No FC room, no personal house... big deal??

I think people have a incorrect expectation of what affordable means. How many people in real life can buy house with cash?

So what is affordable housing really mean? If house are all 50K so any level 30-ish character can buy a house outright? Is that what is affordable?

Why do people fixate on 850K? That is just players that got to level 50 on a couple of combat classes. Why is that the definition of affordable?

If you want a house now, go get a loan from a FC or something, and you can surely make the weekly payments to pay it back right? That can be affordable.

there are only 3 plots per ward, currently 8 wards for each of the 3 city factions, yoshi is planning to double that in 2.4 which bring grand total to 1440 plots. This game has roughly 2 million subs and 64 servers, bringing average subs of each server to 31250. That would mean each server would need 347 wards for each city faction, and that's not including plots already taken up by FCs.

Thanks for doing the math there. Of course this is pure speculation, but say they add 2 wards per month matches SE's patch cycle time more or less, that comes to 24 wards a year and in 4 years time that is 96 wards. Has every player now even banked the 4mil or so for a small house? So you don't need all 347 right now. SE doesn't have to buy all that server hardware today, and they just need to buy enough of as time goes forward. That subscription money should be good for something right?

Essentially that's the key thing darcon, when as an FC we had to club together to buy a house it was a big thing and all contributed, but having to pay the same price for the same thing but on your own, feels like such a slap

This is an MMO. The FC should bring people together. People trying to do all things solo should not have it that easy. It is no slap. But people can choose to feel however they like.
