We can share a private house with 3 other people, the owner being the 4th house user. Yet a 4 man fc will get priority over any other small group of people. It isn't fair. In addition to this, while homeless players have to bury their hopes of getting their own house, all current house owners get to move to a new plot of their choosing with very little competition. Private house ownership should be treated the same as fc houses until apartments get crossbreed gardening, outdoor decoration and the same item restrictions as houses.
    You do know that private owners make up almost 80% of the plots right? FC's have every right to get the first weeks to themselves.

    FCs don't have first week, or even first day, to themselves anyway. They're competing for prime real estate with anyone that currently owns a house and real estate in general with people creating dummy FCs over the next two and a half weeks.

    /sigh

    LuckyBancho* suggests the following, if we assume no FCs whatsoever have houses and all players have only a single personal house. The percentage is how much of the population would have a house of their own:

    EU: Largest - Louisoix: 19,098 (22.62%), Smallest - Zodiark: 13,861 (31.16%)
    NA: Largest - Balmung: 22,562 (19.14%), Smallest - Zalera: 11,105 (38.9%)
    JP: Largest - Tonberry: 14,497 (29.79%), Smallest - Valefor: 6,586 (65.59%)

    4.2 isn't going to fix the problem. Freeing up ~150 plots (I'm being generous) per server isn't going to help anything. It won't even be noticeable; it's 3.47% of the total number of plots that will be available (4,320) as of Feb 6th.


    * Please take a moment to consider the argument "LuckyBancho isn't accurate because it doesn't include tons of people" and realize that would make the situation worse.

    Private owners that relocate won\\'t take up slots, they will simply move and free up their old slots. Granted, the new slots will have a timer but only FC\\' can actually fill up the added plots exept for a few cottages i assume
