How many people have multiple houses?

[Crysten]

You have friends on Balmung with 6 or 7 houses? Friends? Balmung?

Selfish ingrates...perhaps. But friends?

Christ, any more salt and we'd be looking at the Lochs. For someone all about non-harassment was that really necessary?

On topic - I'm very much a neutral in this argument. I have one personal house and my FC house in the same ward and personally, I agree that this should be the absolute maximum an account should have to ensure the largest amount of people possible have access to housing.

In regards to the situation on Mateus, both those who own the one ward and the server population itself do have a sense of blame in all of this. If the wards were empty for as long as they were and it's only now that the server seems to have a problem, then honestly I have very little sympathy for those who didn't make the effort to get a home before the transfers opened up.

That said, the tumblr post by those who own the ward have done absolutely nothing but fan the flames simply because their attitude stunk. Being a little humble about it would've gone a long, long way.

There's a similar situation on Ragnarok where a FC owns several different houses in the Mist to take advantage of the airships and company workshops but no-one seems to have piped up about that one. I'm sure other servers have the same problem, but /shrug

Simple fact of the matter is the system is open to abuse and SE needs to address this before they go live with Shirogane. It'll be interesting to see what Yoshi-P has to say in the upcoming live letter.

They should do the following in a thread that I've mentioned:

Not everyone will want to have 1 housing per account where they will want to stay in small forever.

Allow FCs to purchase their own wards with a high amount of gil so that max of 512 plots and 512 apartments can purchase the plots inside the ward(s)? By doing that, can you allow them to upgrade their interior sizes/furnishing slots and exterior sizes too? - For these plots reduce the prices of the FC Wards. Move out FC houses out of the current wards with full refund and give them the chance to purchase the FC ward instead - having FC main house in the center of Ward map in primary plot section.

As for current housing wards, make them all personal instead. But increase their wards up to 100~200+ to make sure that even one player who owns 8 alts could purchase it if they want to, so that people won't have to complain ever about plots being short or limited. Every time whenever Wards are being full in any server or even sizes are full, the server should recognize it and build a new ward automatically. Whether if it is large/medium. Not everyone is willing to stay small forever.

When player relinquish the land, please give 80-90% portion of the land as resale. To prevent the people from over price selling the land and to avoid violation of Term of Service.

Lastly, if people who are personal wishes to join in FC ward that are not FC members and purchase in the plot - perhaps they can get special permission to build housing in there. Now should these people who are in FC ward wish to leave FC or had special access wishes to move out, they'd be moving to personal ward where it's strictly for non-FC players only to purchase in these wards. They can transfer for free and grab the plots that are available within those 50-200 wards, whether it'd be small,medium or large.

I currently have one house. I'm going to try to get another when the new housing area opens up and once I'm situated and satisfied with it release the old house. I really can't see an advantage of more than one other than being able to acquire more stuff and with the interior item increase this argument is greatly reduced. I just wish they would increase the number of outside items.

I have three houses, two mansions and one personal small. My RP fc lives in one of the mansions. I have one paissa skin, one mog skin, and on the personal house no skin at all..... yet. Looking at that carbuncle skin, I really like it.

And yep I worked my ass off to get these houses. If I COULD, I would have all three plots on fcs for the airship aspect. I enjoy airships ok.

One mansion in the goblet, one in the mist, and my small is in lavender beds. A shame I can't take full advantage of the cheap teleports, but I'll survive.

Selfish and greedy. I don't care how hard you worked to be able to buy them all, there are people out there who can't get a plot because you wanted a bunch of trophies. 1 house per server should be implemented.

[Mirakumi]

Don't have a house. Though never fought to get one. I will be trying for the new ones in October so hopefully lol

[HyperSMB]

First: I have no house and am in no hurry to get one. My apartment works just fine for me.

That out of the way, it is REALLY stupid in a game with limited housing and HUGE demand to let account holders purchase multiple houses.

[BlastHardcheese]

I bought a personal small when I moved to Omega (before every plot everywhere was bought up.) Kinda wish I'd sprung for a Med but eh, I can garden and decorate in my down time, works for me.

Oh and the guys on Mateus did nothing wrong, SE enabled it with their dumb housing design, blame them.

Have 1 house (FC) and really reeeeally hope that they change it to 1 personal/1 FC per server. Theres no reason to own a village :I

Idk anyone with more than one unless they're on another server. I would love to just have one and it seems transfers have cooled off, so even after checking all aetherites in the major cities, I've yet to find a single open plot.

Late reply, but people who transfered sold off their houses beforehand to take gil with them. You wont see empty wards on balmung till the new district drops, and 45 days after that will be pretty much the last shot everyone gets till they add new wards.

I wanted places to RP where there aren't creepy OOC trolls staring at me! But ok? Whenever I read stuff like this I think about leveling more alts to 50, and buying more houses. It's just funny. If you want it, go get it. I've helped a lot of people get houses. On the hour every hour check the crystal, if I can do it on Balmung? You can do it anywhere.
