How many people have multiple houses?

[Acilith]

I never said housing was boring, why would I have so many houses if I found it boring?

And hey if they DIDN'T MAKE CONTENT to PLAY, we wouldn't have a game? Why SHOULD the devs stop working on raids and pvp (lol) to work on housing because people are literally not wanting to take the time to get a house?

You've got to consider the exact moment of time the player logged out and went afk for 45 day, on the hour. So, the house will be available exactly 45 days after they have logged out. Keep in mind maintenance times as well. And lesse here, people who are too busy 'adulting' to log in to keep their house from exploding? They will have logged out around ..maybe just after prime time, or during prime time. And since I have been at this for literal years, I can tell you I've seen more empty plots pop up around these perfectly accessible times, than during 2am+ hours. You can't be at every city crystal at once, however. So I heavily suggest in investing in some friends to help. Maybe some friends who are at home while you're at work too? Gee, it's almost like MMOs expect you to chat up other folks.

I've definitely never said the housing system is fair, either. I would ADORE instanced housing. I feel if you have the gil, you should have the house. But since that isn't the case, you HAVE TO put in extra effort. If you want it, you HAVE TO do it this way. Unless you want to pay a flipper, which I advise against.
