Please Make Private Room Purchase a One-Time Fee

[Parz3val]

Bought my Private Room, left the FC, went to a new FC & found out I had to dish out the 300k all over again.

Kinda unnecessary.

Why? That doesn't make any sense. If you leave a plot, you have to purchase a new one. No refunds. If you leave your FC and also your private room, what sense would it make for it to magically transfer your payment there? It would promote FC hopping, that's pretty stupid.

^not everything in a game or MMO is about making sense. An Onion wouldn't be worth 500k if it were. If everything made sense, the game wouldn't charge me 300k for a room at all.

In many games, you unlock features one time that carry with you.

And people will change FCs regardless of this change. You can't be serious.

The fleeting nature of FCs is the reason why I will never drop so much gil on a personal room.
I rather rent a room at the inn.

Why not? See it as the cost of actually building the add-on to your house :3 Since the room didn't even exist prior to you buying it.

Except everyone shares that same add-on through some magical Narnia portal.

The magic could explain how our Personal Room transfers into our new FC Estate.

When private rooms for FCs were created they did say explicitly what would happen if you leave your FC. None of the money is refunded, I believe it was created so that you would not FC-hop(what millions of people did to get the best loot and statics in WoW).

[Ditto]

Do people really think that dangling a 300k private room over someones head will prevent them from FC hopping?

People who FC hop, probably wouldn't want a private room to begin with. At least not for 300k.

Well, with the amount of work I have put into the FC I will not be leaving. I would assume others would feel the same.

Buying a private room requires no work.

If other work you've done for the FC is whats holding you down to that FC, then it isn't private rooms holding you down now, is it? A private room would be a quick excuse as to why you'd tell someone you're really not sure if you want to leave your FC or not, that is usually all. But if the value of the private room outshines whatever reason you're wanting to leave that FC to begin with, you're probably not an FC hopper, or the very reason you want to leave it isn't that big.

FC hopping isn't just leaving a single FC for whatever reason to join another. Everyone does that, some people just don't click with some FC's, be it drama, it isn't what they're looking for, or perhaps they got offered a position in a static with another FC.

FC hopping is "bunnying" through them.
