When will you really address the housing availability problem?

A 7 year old game is going to have an entirely different set of limitations than a for the most part new one. Im sorry but if the reason characters cant get to creative is cause of memory limitations... that just makes you wonder even more about those kinds of limitations for something like housing. Im not saying its never going to happen but the idea of personal housing for all in an actual zone is highly unlikely at any time soon or at all. This could have been done sooner possibly with an extra monthly fee similar to retainer or even player hosted instances that cost immensely less gil than the public zone counterparts. Theres alot of other possibilities that wont involve memory or even server usage. SE though likes to keep everything server side to avoid hacks etc. I dont blame them but either way housing for everyone aint gonna change anytime soon.

Im all for a general situation outlook message from the devs though, they know theres alot of disappointed folks by now im sure

Only a single instance is loaded into your computer's/Playstation's memory at any given moment. So, whether you have 8 instanced neighborhoods or 5920 of them on the servers makes no difference memory-wise. I don't have to upgrade my memory every time the developers decide to add an additional zone to the game.

I agree that a 7 year old game is going to have a different set of limitations - one would think much more restrictive limits than a more modern game like FFXIV.
