Only 1536 apartments per server?

[Skivvy]

Am I the only person who could only go on 4 (I think) servers when 2.0 came out who finds this statement rude?

I would agree that it's rude and also a cheap excuse to try and shift the blame to the players versus SE's poor implementation with housing. Balmung is one of the Legacy servers, so a good portion of the playerbase had no choice but to end up here (if we wanted to keep our 1.0 characters). And even those who came here after launch, heaven forbid they wanted to play on a populated server or one that is good for RP. Perhaps SE will get their act together one of these days and figure out a way to make housing available to all of their players, regardless if they play on a ghost town or the most populated server.

Aren't these just like FC rooms for the FCless?

Yea those of us in Balmung can forget about it.
Seriously, when we say in 20 mins all houses are
gone, they're gone. Oh well, WoL still homeless!


I don't think they may have as much problems as the rest of us, the population there is a lot smaller than NA/EU.

Disagree, Shinryu and Chocobo is almost same with Balmung and when new ward comes it's sold out in a minute.

We're assuming so, but we haven't been given any information on the inside, just pictures of the lobby and outside of the buildings.

One would hope that the apartments are a bit bigger than the FC rooms... or as someone suggested earlier, pay x amount for a small, x amount for a medium and x amount for a large... but until more information is made available, all we can do is speculate.

Lavender Beds: 1 building per ward x 24 wards including subdivisions x 512 apartments each = 12,288 in total.

Goblet: 1 building per ward x 24 wards including subdivisions x 512 apartments each = 12,288 in total.

Mist: 1 building per ward x 24 wards including subdivisions x 512 apartments each = 12,288 in total.

For a grand total of: 36,864 new apartments in game.

Why complain about anything!?... If that's the number then everyone if not most players, including alts and whatnot, could have their own apartment!...

I just hope we can buy one in each city!...

People are saying they said it is 1 building shared between all the wards so only a total of 3 buildings 1 for each housing area not 1 per ward.

Another thing to consider. With the exception of overpopulated servers, are Apartments all that much in demand as we are thinking on paper.

Mitigating factors we need to consider is those who already posses some form of personal spacing, be it a Free Company Room, or a Personal house.

While there are some small Free Companies (mine among them) that own housing, many more posses a large number of players with personal rooms, satisfying the needs that Apartments would already fill.

While I carry no illusions to the fact that 1536 apartments will fill the current void. The number of current active players needing personal spacing may be smaller per server than we anticipate.

Something to keep in mind. And, now that the formatting for apartments are done, we're simply waiting on server limitations, most like.

Face it, we are mostly agreed that SE did housing improperly, but the course is set at this point, and they are long past the point where they can pull out on current investments and restart the project. This is a small improvement on a bad situation, but it is still an improvement.

As a homeowner I'm actually feeling guilty about wanting to buy an apartment. Then again my server's kinda small so it might not be that much of an issue but...

I'd hold off till the second wave if the 1.5k number is accurate. Simply because there really isn't anything new coming with these apartments, aside for the public area you don't need to have ownership of an apartment to walk into.
