Positivity about housing!

[Naberrie]

I actually had problems getting on. I tried right at 3am, but when I tried to get on to the data center I got an error. I then had to relaunch the game. Once I logged back in and got connected to the data center successfully, I found myself stuck in a queue of 323 people trying to get on.

When I finally got on, I found myself right where I’d logged off: in front of the lot I’d hoped to buy. Unfortunately it was already taken. I sprinted back to the ferry NPC and quickly browsed the ward lists to see what was available for the lot I wanted. I found it was currently available in most. I thought of trying a low number first, but then noticed that others seemed to be having the same idea, as those seemed to be going faster than the lower numbers. Taking a risk, I went to ward 2 and got the lot I wanted.

By the time I logged off about 20 minutes later, a cursory look at the list suggested all the houses in all lots were sold.

But I was able to get the lot I wanted, even with a login error and login queue.

Sorry for the triple post, but I’m on mobile and can’t edit.

The worst part about this thread is that such a "subtle" and "civil" troll can ruffle just as much feathers as a blatant one but hardly ever gets in any trouble.

OP, you're just pulling a middle finger to anyone who didnt be so lucky.
I'm glad for you but this post is not helping, you pouring salt on peoples wounds.

I sincerely don't mean too and it sucks for the people who didn't get their plot. I honestly believe SE should throw in atleast three or four times the amount of wards in, I'm sure their billion dollar budget could afford it. Did you get a plot yourself?

No, it wasn't. I'm trying to bring some positivity on the situations on the forums in the sea of negative posts. I never intended to brag.

I don't think you're bragging but it's a very delicate matter. If you check all the people complaining, creating threads, extremely frustrated, annoyed and upset at SE, you'd think that creating a thread stating "Hey, I got my house!" it probably won't be the best choice. It's like rubbing salt on an open wound. If we want to bring positivity, why not talk about the other content? Ivalice, glamour, dungeons, squadrons, etc. As for now, the whole housing subject is a shitshow.

Today, after I arrived home from a day at the office and getting a haircut, I ate and decided to log in to do some casual questing. After having my fill I decided to visit Ul'dah and check on the estates. I found one available for under 3 million.

How fortuitous.



It looks like I'll have some decorating to do later this week.

I can understand your excitement in getting your house and you just wanted to share it. The second I got mine, I did the same thing but I felt badly after I saw the flood of people saying they didn't get theirs.

I think it's probably better to just let it go for now. People are seriously upset so making a thread saying about how you got your house when the majority of others didn't is just going to be stepping on some toes. Dx Especially since I'm pretty sure that I did nothing different from anyone else here; I was just lucky enough not to get any errors.
