What are my chances at getting the house I want? How can I increase my odds?

Keep in mind that this is based on experience from the last housing rush, which was quite a while ago (pre-heavensward, if I remember right. Remember Ishgardian housing? Me neither.)

The playerbase is a lot bigger now

Basically, hope for the best, but expect the worst. And enjoy SE continuing to completely ignoring the nightmare mess they created through laziness, stinginess, and poor design decisions.

Yeah I logged in 1 hour before maintenance and there were already a ton ofpeople camping around ward 1, the crystal, and the ferry skippers.

I was wondering though about the requirements they put on purchasing a house:

Requirements
Must be level 50 with any class or job.
Must have the rank of second lieutenant in the Maelstrom, the Order of the Twin Adder, or the Immortal Flames.
Must have completed the main scenario quest "Not without Incident."

Would that count for just Shirogane housing or for the old areas as well? Since that MSQ is level 61 chances just got a little bigger grabbing a house I guess?

I don't remember which quest that is, unfortunately.

I'm not really sure why SE allowed the relocation thing though...

That's just a requirement for Shirogane housing.

It's getting past the Sirensong instance.
