What happened to 800k personal housing?

[Lollerblades]

Bad move SE. Way to go alienating your player base.

Only question I got is, is it possible to share the house with someone else ... as in that other someone would be able to modify it

Well if they haven't lied about that too, you can get married and your spouse will be able to have special permissions.

There's this from several months ago: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...34#post2110434

But it only says they were "looking into it," which, by this point, you can translate as "We're not going to deliver on it because we can't find a way to make it work - or server limitations" since they haven't implemented it yet.

I don't really care what your opinion on pricing is, whether or not you think players should "get gud" and learn how to make money.

You should be upset you were lied to. I don't care who you are. This is a blatant lie and regardless of whether or not you want a personal house or whatever, you - the customer- was lied to.

They could have warned us way before the patch this was going to happen. They didn't. Instead they purposefully mislead us about it, let people believe they could stop saving around 2.5 million and told us the exact opposite of what they were doing.

I love this game. Usually when people complain I wave them off. I run an FC on Balmung that has a Large Mansion in Lavender Beds. I personally have enough for a personal house.

I'm livid they lied to us. Flat out.

And you should be, too.

''Personal'' housing prices makes that content irrelevant to me


hmm... i wonder how much gil is selling for now in RMT sites .. <-- what many ppl are thinking thanks to SE generalizing ppls Gil rate in servers

it looks to me like they did something like this:
*Example only,
total players in server = 10
Player (1) =70 Mil gil , Player (2) = 35 Mil gil , Player (3) = 15 mil , Players 4-10 = less than 1 mil
oh look theres 120 mil + on this server, lets set prices to 25 mil ! ._. players 4-10 who are majority are screwed.

or something like that, cause i don't get it, i don't know any rich players, and i'm Legacy, playing since 1.0 launch , ive got 2.3 mil on me atm

i just don't get it, sigh, oh well, no point crying, my room in FC house will do , who needs Gardens!

I don't make many posts on the official forums anymore. Not as much as I did in 1.0, but this housing issue brought me back here to share my disappointment in not only with housing, but the greater issue spoken albeit indirectly by Yoshida and his development team.

First of all, this is a inexcusable misrepresentation of what he had planned and told his player base. End of story. Nice that you're doing something, but you should cut your patch early, implement the rest in the patch notes and start over on your housing. Anything else is unacceptable. Even with what was originally told, I'm willing to compromise, personally, but I can't speak for everyone. I would have made separate wards consisting of small houses at a fixed price of 2 million flat. Again, this is just what I would compromise to personally and don't expect it to be agreed upon by anyone. Just what I think is fair in the expense of a personal house in this game.

However, there is a huge issue that Yoshida touched upon.

The development team has been making the most of limited server resources to develop a new system that will allow us to add as many new housing plots as possible, but as we need to perform extensive optimization and debugging operations, we will not be able to implement this until Patch 2.4.

With the constant maintenance to these servers, and in order to maintain server load and it's resources --here on Hyperion it's still hard on character positioning during raids and connectivity to these servers between 8pm-11pm/12am--, I think for me at the moment it's more lack of faith in their server structure more than the promise in the vision of future content. Whether it be personal housing, large scale open world combat, or raids these servers during peak hours of the evening are still abysmal. We go back to the same issues when it comes to new content such as this: Issue with server load and resources.

Excuse me, but isn't it your job to foresee this and prepare resources needed for this large a scale of content? There are a few that are saying he and the development team had flat out lied to the player base and I think you're right, but I wouldn't stop there. I think they knew the way they structured their budget servers, and they did have a strict budget and actually still do due to all the bleeding of investors, that it wasn't going to be able to handle what they had planned a while ago. They just probably hoped things would work out if they cut enough corners, but here it is, folks. The catalyst. I won't be shocked if the wards that are said to be open for 2.4 are significantly reduced or postponed altogether.

It's almost time for my second payment of 180 days to be up. I think I might reduce that down to a 30 day and see how this pans out. You don't have to care about housing for you to see there is another issue in this and it affects everyone. Not just the housing enthusiasts. Be warned.
