In Regard to Housing in Patch 4.1

I am hopeful that they will add 12 new wards (with their respective 12 subdivisions), since otherwise, they would be very few and in fact still few.

12 is not enough. Even 50 is going to be packed at this point.

These are my suggestions:
1) 1 FC house/lot and 1 Personal House/Lot per Server (NA/EU/JP). This prevents any resellers or alts to have extra unnecessary homes that could be going to an active player
2) Personal Homes are shared with alternative characters on the same server in their account. This will make many people happy for it will give them a chance to have a place to call Home for even their lonely characters.
3) Separate wards for FC homes and Personal homes. (more small/medium homes in the personal Home wards and more large/medium homes in the FC wards). This will help FC so much in the fact that they can finally have a place to call Home and not have to fight with other people to get personal housing. It would have been nice to have stuck with JUST FCs getting Home to prevent the housing crisis we have today but you can’t please everyone.

4) Able to purchase the lot from the list of houses in the ward list. This may help those with really slow internet connection be able to just click & buy from that menu.
5) Instanced housing options with a price reduction bonus. This may give some people the opportunity to buy a home without the hefty price tag in return losing the real-time neighborhood aspect (lots will still have a front lawn,but the scenery is a backdrop). But I’m sure many would be willing to pay that price full well knowing that they may be paying [up to the current lowest price for a lot when left up for sale].This will also prevent the need to open up more wards &hopefully avoid doing the raffle ticket route for purchasing lots (auctions). Doing auctions just creates more competition & adding to the already bad tension between players &upsetting even more people who have been playing the game since before launch who may still not have a home and those who may have returned thinking they have a shot to a house

Just a heads up, since I noticed you are new to posting here. While there is a 1000 character limit when you post there is a way around that to prevent multi-posts.

1) Write your full post.
2) Copy the entire post then reduce it to a few lines.
3) Select "Edit Post" and replace the post with the full body of what you copied.

On the phone version of the website there is no edit button I can find

I tried that with the copy paste thing, it wouldn't let me. Still stuck to 1k wordage.
So I guess we have to

Thank you for the quick response, can't wait!!!

What I would like to see is 1 personal house and 1 FC house per account per server. That would take out the people that want to have a personal house in every housing area making it impossible for the ones of us who don't have a house. Also would be nice if the ones that do have multiple houses get their extra houses removed and the plots put up for sale once more. More Wards is something I'm happy about but once again it will be a race to get a plot. It sucks that people on more popular servers have to race and fight just to have something bigger than a tiny room in an FC house or apartment building.

So some players managed to get several houses but for others it´s impossible? You see that there is quite a flaw in that logic?

Players who own several houses have worked for them (btw. I only own one). They have leveled characters, earned gil, leveled GC and FC company ranks. You would like to take their houses away just because SE isn´t willing to provide enough wards?

Housing is already instanced, it´s called wards. How many duty instances do you think are running at the same time? More wards shouldn´t really be any problem (and it isn´t as they now after the big backslash are suddenly providing more wards with 4.2).

SE is just deliberately holding this resource in scarce supply (to save money for server infrastructure or to keep people playing, who knows).

So in my point of view the whole discussion how to solve the housing problem is futile and the anger and envy shouldn´t be directed to fellow players but to SE.
