How many people have multiple houses?

[Claviusnex]

I've heard you can still get houses even in high pop servers if you camp the boards but there is a lot of contradicting information.

I can only speak abut my experience on Adamantoise. From what I saw when I was looking to buy a plot and have seen as I take walks around the various wards, plots become available often enough that you shouldn't have to camp full time to get one. My lot in the Lavender Beds had been on the market a couple of days when I bought it. It even has a nice view of a waterfall and stream. I've seen others last a couple of days before being sold as well. I'm not trying to say you can walk in anytime you want but over a couple of weeks of random dropping in you have a good chance of finding something. I also think some of the problem is with the Mists being considered the preferred area folks tend to spend more time looking there as opposed to the other two open housing areas. I know of no way to fix this other than being open minded about where your house is.

When did you buy your house? This is promising information but depending on how long ago it was it may no longer be true. From my understanding you are basically waiting on plots to be abandon and with large amount of people coming back to the game for the expansion the turnover is going to be a lot lower. Also you will have a lot more people looking to buy so houses wont stay up for long.

It would have been late last year so things could have changed with the new release bringing in more players. I also have no doubt that getting a house is near impossible on the high population servers. I guess the real question will be if the returning players that purchase housing are really long term or will they be gone once they've maxed everything out? I won't pretend to know the answer nor even attempt an opinion on it. I haven't taken a walk around for a while so maybe I will do that to see what things look like now that SB is out.

I'm not a house hoarder so have no issues with SE putting restrictions on the number of houses someone owns. I would be concerned if they don't allow some type of overlap for players that want to move to a new house. Let's say something like a 30 day window to decide which one you'll keep and which one you will release. I will say that even though it is the cause of all the problems I do like the neighborhood nature of the current housing areas. I understand this in not supportable for the large number of people that would like houses but hope they could be grandfathered in under any new housing scheme.

As Kosmos said they could tack on additional time after it's relinquished. In addition they could make it so you can't purchase additional homes for a certain period of time after relinquishing an estate, unless moving servers.

There should be some mechanism to be able to relocate on the same server. Something like you own a house and are allowed to buy one more. Then within 30 days you have to pick one to keep and release the other or the system will return one back to the pool automatically.

That's coming with Shirogane's opening, whenever that may be. It's more immediate of course, you choose to move to the new plot, the old one is up for grabs.

I was assuming you were talking under normal circumstances which is the I brought up the need to allow overlapping house ownership. While my thought is it would be rare you might not like the new location or it might take a few days to move items from your old place to new. I don't like the idea of an forced immediate move/relinquish on the same server.

It will be available under 'normal circumstances.' What Dustytome meant is that the feature that allows moving is going to be introduced at the same time as Shirogane's release, not that it will only be available for the new ward. There is still no word however, if it is going to only be available to FC houses or privately owned ones as well. SE has been keeping mum about that little detail.

I wasn't aware of that. I could see where that could come in handy for an FC or someone with a lot of stuff.
