Regarding inconsistent previous statements made on the future of Personal Housing

[DefendPopPunk]

They know how much gil is in circulation and probably realized that going cheap at the start would result in people being upset about there being no land left when they logged in after work. So they instead chose to just have you all be upset with how much it all costs, since well, they did it before and have possibly grown immune to complaints about housing prices by now.

Of course, this doesn't answer the question of why Personal Housing is folded into the same wards as FC Housing, even though we were told it would be a separate market, which I would reckon is the real concern given the bizarre surplus/deficit crisis many servers face...

Oh, but I thought yoshi-p just released a statement talking about limited resources. He probably can't give intimate details about it, but the reason is probably hidden behind that statement somewhere.

True. I guess the question is ultimately up to why a game that is certainly worth millions of dollars can't afford proper server technology for something like this (which an extension, not a modification, meaning new architecture was being built from the ground up for this) or use that technology in a less static and more efficient way (such as by committing more server power to servers in need, and also why last-minute announcements are scheduled for these major releases when technical limitations are known by any competently managed software development team weeks before they start a project.
