Critical Feedback: Housing is not for Casuals

[Darkstride]

You see you CAN earn a house casually. However if it is not a TOP priority for you as an individual you\\'ll find the goal unreachable.

I think the bigger issue might be that there are no houses to buy because a single player can buy a bunch on multiple characters. A casual player who does not log in daily, and only when they have the free time, might (and probably did) lose the opportunity to even buy a house, regardless of having the money to spend.

Purchased my home 3 weeks after player housing became available... I did not get the ward I wanted, nor the plot I wanted... not even the city I wanted. I didn't even get a nice locale in the ward/city that wasn't my choice..

Once again... a priority. I wanted a house.

The problem really isn't housing here... the problem is, many of you are not OK without getting exactly what you want.

Don't assume your server conditions are the same as elsewhere.

On Adamantoise, for instance, we have absolutely 0 issues with all the houses selling out. I don't even think all of our small plots were purchased from 2.38 yet, nevermind the 2.4 additions. A glance over the subwards at the moment shows me that a lot of them are still empty or near empty.

HOWEVER, Adamantoise is also on the lower end of server size. Lich and Phoenix have twice the number of players we do. Balmung notoriously has had all the small plots sold within minutes of any opening up, every single time - because there's that many people that want housing and have the money, because it's an incredibly active server. In these places, it's not that they have to settle for less ideal housing locations - it's that there literally aren't enough Small plots to go around for player demand (and medium plots cost another 6-10x as much)
