Thanks for ruining Mateus, SE.

[Lewtskie]

Their homes are actually not that well decorated.

In all honesty, they should relinquish the plots and just keep two if they're all just as bad as this sampling. FFXIV is also not the game for this type of debauchery, they should play The Sims or Minecraft where they're not going to affect other people's level of enjoyment in a MMO.

1. They stated they had a few empty plots but had plans.
2. Every House has a theme and a style, so not every house was likely capped with furnishings.

Your examples are really biased and trying to shed them in a negative light, betting on your personal opinion of them.

I think it's awesome. Sounds so much more alive than people who buy housing, slap a stable in it and never do a damn thing else, even letting the stable get dirty. That's what the apartments are for, and its a damn shame to see the bigger ones go to waste just because someone wanted to sink their gil into a thing.

1. They stated they had a few empty plots but had plans.

They also stated they hated plots that were empty... does that mean they hate themselves? Maybe they should take their own advice.

2. Every House has a theme and a style, so not every house was likely capped with furnishings.

If we're gonna use that excuse, then you can't really say that the houses with a stable on it aren't of a certain "theme and style".

Your examples are really biased and trying to shed them in a negative light, betting on your personal opinion of them.

I don't think they should have 28 plots to themselves, no. But apparently I can't have an opinion on a forum, I have to look at them "neutrally" to decide whether twenty-eight frickin' plots should be owned by two people who have amateur designing skills.

That's nice, but as I mentioned prior, this is not the game for that debauchery. They want to do that, they have Minecraft and The Sims where they can't bother other people with their antics. Fun is fun, but this is crossing the line.

Stop trying to vilify me when I'm not the one who owns 28 plots across an entire ward in a MMO. I'm trying to advocate for others to have their own plot, but nope. Apparently two people having their charade of badly-decorated housing is more important than an FC having access to housing so they can use airship and FC crafts, right?

[Acilith]

I just finished looking through the interiors of every open house in that ward. Not bad. Gives me an Animal Crossing spooky village vibe, with all the little altars and such.

That being out of the way, this is really SE's fault. I mean I thought they set the hurdle pretty high, at 50+ character with grand company rank/rank 6+ FC. You've got to consider that maybe they wanted such a thing to be possible? I mean how empty was that place for how many years? They have owned 28 houses, in game, for over a year. Nobody would have noticed, or cared, if they didn't open transfers.

[Nixxe]

What? The transfers are to alleviate server congestion, not housing inadequacies. People are leaving because they don't like login queues, not because they can't get a house. Anyway, if you couldn't manage to buy a house from the server in a year, that's your own fault.

[Odstarva]

Friendly reminder that just because players come from a different server doesn't make them any less a player than you.

[Waliel]

I got curious about the goblet ward and took a couple of screenshots and the very first house i stumbled upon was turned into a church:




Confession booths and everything off-screen.

Misc outdoors:





And then there was this mansion which was literally empty except this cake and a bunch of vendors standing in a row in another room...



Overall I liked what I saw.

[Ayrie]

Thanks for nothing.

You're welcome. I am REALLY enjoying your server. It is nice, cozy, and allows me to play before 10pm! Thanks for not capitalizing on your year long head start and leaving those plots open for us. We really appreciate not having to wait YEARS for a plot to open up. Man, you guys are so courteous here on Mateus. I should send the word, let them know that you guys are all about RPers and have every resource just waiting that has not been available previously to the masses.

Your problems... they're [-] <--- that big compared to the problems these Balmung refugees are facing. I don't think you're going to find much compassion in these masses!

How many of those people from Balmung I bet you bought a house of their own, no FC attached, the moment they saw a plot open? How long have people on Mateus had to create or join a FC and work together for a company house or join a FC with a house already? Had those two people not bought most of that ward themselves, how many of those houses would have been bought for personal use anyway.

Either way, 16? of those were established with a dummy FC, bet if they were talked to, rather than shunned and spat at, those could be opened up to other players. A themed FC whereas those who joined have to maintain that theme? Sounds like a neat idea, start up the roleplay element in that server maybe.

Mateus folks had their chance, they didn't take it. Balmung folks are likely just as guilty.

[Neophyte]

If the Balmung floods are on Mateus, then this means #deleteMateus too?

Also you could have made more gil in Mateus than in Balmung lol, everyone in balmung crafts and overundercuts prices, so if you couldn't afford a house in 1 year in Mateus I don't think you'll ever had it anyway <_<

Wait, so you're basically saying that all those immigrants will take our jobs because they're used to do everything cheaper than we do? D:

Build a wall, quick.

Won't help much since SE will put a big beautiful door in the middle of it.
