Housing restrictions not fair for individuals.

[Laerune]

I have been waiting for the chance to buy my own ingame house, but I do agree that free company (those that are used by the a FC and not someone who created one, so they could have a house) deserve to own one first over the individuals. Free Company can use the house and its features to create their own community stuff and alot of content/features are locked behind it.

This is why I am fine with not getting a house this time, let those with free company get it first.

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

Which is going to be hard, given that every server is different. My own server still has a few Larges left in LB, Mist, and Gob. I'm sure a server like Balmung has nothing open by now. My guess is they open it up at next week's maintenance.

I've seen people do some really amazing things with the limited space that Small Plots have.

Like this for a first floor.

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.

FC affect a much larger group than you. Haven't you ever made use of the EXP bonus, MGP bonus, crafting bonus or any other of the FC buffs? You're comparing your needs to the needs of 4-50 people

System should have went to FCs for the first week and then personal the next week.

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

SE messed it up again.

i don't think you understand this at all.
The personal moves just free up space elsewhere. On behemoth ward 1 of the 3 original zones have open houses now. The demo time is only like an hour

even a small house makes a fully functioning guild house btw

[AngeloFlick]

Oh yes, I should be content with fitting 3+ people in a small house because we refuse to leave our FC to enjoy the game. Makes TOTAL sense -_-

LOL are you for real? You're too good for small houses? My FC has 16 people, we are in a small house and it works for us just fine. Of course people can have their own space in FC apartments but that option is available to you as well. You could even have an apartment in your FC, a personal apartment in the ward of your choice AND a small house to share. Hell, you and your friends could each get your own small houses next door to each other in a nice area of one of the new empty wards once personal housing reopens because location matters way more than size. There's tons of mediums I could move us to right now because I have the money to do it but I like where we are. Our FC house is in an isolated spot with an amazing view and a market board right next to it. I'm not giving that up for a medium crammed in so close to other houses that I can smell everyone else's farts and the closest market board is halfway across the ward.

In short, you already have lots of options to "have your own space(s) to decorate" solo and with your friends. You're just throwing a tantrum because you think you're too good for them.

Honestly, if you feel like you too good for a small, you probably shouldn’t have a house to begin with.

I'm sure a server like Balmung has nothing open by now.

Well... there are still several plots open on Balmung actually. Mostly smalls, naturally, but I'm actually pretty amazed. If housing had stayed FC restricted all along, we might not even have needed this latest batch of wards.

Sarg is Still pretty big, but it still has a ton of houses available, even some mediums as well. If people truly wanted a house, they can get one. I don’t understand the complaints here.

What a bs.
I own a small house, but later I want to upgrade it to bigger house, cuz I want more space for myself only. I feel like small house is just not enough for my ideas in decoration and I don't want to share it with FC, I want it to be mine. If you don't like your apartment irl and have money for a house you just find a nice place and voilà. Just cuz SE has very poor housing system doesn't mean that people should only have small personal houses.
