Housing restrictions not fair for individuals.

[Moonfish]

People have been able to upgrade their personal houses locking many FCs out of the chance of even getting a house. SMH

Relocating a house, personal or FC, doesn’t remove an available plot. It means another opened up elsewhere. Unless you meant locking FCs out of M/L lots, then sure. A previously homeless FC would be grateful to even have a S though.

That statement makes no sense, all you're doing is prioritizing what you believe to be more important because decorating a house isn't an essential thing to you.

That statement makes no sense, all you're doing is prioritizing what you believe to be more important because being able to create and expand a free company isnt an essential thing to you.

Look, bottom line is, free companies actually impact gameplay, not just of the owner but of all the members. Having a house for a free company means that all of the members get access to many many mechanics that otherwise they wouldnt be able to use.

You not having access to it means you don't get to play house.

Enjoyment of multiple people by buying one house and giving their FC access to the things they need to grow > your singular enjoyment you would get from decorating one.

You can't put the need of the one over the needs of the many. That's being selfish. :P

Add....More....Wards..... it's really not that hard, only making excuses.

WOW, I'm sure SE hasn't thought of that. Great suggestion.

My problem is that its allowing Private house owners who owned a small house upgrade to a large house, thats the case on my server, i'm not seeing FCs getting large houses. Ive been playing since 1.0 and ive been patiently waiting to get my hands on a medium or large. But all I am seeing is private house owners who own a small house upgrading to a large or medium. How is that fair? They should not of allowed private house owners to relocate, I can understand FCs and thats cool but what were they thinking of locking people from buying private houses but letting people who already own a private house relocate? lol that makes absolutely no sense to me.

Did you even read the post V.V

FC members don't NEED it any more than us individuals NEED our own space. If they can't use the workshops then they are missing out on a part of the game they want to enjoy, if we can't get our own space to decorate we're missing out on a part of the game WE want to enjoy. You cannot possibly justify that an FC's wants are more important than anyone elses, so many other MMOs have found a compromise and a AAA company like SE should have figured it out by now.

What? Is this a serious comparison post? You're comparing having ' your own space' to the buffs, airships, and crafting workshops available to an FC? No, you want to enjoy decorating a house. FCs need these things in order to properly function as, you guessed it, an FC. I don't agree with the situation the devs have painted for us, but this is the best solution that they can give at this point in time. If you want your own space, be like the rest of us hoping for a personal house and just wait. Or are you proposing we have another Shirogane Extreme episode. That went extremely well.

I agree - by far the worst decision SE made when making the new wards live.

[Meraii]

I had hoped that it was just the new wards that would be under the new restrictions, letting individual take up the scattering of small plots that have appeared on the old wards.
It was an idle hope, especially as by the time it does open up to individuals I will probably be back at work and no longer able to get one on time.
Oh well.

Add....More....Wards..... it's really not that hard, only making excuses.

If it really wasn't that hard then um, they would have done that a very long time ago. It's not an excuse, its in the coding. As it is now its showing very clearly they're scrambling for space. The wards as per their coding are loaded into the games memory 24/7 and all objects fully rendered. Every tree, mailbox, bench, outside customization, EVERYTHING is loaded. They don't simply just shut down as per normal instances when no one is in them. For every new ward they add, that's more strain on their systems. Space is not infinite.

I only wish they'd tell when they will lift the restriction. Is it just for the early hours? Days? Weeks? I'd hate to log in just to find out everything is gone :P

I think they are planning to see how market responded and remove the restriction if enough houses don't sell.
