New Housing Zone + Moving existing house

[LaylaTsarra]

Would be nice if they clarified it. I may have missed it but I'm surprised the Live Letter didn't address it.

The player that said this stated that Yoshi said he wanted "new players to have the chance at purchasing a house in the new zone before existing home owners moved there".

If true it's pretty funny coming from the men who refuses to revamp the housing system to allow everyone to have a house

I think it is reasonable. Allow new players or players without homes to purchase a home there before everyone tries to move there. Otherwise you simply repeat the current problem.

How is it repeating the problem though? When a player moves, the old plot is then available for purchase/moving.

Has anyone heard mention of pricing? I'm curious if moving entails paying full price for the plot or if there's a discount?

I just assumed if say you could upgrade medium to large, it takes the normal price of a medium, and takes it off a larges price, and you pay the difference..but -shrug-

Housing period needs a better claim system. I don't know maybe a lottery or a waiting list. The current first come first serve system is flawed when they don't do anything about players per server, server infrastructure to allow more zones, or number of houses per account. Or better yet wasteland servers that take up valuable resources, any server that can't keep 3k active subs should be merged.

I don't object to transferring original housing to new wards, but it should only be implemented after the first wave of house buying is over. The system is to much of a sh!t show to begin with to add the two over lapping house buying systems to happen. If you are unable to get a new zone then you can feel like all the other players in the game who also were unable to get a house. Not because they couldn't afford it, but SE is running a poor system that is not fair.

If you feel its unfair you can always listen to the defenders of SE give them more money and move. Hell Mateus supposedly doesn't even have two thousand players. Yet they will get an equal increase of housing the same as every other server.

I hope the "moving system" allows us to upgrade from the current plot's size to a bigger one, example:

Cottage -> House/Mansion

House -> Mansion

However knowing SE's lack of options in-game, said system will only allow us to move between plots of the same size, making obligatory to relinquish any plot currently owned before even thinking of getting a new one in Shirogane!...

Shirogane looks kind of cramped to me, like Mist so I'm not really sure it will live up to my expectations, gladly there will be time to check out the place before we can buy a new plot of land, I would have liked the new housing area to be in Cohertas or the Sea of Clouds instead but the Producer buried those dreams!...

As stated, how is that even remotely fair to those put in the effort to get one early? It's literally locking them out of the chance to even get a house in the new zone. Penalizing those that put in the work to get the gil, camp the wards, buy a house - and rewarding those that didn't bother.

And as stated time and time again, house movers don't consume new land - they simply shuffle it. The chance for a player who currently doesn't own a house doesn't change - if anything it is potentially more advantagous because those who do not like the new zone but wish to purchase a house will have the option of moving into one of the 3 original wards.

WOOO WOOO back up the truck. It is quite possible the people with out a house do not have one because of SE system. You had a turn wait for your turn to come around again. Or you know you could always move to Mateus. They probably have more house then players by the time this is over. I believe someone earlier said if you can afford a sub you can afford the transfer.

I wish that current homeowners had the option to move after those without got their houses. You have a private house. You have airships. All you would be getting is a new view.

If you really, reaaaallly wanted to live in the new wards you should be willing to gamble and race for them like everyone else.
