I am so happy I got this house! Lavender Beds, Ward 10, Plot 39

I got the same one but plot 9 I believe in the main ward! Love that lot. Right when the server went live I looked at ward 9 and it was taken. Ward 10 was open so I jammed to it and bought it up. 5 seconds later someone else came along, looked at it and ran toward the dock. Then they came running the other direction. Told them that 39 was the same plot in the subdivision. They thanked me and I ported over to it. Not taken so I sent them another tell to hurry up. They showed up and said they would have to borrow some gil from a friend. WHAT!?!? Who fights the log ins at launch to find a plot and then comes unprepared? Long story short I fronted them the mil they were short, trusting that they would pay me back. They pulled through the next day.

That was a bit of a long story. Sorry...

Ha I know right? I even logged out as a DRG to be able to jump-180 elusive jump and land on the aetheryte after teleporting to the docks of the new wards. Also had stickers on my monitors showing exactly where dialog boxes would pop up to shave a few milliseconds off having to aim the cursor.

I didn't go that far but did trial runs to the plots I wanted with notes written down. Extremely difficult to read and comprehend at 3 a.m. when you normally go to bed at 11:30-12 btw. I'll get pics up in here when we finish it. A couple of days ago I finished my Small Eatery Wall in my FC workshop with the help of a few friends. Wife wants to do a whole bakery/restaurant thing. I'm all for it! Perfect lot for that.

Who fights the log ins at launch to find a plot and then comes unprepared?

Bahaha! I'm so guilty of this! So... I wasn't expecting to buy a plot on June 7th. I originally expected to. I scouted out the plot, planned my race for the morning of, etc. Then, on the Thursday before the release, I saw a plot pop up, so I sniped it. I hated it, too. I don't think I would have hated it if it was the only thing I was going to get, but this plot had no view, 15 second run to the nearest bell and board, etc. And with my desired plot coming up in mere days, I have no idea why I did this.

Anyways, patch day: I was awake at 3am, in order to help our FC get the plot we wanted. I'm on Famfrit, so the log in errors weren't too bad, but I did have a 52 person queue and I was late getting in (my FC mate had already missed her first chance at purchasing the mansion we wanted and had already ported to the one I was supposed to be guarding - while I was still in queue).

So I went to Lavender Beds and I noticed that the plots I wanted weren't bought yet and lamented wasting my gil on the one a few days ago... That's when my FC-friend loaned me 2mil from the bank and yelled at me to hustle and go get my house!

So not only was I broke and ill-prepared, but I had to pack up 120 items of furniture (inside and out), kick out my tenants, relinquish my land, port to Mist to get my loan, port back to Gridania (I also had someone watching plots for me to see if they was any of 9/39 left)... someone had run past my friend and bought one he was guarding for me, but he found mine and it was still free when I finally got there. Whew!!!

The lesson learned here is: apparently location is very important to me, and don't settle on a plot right before a patch that releases 720 new houses...

Eternal I'm a bit guilty of one part of that. A plot opened up in Mist about 2 months before they were releasing the new ones. I've been so excited to buy a house since the first plot expansion that I jumped on it. It's not a bad view, despite being grade 5 but there's a MB and crystal on the corners (plot 17). It would be hard to give it up for a shot at something like beachfront. I would like a medium though. I can't believe you did all that and still managed to get it.

I bought the last of my plot kind, so I am very, very lucky!

That said, I would have been pretty happy with any of the three that are across the road from me. The last one of those in my ward only just became occupied last week, so even if I wanted, I could have waited and rebuilt my funds and got a different cottage. But I'm so happy I got this one!

Bought one of those across from 9 for my sister, right next door to my old FC leader. She said it was silly because she's never going to have time to craft stuff to fill it. Having had a blast (still having) doing mine up I argued and ponied up all the gil for it. Well 2 weeks later and guess what? She's loving it! As payment I use her garden. Fair is fair.

It's not complete, and I haven't started working on the garden since I don't have botanist/miner and everything is expensive. ;w; But so far I'm loving the results and decided to take some pics.

Living room.

Kitchen.

Downstairs (very simple, still trying to work on it). And it's not christmas, but christmas is my favorite holiday and... well, there wasn't nothing as good as the tree to put there.

Bedroom and the bathroom.
