Hey there - I am the self appointed strata president for The Mist, 9th Ward Apartments in Excalibur and there's a few concerns I'd like to address.

First and foremost - the addition to said apartments were great! Thank you for that! It was well needed and takes off a great deal of stress until you're able to open more wards and Ishgard respectively.

Now onto a few concerns and questions.

Concern A) The apartments lack one key thing I feel is needed - and that is a mailbox. While I love how there's a market board and a summoning bell right there, a mailbox would be paramount to anyone who utilizes it as much as I do (and many others given the feedback)

Concern B) A lot of us are in an FC and it's a bit of a wayward situation. Some of the other FCs in the apartments expressed that they would like to be able to operate Airships much like how people who have FC mansions do as well. Is there any plans on incorporating a community workshop that would be instanced to the user and the party members so that they can at least be able to carry on some kind of planning for instance - the Diadem. We actually transferred from one server to Excalibur and that was one main concern of our own we had for ourselves and that was the need to do some exploration and expedition runs. Are there any plans to do something like that to assist those stray FCs without roots to lay down? I feel this would alleviate a lot of headaches for both parties.

Addendum to this - perhaps an option to have penthouses for those FCs? This would solve so many problems and offer a gorgeous view of the city they are living in - the best part? It's super easy to do than taxing your servers with more plots (or so I'd like to believe)

Concern C) A community garden. It would be ideal to have one of these. While we have Chocobo stables (YAY!) we do need to feed, level and color our Chocobos. As with the instancing idea I was mentioning for the airships, would there be any plans for something like that?

Concern D) Guest access - Yes I know it was mentioned that we would not be able to share the room with anyone, but some players who are starting out would benefit being a roommate to one person so they can at least be given time to level, get a feel for the game and be able to properly position themselves. The apartments are great, but they are slowly filling up and this would at least give that player who otherwise can't afford or technically be able to purchase an apartment some kind of base of operation for themselves.


Thanks for hearing me out guys! This patch was amazing!
