Ahh, making housing worse on smaller worlds cuz alts. Got it.

I mean, is it 'worse' if they're empty anyways? Nobody's using it at all, what's wrong with an alt using it?

Well, if you are trying to get RPers on a server, and you take all the housing with alts, that might not make people very happy lol

I mean if the alt is lvl 50, has the gil, I see no issue with it. There's someone who moved over with all of their gil to pick up the last mansion in Lavender Beds. If nobody's using it in the first place, I don't see the issue. Besides, if they like it enough they might move their mains?

...Why would someone want to move when they've already got a house, after all?

Larges are constantly filled on Mateus. That one was likely auto-demolished quite recently. We recently had two mansions demolished in separate wards of Goblet and they were snatched up within 24 hours.

So yes, an alt just took a mansion someone actually playing on Mateus could have used. Mansions are in high demand here; they are absolutely being used. You've probably never spent prolonged time on this server.

They're in high demand everywhere. Literally everywhere. No pity.

...And if they're ON the server, who are you to say whether or not they're active enough? I think the 45 day reclaim timer is the only one who can sort that 'activity' thing out.

That's not the argument you're trying to make though.

You're trying to argue that because the houses are open they're not being used and therefore it doesn't matter if alts from other servers get them. I highly disagree because on Mateus Larges are being used. and they are in demand. So that is compounding the housing problem, when you claim it is not.

I don't disagree with the premise of alts having houses, however (it would make me a hypocrite). I just believe that people actually playing frequently on Mateus should have them.

Almost all of the large houses I saw on Mateus are personal houses, which, a LOT of people would argue are wasted that way. Most people would agree that anything above a small should be fc only. How's four people using a large better than an FC using it?

I honestly don't see an issue with people from Balmung going to Mateus and buying the houses that aren't being used. I think it's silly to 'save the houses' for 'Maetus only' people. RPers spend a lot of time in their houses, I'm pretty sure they will see more use than some pver who only uses it for a cheap teleport.


I'm also going to add that people on Mateus had literal YEARS to get to these plots, same as anyone on any other server. If they don't have the gil for it, they don't have the gil for it. Why get upset when someone who has the means gets the house? It IS definitely silly to be upset that someone's alt got something that isn't seeing use. It should sit there and gather dust? Because ...?

Mateus has an extremely healthy leaf population. One of the healthiest I've seen on any server. In my ~9 months on Mateus, wards that were previously empty have filled up.

So while they aren't being used yet, they certainly are being bought by Mateus natives. Yes, that is compounding a housing problem, even if our turnover rate is decent.
