Housing system: Land race

[Bluevann]

I too have lost my chance at our FC plot because we couldn't get on in time I hope to see new wards soon...

Will be be able to have our own gardens in personal housing?

Hope so, as far as I know outside gardening (or paying over price on the MB) there is no other way to get the food for your chocobo raising. I would be happy if at least we could get some vase for indoor use that would let us plant, even if only 1 plant per vase.

A window garden with three slots would have been perfect and easy to add.

Yea that would of been nice too.

I totally agree with OP.

Unlike your FC though, we managed to purchase a small plot months ago. Still, we were left with no choice other than The Goblet (we all wanted to go to Gridania or Limsa for various reasons).
We still got it only to accomodate ourselves until more wards would be released... which too forever and all the plots were gone in an instant.
Now, we would gladly relinquish our plot to get a larger one in Gridania or Limsa, but we'll never be able to at this rate.

The bigger plots are even more expensive so we need to wait for the price to come down, but bigger FC just grab the lot at whatever price.

Honestly, there should always be a new ward added immediately when they are 90% full.

If the same thing will happen with private housing, the dev's better put it off for a later date and prepare a HUGE amount of wards.
This is just ridiculous to lock out players like this or be forced to pick a location you don't like much.

Private housing will be setup just like FC housing with land, so all signs point to yes.

I hope so because if SE doesn't add alternative methods for people to get chocobo feed (and even magicked brooms!) there's no way that the current gardening limitations will allow enough chocobo feed to all chocobos in a given server.

Hoepfully, krakka seeds have a 99 yield or something, because this is ridiculous.

So much this. If an old clunker like LOTRO can pull it off why can't this modern masterpeice?

[BroodingFicus]

All the concern addressed are the same ones that have worried my FC:

A. Will there ever be enough plots to go around?
B. Will personal housing be more of the same, thereby locking us out yet again?
C. Even if its not, unless it has all the same features as an FC house (gardening, chocobo stable etc) most would prefer to just be part of an fc house and have a private room now that that is readily available. So what is personal housing going to solve?

I'm grateful for the response by the dev team however I'm not quite sure what the number of wards for FC housing has to do with the number of wards for Personal housing months down the line. If its an issue of servers etc my feelings are the same as the others have mentioned. I somewhat wonder why a product was released if the servers can't handle making it available to everyone who has worked for it as you intended.

[Piddles]

The number of wards for housing, FC and Personal probably are linked in someway. For whatever reason that we have to wait, I am sure it is a good one...
