Servers up no houses demolished yet

[Morbid]

If only they would, and increase the amount of items you can place in houses too while they're at it. :P I just wish there had been more information given to people other than just the people who were losing their houses. Would have been nice at least for people on higher population servers to attempt to get sleep/eat/bathe/etc. without feeling as if they're going to lose their chance at getting a house.

I believe the Live Letter mentioned that increasing housing items was on the table. Please look forward to it?

OHHHHH... the "mansion type housing" that was mentioned in the live letter... I just realized what that meant. That's a terrible translation error, and should probably have been questioned before putting it out in English.

"Mansion" in Japanese is used to describe apartment complexes. So saying "I live in a mansion" has a low income context to it in Japanese, as opposed to saying "I have a house". It's completely different from "mansion" meaning a giant private residence.

So the "mansion type" housing in Ishgard would be like instanced housing rooms, without yards or outside areas. It will likely be the same as FC private rooms, but they aren't linked to fc housing or regular housing wards. Of course, I'm just assuming that by the fact Yoshida said "mansion" as an English word.

They should probably address what they mean by the word "mansion" as soon as possible.

How about that? To have a Mansion in Japan is the exact opposite of having one in the US lol.

Don't have they?

Currently it’s being planned that one mansion will be able to hold 512 residences.

Also the mansions will be for every housing area, not just Ishgard.

That's what I assumed they meant too.

This is how it should have been from the start. It's just not realistic to have housing districts if you dont deal with vacant properties and increase the number of districts for demand.

Well daily reset has come and gone now too and still no change. I'm pretty annoyed ATM.

Days related to maintenance, server outages, or other times when the server is not operational (“Maintenance Events”) do not count towards the total inactivity time period.

But it sure counts towards your subscription time :P Sorry just had to

But you're correct, those days should also count.

It's Christmas and people are trapped waiting on the houses for hours/days, why would they do this to players? Give them exact demolition timer on the house plate or something.

Beyond it being particularly obnoxious on Christmas, long term this makes this system so awful. You won't ever know if a house has been or will soon be relinquished unless you compulsively check and keep track of the plot(s). People flipping houses to gouge others is already a harmful problem on large pop servers. Now it's only going to get worse as the average player won't be able to camp housing 24/7 to see when one hits the demolition time (after this initial period).
