And all of the houses are gone.

Hyperion was quickly cleaned through. I think when they made housing they should have had it separate servers in a sense that one is FC only other is housing. Also one housing per account. Because there is at least 4 houses under one person. who probably is going to be selling them in PF pretty soon. /sigh.

I have been playing since 1.0 and still no house. GG, have had the gil since forever ago.

Just make the houses NOT re-sellable by putting a "cool down" on buying the plot after it has been demolished.

In Gilga its under alts...but boy I am mad that I got screwed out of a house

Yea, that was a big waste of time. I'm just not sure what their thought process is with this whole housing thing.

Players want house, we give house. Bad account restriction idea, but hey, they get house, right? =3= WRONG

Some of the suggestions in here are good, like a random delay for relinquishment to curb the mafia that is happening on some servers. The thing is it's mostly people on the 3 or 4 most populated (overpopulated imo) servers that are having problems. I waited over a year to buy my first house. I get that it was horrible to see them all wiped out before you could even log in. Honestly I thought it would happen on my server (Diabolos) due to this forum and the length of time I waited for my first one to be up for purchase. This is purely a congested server problem though. I checked last night and Mist was all purchased. There are probably a dozen still left in the Beds. Over half of the new plots are still open in Goblet this morning. None of this helps you in the overcrowded servers but my point is the developers aren't seeing a general problem. It's just like trying to buy real estate in NYC. Lots of people all jammed into one space and there isn't enough to go around.

I've seen people suggest instanced housing. Please, no. That would take out the very thing a lot of us like about the current system. We can wander the wards and see what other players have done. If it has major curb appeal, I'll usually go inside to see what they have created. Instanced housing would ruin that. If you want instanced just get a room at your FC home or wait for apartments.

"I can't garden". Yep, that bites. They could introduce that though without ruining current housing. Flower pots are a nice start. now just let us cross them, just not at often as a normal plot.


"I can't do airship missions". Neither can I unless I go to my FC. I will agree on one point someone made. Maybe house size should (have been) designated to the type of buyer. Smalls for individuals. Mediums for FC with say 5-20 members. Larges for 20+. Could it be cheated? Probably. The mafia thing would most likely be curbed. Too late for that though.

Point is that very few things need to be changed to the housing for most of the servers, IMO. I'm looking through stained glass windows from inside my house on my lower pop server though. I don't know what the big deal is being on a larger server. The raid scene I get. PUGs are a tough gig. I'd like some enlightenment on the RP (what's that) server.

Not meaning to offend anyone.

this. this this. That is all it would take to ruin the concept of house flipping.

If the buyer were forced to compete with the public to purchase the newly relinquished house because there's a 24 hr waiting period, no one would be willing to risk the huge upfront charges re-sellers demand before relinquishing. Just stick a 24 hr timer post relinquish and add an announcement or something so that the public can come in and break up the little tea party these buyers/sellers create for themselves. done. wham bam, thank you ma'am.

I think a random amount of time followed by a set of Moogles flying through the residential district with a wrecking ball would be appropriate. If you see the Moogles, follow them!

like 2 or three days would be enough with proper timer, so ANYONE can pass thru and see how much till the plot goes online.
