    The inside of the house are actually instance, it's just the ward that aren't. The reason for that is because yoshi-p and team decided it that way for the community feel. Great idea, sadly didn't quite live up well due to numerous restrictions.

    And is pretty useless due to the fact that those zones are, almost all the time, empty

This whole 'please don't say anything even slightly negative' mentality that we seem to be going towards and the devs seemingly pushing towards it is creating a disturbing trend.

    Pretty much what I said, great idea that failed to live up to the hype because of numerous reasons.

    From the short video footage of Shirogane I highly doubt the housing system will be changed anytime soon...

    You are so right SE refuses to have a real live letter discussing housing. They just keep doubling down on the problem and ignore the cause.

    This is what we know. All servers must have the same amount of houses. Because the wards aren't instanced but built into the very core of the game. Which means more server strain. We have as many housing zones as the rest of the open world combined.

    Next the apartments are a lie. All they did was add a FC house that anyone could join. Then they didn't even have the nerve to add everything the FC house has like vendors and buffs. Oh and a shared stable with 500 random people.

    We have instanced zones in the game. FC rooms, apartments, inn rooms, inside of FC house, and squadron room. They each have weird restrictions. No teleport, no crafting, kicked out of when returning to the game, or not being able to leave when server is full.

    So they had years to work on making some sort of usable and fair instanced housing. Instead we get a video of another zone same mistakes over.

    Also Eriks idea about instanced housing giving them a reason. I kept holding out that the lack of news in HW's was going to be floating islands. It is all in game we even see a base on island for the pirates. Also gives them the option to join them in the future when the game is better designed.
