Hurray! Finally saved up 6mil for my personal house!

Really priority over moving houses instead of making house available? The housing team needs to visit the 1.0 team. Both are producing a similar quality product. Serviceable but extremely lacking.

that's not what the comment was? making housing available can be done by increasing the number of wards in the 3 existing housing zones.

making housing in Ishgard doesn't just make more houses available. they want to not penalize people who currently have houses so that they can move from their current plots to the new plots if they so desire.

my FC would love to move from our Medium Plot in Lavender Beds to a Large plot anywhere but we have no ability to do that. giving us that ability opens up a Medium plot for someone else.

Many want Ishgard housing, but Ishgard and surrounding areas are locked behind 2.x (areas behind most of 3.0)

they can have joint entrances in Coerthas Central and West.

I haven't really been following this thread and just poked my head in at random, but a thought struck me when reading a few posts...

Many want Ishgard housing, but Ishgard and surrounding areas are locked behind 2.x (areas behind most of 3.0), so anyone joining an FC that has a house there would be locked away from the house. But what if they were to add personal housing only in those places? It might make some higher leveled people move out of the existing wards, leaving spaces for FC's to have plots and houses. Not a perfect solution, but a way to ease the pressure a bit, perhaps?

Thats a good point, hadnt thought of that. I wont be surprised to see Ishgard homes become elite "FC recruiting bot hardgore endgame stuff only. Ishgard home. 3.0 players ONLY!"

But this way it will always be limited. It will always be first come first served, especially on the highly populated servers. Just think of how many more homes would be opened up if we took personal housing out of the equation?

not sure why you quoted me to say that. my comment had little to do with Personal Housing. i think it's too late for them to walk back Personal Housing at this point.

There may be a limit to gil transfer, but there's no limit on the item on your pocket. You can buy some allagan gold pieces, put it into your retainer, then sell it to the npc of the server you want to be on. Or you can buy lots of clusters and sell it on the marketboard of the server you want to be on. These items always sell.
And also 6mil is not that big. You can give your retainers 1mil gil each and they will be able to carry it to your new server.

You can -make- gil if you are smart about it. I had 8 million gil on Excalibur before Balmung, I did some research and it turned out that some of the primal drops were quite a bit more expensive on Balmung. I bought those and resold them, ended up with 12 million gil after it was all sold.

What good would 50mil gil do if there are no available plots?

Sorry, i was quoting you to point out that it still doesnt really solve the problem with availability, not in the long run. I think they have to revisit personal housing, it should never have been implemented this way, its not personal at all. It creates extra stress on servers they are already saying are pressed to the max. Don;t get me wrong, the things they talked about, making transfers easier, are a good thing and might help out but then there are still many more flaws with the system to the point that people are being barred from content for no other fault then they didnt buy a plot fast enough when the servers are up. I've gone over most of them in this thread earlier but I can elaborate if you like.

Eh? Oh, I agree that housing is currently an issue. Was just regarding that other person's post.

The funny part with FF14 housing is, I identified the plot layout right away. It's identical to the Lord of the Rings Online housing system. It's not ground up coding, it's cookie cutter, bought off the shelf. Knowing that, I also know the Lord of the Rings Online housing system is a giant waste of resources. They have dozens of instances per server sitting empty. Mostly because they have an account, vault system and personal storage that is 5% the cost of housing storage upgrades and it's so much easier to make storage mules.

Honest, I'd rather see them continue to add more features to the Inn rooms and leave housing where it is. A glamor version of features we all have.

The existing housing situation is great for the FC housing. but please, give me my own plot of land in my own little instance for a personal house!
