Housing Fix,was a step back

Im sure,that a countless number of others out there have been waiting for sometime,to get a house.Sadly for most their dream plot was taken from them due to people relocating or relocating AND being able to upgrade their house size,at the same time.I find that to be unfair by all means.On Midgardsormr,there are currently no large houses,no medium*which I had my heart set on since October* and very few small left.Making 6 more wards in each zone clearly wasnt enough.6 wards,in each of the 4 housing zones,at 60 houses per ward=1,440 new houses that went live yesterday.On higher population realms,I can only picture how horrible it must be.

In Balmung, the server with by far the highest population, we have A LOT of small houses left. Not sure about Med/Larges, but a LOT of small houses left. I think it's fair for FCs to have priority on housing, though individuals transferring shouldn't have been part of the deal.

I really think this was a step in the right direction, but letting individuals transfer while not letting other individuals purchase new homes was an error.

Why would relocating to a larger house be unfair? Would you move in real life and not improve your house. Why relocate to begin with? If you allow relocating, there shouldn’t be limitations.

Relocating to larger spaces is fine for FCs because they naturally grow and need more space. I'm not saying individuals shouldn't relocate, but FCs should get priority due to technicalities of space.

It just seems like a very half-assed way of locking content for individuals for a limited amount of time.

We still had mediums left on Balmung as of yesterday afternoon. I don't know if that is still the case, but there were still at least 30 mediums in the Goblet left not to mention the plethora of smalls. Considering we are the highest pop realm in NA, that's actually a bit amazing.

A lot of previously homeless FCs with very little chances to get plots finally got homes, how is that a step back?

I feel like SE doesn't realize how many new members want houses and actually have the gil for it. If you've been playing for a year or longer and really wanted a house, you would already have it.

The ward my FC transferred to is a ghost town, so is the Ward we left.

It's a bit creepy, if you ask me.

Its a step back in the fact,they let people that already had a house upgrade,as they relocated.I can see a FC doing that,because they can grow and would need the more for their members,but for personal use its a bit much.

But you would have to place size minimums on houses. Because a five member FC buying a larger house is no different than an individual moving into one. If you’re saying space is the primary concern.
