New Housing Zone + Moving existing house

[Altena]

That's not true.

Also, it was my understanding that moving is intended for free companies, as he specifically addressed them.

Uhh what? How is that not true?

Every player who has the gil at the time a ward opens has exactly the same opportunity as another.

If you are referring to newer players, or players who did not have the gil during the initial wards, the addition of subdivisions, or the addition of new wards - then that is on them. They had the opportunity to plan for it, save the gil, and buy the house - just like everyone else that was playing the game. If they are that new that they weren't even around for this - well then tough pickles, wait your turn - as there are plenty of players that have been playing far longer and are still yet to obtain a house despite having the necessary requirements.

If you are a newer player, this is completely on you, and no one else should be penalized for you not being at the stage in your character's life in order to purchase one when they became available. More will come, you just have to wait like the rest of us.

If it is indeed intended for free companies alone, this is incredibly unfair to those who have purchased a house in one of the 3 city states as they are quite literally locked out of the opportunity to obtain a house in the new zone.

In addition to this, it is also incredibly unfair to expect a private home owner to relinquish their house that they worked hard to obtain the gil for, in order to remove this lock out (which the cost can vary between 5 to a whopping 300 million gil if purchased on housing launch day).

This is effectively asking the home owner to toss their 5-300 million gil on the ground (current price of mansions is 50 million gil to put a bit more perspective on the situation), then to spend a further 50 million gil to obtain another mansion.
In addition to this, you are asking a home owner to give up their claim to their current house, in order to even have a chance (not a garentee) at obtaining a house in the new zone. This means that if a home owner wishes to move, they have to risk relinquishing their land, teleporting to the zone, potentially spend another 50 million gil on top of their original cost of their house, with the potential to lose BOTH plots and end up with 50 million in the drain with no house to show for it.

So the situation is this - if home owners cannot move to the new zone, they either toss 50 million on the ground with the potential to come out with NO house at the end of it, ignore the fact that there is even a new housing zone which is also incredibly unfair as this was not on the cards when many people purchased their house, or best case - they spend AT LEAST DOUBLE the amount of a first home owner would spend if purchasing an plot of the same size.

This isn't even remotely fair on any sort of level and you would be a completely delusional if you thought it was.
If this feature is for Free Companies only, that is completely rediculous.

Anything said on if personal houses can be moved too or nah?

Nope no official word yet
