4.2 Housing Update

[MaikoRaines]

Yoshi already stated, you can find it on reddit, that all existing house owners will not have their houses taken away from them and it'll be grandfathered in. So there is no need to worry about having to chose between houses or selling your houses now that you can. Eventually it will balance itself out anyway over a few years.

So hang on... those two from that one server who own an entire ward will get to keep said ward because of a technicality?

I think the amount of people complaining that they're gonna lose a neighborhood full of houses they own is simply ridiculous and hilarious at the same time.

Yeah I have mixed feelings on this, a player being grandfathered in that owns a few houses is one thing but 2 players owning an entire ward irks me but cant be fair to 1 and not the other right?

Quick question: My FC owns a small plot but we want to upgrade to a medium, when the servers go live, will we be able to do this or will the system prioritize homeless FCs?

Because if it's the latter we'll never get our hands on a medium plot.

FC's are going to get first crack at transfers, new purchases as well as privately owned houses able to do transfers as well.

New purchases FC first, not so bad however, this system will be abused (which is already happening) by ppl buying multiple FCs. The end result will be that maybe a few more people get a small house given the small amount of med/lg ones in each ward. Bandaid fix gives way to duct tape fix but duct tape doesn't last forever...

And its that mentality which makes me support these kind of people, its nothing more then mob mentality.

These players did nothing that goes against the terms of usage! Nor should they be punished now because the mob is picking up their pitchforks and torches because "they" deem it unfair. The rules have changed, true, but that doesn't mean that players who abide by the rules have to turn in their goods. Its an oversight of the developers.

And it's that whole narrow-minded white knight mentality that I think it's funny you can justify two people owning an entire ward. It's one thing it being 3 or 4 houses, but think back to some of the comments and reasonings why they did it.

"They didn't want people putting up gaudy looking houses next to theirs" is a quote I certainly remember as do many. It's that kind of elitist attitude that makes me laugh.

But 30 houses? An entire ward? Koji told me, to my face that the concept is ridiculous. You know how much server resources goes into a ward? Greedy to be one thing that you own an entire ward, but even greedier to let S-E pick up the bill for the resources used to house their personal little paradise? Yeah S-E screwed up, no one argues it here, but there's other people that suffer for it in turn.

But hey, yeah, lets give them a damn gated community mod so they keep the filth out of their treasured empty ward.

Also, remiss of me to say this but I represent my own thoughts. Not a mob.

It isn't anyone's fault that people like me think this all stinks. You among others however supporting that kind of person isn't mob mentality in itself? Interesting...
