Stop asking for more wards

What I find embarrassing is that ffXI gave you a room as soon as you logged in, and that was in 2004. 13 years later and s/e can't figure out how to do housing? It's always one step forward 3 steps back with this dev team.

Except those Moghouses weren't even to give you a nice place to live, it was purely for technical reasons - the whole system was designed specifically to help stabilize the main server population by keeping a personal instanced area that only the player could access and thus encouraged the player to spend as much time in there as possible.

Hence a lot of gameplay features could only be accessed inside there, such as changing your Job/setting a subjob, gardening, accessing your inbox, item storage etc. You couldn't even invite another person in there til circa 2007 (over five years after the game launched!), and even then it was only because player population had declined so much that SE considered the server stability purpose of Moghouses to be now redundant, so they relaxed restrictions on accessing them - you could then access another person's Moghouse, but only if you were in a party or alliance with them and then only if they accepted it.

Either way, the FFXIV equivalent for Moghouses more or less is the Inn anyway, albeit you can't change the furniture, but you can pretty much do anything you do inside a house in a Inn room really.

So saying "FFXI did housing better" is a fallacy.
