Will we get a notice in advance on upcoming housing ward going live?

[Rinuko]

I hope they not gonna give FC a headstart over personal. Why would they discriminate players like that?

[Vladmiere]

Descriminate? Do people throw this word around so much they assume it will ruffle the people who are reading the post? The goal should be to give as many people as possible a chance for a house and if more people get access to housing via the FC then as long as limited plots is an issue (which I admit is purposely caused by SE) giving the largest chunk of the population is always the best choice.

[Rinuko]

I mean if they give FC a head start or lock it for just FC. I have an FC and I know we are moving to Shiogane but I want a own house too. If it all locked to FC - there is a good chance all medium/larges will be taken by FC's.

So i'd say open it up for everyone. Everyone have same chances to get it regardless you buy personal or FC

I find the very concept of personal housing rather useless with the current housing system. Everyone wants their own house so it can sit there unused while large groups can't even have one. Then we have people owning massive mansions on their lonesome, which is even more useless. If housing was rampant, it wouldn't matter, but here it just feels like they're denying the masses of a feature. Wards with personal housing also feel empty.

I could have bought personal housing many times over, but it's so pointless. All I need is keeping a gathering hub for my FC. Hoping we can finally upgrade to a large from a small at long last.

Would just be nice if they limit houses by account. But that won't happen I'm sure. I'll be disappointed to be sure if I cannot claim a Med in the new place, but I won't be that upset. Hyperion's oddity about being high and somehow not high pop makes me nervous.

I think it should be Data Center, not account. The economy on Balmung is by no means the same as Ixion. I don't think it's fair to be so tightly restricted by something that isn't paid with real money. If you have a home on Chaos, it's the only one you have for Chaos. And so forth with Primal.

I have my house for decoration and gathering plots. I don't want have to rely on my FC for this as a mere member.
For people who dont use their houses, we have a 45 days demolition system for that.

Also like to add, so far they haven't confirm if the moving function is available to personal housing yet, which I'd love to hear about it from SE soon. (FC need moving function mostly because of workshop content)

The have confirmed it indirectly.
The only thing this "Transfer" does is saves the personal chambers and the airship workshop and status. It doesn't transfer ascetics or furniture. Is a FC will buy new plot and build new house and have their same Chambers and workshop only. Private houses have neither of these to my knowledge and thus transfers would be pointless, as just relinquishing your current house would do the same. This transfer doesn't save gil or anything. At least that is how things read.

Will people be able to own a second apartment in Shirogane once it opens up?

[Mysticales]

Soooo July 3rd patch overnight for 4.01. Anyone think housing could be on that one?

If it is, they would let us know. I'll be ready to buy - my medium Mist plot just got demo'd in preparation - it was funny getting 50% more gil back than the plot is currently worth, lol.
