the (FC House) plot" or "We'll re-evaluate the housing prices" or "We'll not manage to increase the housing servers capacity in weeks following the (patch 2.1) release" (implying it would be a little bit later - maybe month or two or three or ...???) etc. etc. etc. It seems to me like they have some FUNDAMENTAL issue with the housing instances and / or it's linking to the rest of the worlds / servers thus all this nonsense with sky high prices and removing of the houses after 35 days and so on. With this approach I doubt we'll see personal housing "at or after 2.3 patch" or any time soon after that and the prices will be also stupidly high plus some other similar ridiculous rules will be applied to limit the uptake as much as possible ...

[gornotck]

It could be worse, I suppose. They could link all the housing of all Worlds of a datacenter together so people from all worlds could mingle and interact in the housing instances. Then how would you ever manage to buy a house?

If new housing wards are opened, it remains to be seen whether SE will stick with the current policy (price them high and let them reduce by 50% over 90 days) or change that policy in some way. Currently the prices are very near their half-price value (57%).

Supposedly when they add new housing instances, the prices will be back to 100% and we will have to wait the 90 days to be reduced.. This was talked about in the live letter pre 2.2

Running around the Rising Stones, it'd be nice if they allowed instanced rooms at the Scion HQ for people along the lines of the personal rooms coming for FC housing. Not everyone has an FC they want to live with or an FC at all, and it'll suck for them if their only option for personal housing was an expensive private plot.

It'd also take pressure off the wards, which SE seems eager to do.

Yes, I believe so. Recently I found a small plot of land has been returned from the FC, and the selling price of the land was back to 100%.

Greetings,

In patch 2.3 we will be adding the following new wards:

• The Mist, Ward 6
• Lavender Beds, Ward 6
• The Goblet, Ward 6

We’ll be making adjustments to the prices of plots for each world right up until the patch, and we will make a follow-up with this information at a later time.

Tell the Devs that we have a better idea:
Instead of a 6th Ward in The Goblet, give us a 7th in Mist.

I'm aware that they're planning to revamp it, but it'll still be connected to Ul'Dump! :P
