[ZReport]

Um.... really?

Yoshi's original statement was "While I cannot give a specific date on when personal housing will be implemented, I can say that prices will be completely separate from free company housing, and, naturally, far more affordable".

I'd call that straight up BS... aka a lie.

It is actually far more affordable. Here's a pricing chart with your server used as an example (Gilgamesh):

5th Class => 1st Class Plots

Free Company Housing Before Devaluation:

Small 	8,000,000       8,500,000 	9,000,000 	9,800,000       10,000,000
Medium 	30,000,000 	31,875,000 	33,750,000 	35,625,000 	37,500,000
Large 	100,000,000 	106,250,000 	112,500,000 	118,750,000 	125,000,000

Personal Houses Before Devaluation:

 
Small	4,000,000	        4,250,000	        4,500,000	        4,750,000	        5,000,000
Medium	30,000,000	        31,875,000	        33,750,000	        35,625,000	        37,500,000
Large 	70,000,000	        74,375,000	        78,750,000	        83,125,000	        87,500,000

Personal Houses After Maximum Devaluation (After 30 Days):


Small	2,000,000	       2,125,000	        2,250,000	        2,375,000              2,500,000
Medium	15,000,000	       15,937,000	        16,875,000	        17,812,500	       18,750,000
Large 	35,000,000	       37,187,500	        39,375,000	        41,562,000	       43,750,000

We didn't even get to see any devaluation at all because everything was bought up on most if not all servers within the very first day of implementation. Which in lies the true problem, A lack of wards & plots. Once land comes available and devalues properly without incident, even a small plot of land will be affordable to the most casual player. To go further, under full devaluation, a large plot of land in the 1st Class area would be 18.8 million gil cheaper for a personal house than the same plot for a FC house.

I'm sorry you feel poor, but not everyone has your individual problem. The prices are indeed completely separate from free company housing and far more affordable.
