Did you get your house?

[Mazzoutlaw]

I got mine, but man... what a mess. 1016s and a mad dash. This is really unfortunate for many who want a house but were unable to login for the first 5 minutes of the patch.

I play on a low population server and our fc managed to get ours, granted we wanted mist plot 19 and ended up getting 20 but that's irrelevant. It was obviously owing to be an issue on high population servers, if a house is that important just migrate? The wards are all half empty here still

COME TO LICH EVERYONE

There's still plots everywhere, I can in fact confirm.

The problem with this is by the time these people migrate their characters and level up a new FC these houses are bound to be gone as well.

I will let you in on a secret. Last time housing wards were added, there were still plots about a month after.
At least over here.

So party finder is full of people selling on Balmung, awesome job SE another home run! Would love a dev response on selling plots, since we cant ever get one cause they seem to just not care!

I'm on Balmung and obviously didn't get a house due to the aforementioned zerg. However, I'm really happy with the way that Square handled this patch, lack of housing aside. This is the very first patch that Balmung hasn't imploded in on itself within minutes of the patch going live. Usually I get the patch downloaded the night before, log in for about 2 and a half minutles, the server implodes, and I twiddle my thumbs for an hour or so while the server carefully tries to work through its PTSD of having all those concurrent login attempts. Today, despite the housing being gone when I got in 10 minutes too late, I was able to jump right into doing other activities.

I was quite surprised, some houses were taken fast, so a lot of us on Cerbs may have not gotten the plots that we wanted, but there's still a small up in Goblet atm. So those FCs who were looking for a house just for the features, they should all be happy. I thought all plots would have been gone here within 20 minutes!

Lich you know it

Did you get a chance at buying a house?

AHAHAHA. No.

I'm disappointed but not surprised. When a large majority of players already don't have housing, increasing it by 50% never had a chance of doing anything but leaving people disappointed again. I don't think this is going to change. SE's behavior up to now gives no indication that there will ever be a big increase in housing. My pet theory is that they designed the housing features to take up too many server resources for it ever to be economical for them to actually provide sufficient housing for the player base. I would love to be wrong on this, but I don't see it happening.

It's probably good for my bank account. I lost interest in the game, and the naive belief of the possibility of getting a house is all that got me to resubscribe. I'm just going to let it lapse. Next time they announce new housing, unless they're doing something to expand to fill any demand, I probably won't bother.

Lich you know it

Could you perhaps give us an example of how many plots are still available? I see lots of people saying they have plots open on their servers but no one in their right mind is going too spend 18 dollars moving to a server and getting back all their gil only too find out everything is gone anyway.

Not trying too sound rude but for most people transferring in the first place is a big move and as much as I and many others would like a home, that doesnt change the fact that many low pop servers are still selling out on plots right now.

It was also very foolish to only release 4 wards on Balmung, too.

This sooooo much.

Housing was gone in first 15 mins as well for those of us stuck in congestion we couldnt even get a Small FC house. 95% of the houses were bought by individuals and half of them are offering to vacate at outrageous prices. This is sad on high population servers. want the community to get things done but have to deal with people that are greedy for no apparent reason.

SE should have implemented a restriction for one personal house per account per server and just made it accessable to all your charactors.
