The Housing Situation

[Renik]

First of all, ideas cannot be "false", at most they can be impractical or near impossible to realize, both of which I do not know if they would apply to ARR since I'm not a developer and I'll keep offering my suggestion till one of them tells me why it cannot be done.

But either way, wouldn't it be much like how Personal Rooms are handled? An FC house can have up to 512 of rooms, and there's 900-ish possible slots for FC houses in every server. That is enough memory space for 450,000 personal room instances. An housing instance wouldn't take that much more space to make it impossible to give an instanced plot to everyone.

Make instanced housing. This allows everyone to have a house

This is the false statement, which makes the rest of the idea impossible.

If you make personal instanced housing like personal rooms, just interior with no content, i guess it would be possible, rooms take much less memory it would work as ffxi housing.

But you can't just remove all the houses some people already have, and had to pay with time and hard work.

Link to the letters?

Personally I find unlikely that memory is the problem. I have already explained why.

What is the problem? Beats me. But instancing might be a way around it. It worked for FFXI. Also oddly enough, there are no limits for FC rooms (instanced?) ...

The letters are here in the forum http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/forums/644 there you can find the transcriptions, unfortunately the letters from the e3 where the response to the instanced housing is, are not archived here.

But in one of the letters between the XIV and the XVIII, they talk about the lack of memory and how they wanted to solve it with software adjustments (server structure i assume), before having to spend a lot of money upgrading the servers or adding new ones.
