Lodestone: Additional Plots and Purchasing Guide

[Asthuran]

Question:

I'm aware that the houses in the new wards will be available for purchase starting on February 6th, but my question pertains to the particular time this will happen. Will it be 12 AM on February 6th? And if so, what timezone would that be, as I'm currently located in an EST timezone.

If we don't have a particular time, then at least I'll know to spend all day waiting lol.

Thanks!

Any times posted on the NA site will be Pacific. I can't find posted times for the maint next week yet, otherwise I'd convert time zones for you.

I thought the idea was to not have another 4.1 Savage. But with them staggering FC housing and personal housing it sounds like they are going to put in another limited amount of houses. So the personal housing gets to have another 4.2 Savage and hell FC probably will to.

If they had enough housing for everything they wouldn't bother staggering.

Of course they're only adding a limited amount of houses. They added 6 new wards. I understand the part about server stability, and how they can only add a limited amount at a time, but they really need to figure out something better (like maybe instanced personal housing and apartments that you can upgrade in size so they're more than just an FC room). There will never be enough houses for everyone with the current system in place.

For FC houses and relocating, it will be one hour after servers come online and servers will not come online early. This means servers will go live at 2am PST/5am EST and houses will open at 3am PST/6am EST.

Personal housing is a complete unknown. They may opt to post an advance notice, as they're doing with this Feb 6th maintenance, or they could pull a Christmas 2015 and just randomly flip the switch at any time from 6am EST on Feb 6th onwards. For the sake of your sanity, I would hold out on camping plots while praying it's the former.

Oh my. I was there for the 4.1 log in rush and I made it in while many others didn't. So this is a good thing, I think. Although I can see everyone piling around the aetheryte spam clicking and potentially make things worse lol

I doubt we will see anything on Personal housing for at least a week or two after its been available to FCs. The housing site itself says they will monitor the situation with housing and investigate the potential of allowing private purchases again. To me this means they will likely do a once a month data review the way it seems they handle server pop status checks.

2 weeks or more. Maybe a month. But we all know by that time it will be too late (people would made small FC) and a shitstorm will hit both
forums and Reddit.


I even see how people would flip houses with FCs. Buckle up people

the only way that can work in the new system is if someone wanted to have their own FC that doesn't currently own one... so -_-

If people are as desprate for a house like i think they are they'd leave their FC, make a LS for the social aspects and make a 4 man FC to get a house they be single man FC.

There is plenty "loopholes" and people will use them to any cost
