1 Housing Plot Per Account (not character) Solves Housing Crisis

[Youkulm]

Room for everyone in Shirogane! Why not?

this should have been a thing before housing even launched, but SE can't exactly change it now.... if they do there will be lots of whining and crying from the selfish players ( and FCs ) that own serveral homes. Grinds my gears to see the FC on Greg that owns ( I think ) seven houses.. that /no one/ ever uses.

I think its time SE should implement free xfer off of large server like gilgamesh or balmung without limiting how much gil u can carry. With the implement of cross server pf, there are advantage of being on smaller server.
there is also the problem of people hoarding houses on their alt after xfering to another server, I know couple of people that have done that.

I also support this idea. There is no harm in allowing free transfers to basically dead servers. Most of all if someone wants a house badly enough? They'll do it. Right now the hinderence is losing your /entire/ fortune. I have considered in the past ( before my FC got a house ) moving all of us to a smaller server, but it just wasn't an option when we all had hundreds of millions of gil. It's not really worth it honestly.

My own thoughts?

I want to know why SE is so damn stubborn about instanced housing. They talk about the constant load of wards, items in the gardens and the strain that causes on the servers... wouldn't houses that aren't loaded 24/7 solve that? Or am I crazy?

I like our housing wards, they are beautiful and super unique to any other game i've seen.... However unique does not always mean better. I'm disappointed to see the next housing system were getting is wards again. I feel bad for all the people that are going to be stepping over dead bodies to try to get a house on larger servers. ( and yet again, they'll be gone in moments on Gilgamesh, Balmung, Sarg )

Limiting the number of homes per account would solve this ( Inlcuding FC houses, because lets be honest, if you're the FC leader... you control everything about the house... you don't need a personal house. I am speaking as an FC leader, who owns a home for my FC. )
