Just looking to verify the exact date / time that houses will open, from second # 1

[Helosie]

I hate the fact that we don't know which houses are going up, but also like it at the same time.
I still have nightmares from archeage cause they posted when a plot was going up and 50 billion people camped it.

I'm not sure why the date and time are so mysterious a secret to guard. Pretty much can't pick a worse day and it was presumably chosen for this exact reason. The question is, why?

As someone said, demolition time is likely different for each server. Balmung has crashed a few times and we even had a rollback recently, so I've no idea how that affects the situation. It's possibly set to a server uptime that's fixed, but every maintenance since 3.1 will delay that. We just ... don't know. I already have a house, but I honestly can't think how this could have been handled worse. It's terrible.

Community teams are on holiday now though, so don't expect anything to change. :/

I can has your house for Christmas? I'll stay here all day long. It's the happiest gift for my fc, I'll take your house, take your house, take your house. It's beginning to look a lot like FF killed my Christmas. Lots of hangry posts from the hungry turkey and ham gobblers of the glorious world of FFXIV and not a singlePOST ON WHY IT'S NOT RAINING METEORS ON THESE VACANT PLACES!
I've been waiting patiently since prepatch. BUT! I've been making a list and checking it twice to make sure I can give my fc a nice house.
The age old question now is WHERE'S MY HOUSE SQEENIX?! You wanna fite?! I'll fite..I got all day. And a box full of mini trix to keep me company.
So come at me squeenix,IM RIPPED!
(Also, it would be generous of you to just give us a freaking date and/or time that the BEGINNING. Of housing demolition starts! That's all we want!)

Yeah but like you said each sever different so just cause someone thinks be 25hr extra with all the maintenance since 3.1 doesn't mean same for each cold be 25hr for my world but someone else who crash or was down for some reason could be 26-28hr or more

I'm not sure why the date and time are so mysterious a secret to guard.

The most probably is because neither SE knows it, if that is implemented a timer per plot, so if the server down time not counts so that is not full maintenance time, its mostly just a brief time from each maintenance because mostly servers are just down while upgrading, but them up while admins does their tests, so that time will vary per server and mostly per plot.

I give you this

I hope a Christmas themed Odin flies overhead and cleaves the abandoned houses in half. I'd stand outside to watch THAT type of demolishing.

I can't really see it turning out well if Squeenix was to actually announce when each house was up for demolition. I'd be afraid of gold farmers using their black magic to buy up all of the properties to resell for 100m each. Actually, I'd be afraid of any entrepreneur using his alt/mules to start an in game real-estate company. Plus, the pseudo-rng involved now can help discourage campers.

That being said, I've been camping since the servers came back up; and, christ, this is annoying.

At least I don't have to deal with the in-laws yet.

....... we did??


also, for those following along at home, there have been 8 total maintenances and 26 hours, 10 minutes of reported maintenance (that's taking into account last nights, the ones that ended early, and the one that ended late)
