NOT ANOTHER HOUSING POST! Oh No!

[Crysti]

I like the idea of having everyone start out with the same plot size of land, but with housing being upgradeable. Definitely sounds much more fun and it could be a good time sink (which is a win for SE). I'm not familiar with Animal Crossing's housing, but if its anything like Harvest Moon, I loved it. You could purchase cute vanity additions/addons and extensions onto your house. I could spend hours and hours on stuff like that.

Similar to Harvest Moon! (I love both series~) You could purchase add ons to your house, basement, upstairs, side rooms, and it doesn't really get a WHOLE lot bigger on the outside.
It would definitely be a time sink! Which SE would love like you said
I'll just be holding onto my money and hope they try a different route in the future.
Hopefully they can upgrade their server loads to host more houses... One day! Dream big guys

-edit:

No, it's fair. I think they still want to do it this way - but the technical difficulties have made them delay personal housing for so long that this is their temporary answer, because they've been promising to do something since day one and housing in general is like eight months old already. That's what I'd like to hope, at least.

I hope you're right. Though with his post saying why they did it, made it seem like they're gonna keep it this way Have you seen it?

As stated in the patch notes for Patch 2.38, the plots of land available for purchase in the housing areas will be the same for both Free Company and individual buyers. The introduction of housing plots in the future will also follow this structure.

I have indeed.

Right now I don't doubt it's easier to support this method - the prices are prohibitive enough that only so many players can get in, so the idea is to meet at least that segment of the demand.

Doesn't mean they might not look into other things in the future (They may segment off certain wards in the future to be player housing only and cut down cost, for instance, in the short term), but only time will tell. I highly doubt "this is it, this is the last housing feature ever"
