This game needs way more wards!

At the moment at the european data center Twintania is the only server with available housing in Gridania. All the other servers have no available housing plots for sale.

How is this acceptable?

Also how are Zodiark and lich "preffered servers" but making character "is not available at this time", Sound to me like twintania should be a preffered server and lich and zodiark should attain "congested" status.

In fact, they should just make ALL servers with sold out plots automatically change into "congested" worlds, because if there are no available housing plots, the world is congested.
Disagree square enix? Then how about you just add more wards already?

It's because the worlds are full. There is always a waiting list to get into those servers I know that is the case for me on Spriggan as well as many other servers I have characters on. The game has lots of people playing, lots of new people, so given the world is full it restricts the character creation for those worlds. Simplly amazing because i get these queues even when people should be sleeping or at work.

I think it's not a problem with numbers of players but the number who are actually active and playing the game.

I disagree on that one, instanced housing get boring really fast as it feel pointless. Well it feels like playing the sims all alone in your house. Your action are meaningless since nobody will be impacted.

Considering you barely even see anyone loitering around their houses, I don't think many people care about the neighborhood aspect. Regardless, the main priority should be allowing everyone to have a house not making a feature where only a faction of your player base can enjoy it. Imagine if the next 24 man only awarded loot to the first 1,000 participates or that only 100 players could get the mount for clearing Savage. The backlash would be absolutely immense.

That all being said, Ishgard housing will likely come out sometime in Shadowbringers. So that will certainly add a lot more housing options.

Are all the apartments sold out too....

Apartments are a poor comparison. They're little more than glorified FC rooms. If we could increase the size and make them into say, a penthouse suite or a loft, then Apartments may have wound up the solution the devs hoped for. Alas, we cannot. So no one really cares about them.

I'm fairly certain the dev could make apartments better if the community would make actual post about it, but they would rather make 600 post about needing more wards and not being about to own the mansion on the hill. Apartments are instance housing, tell SE how to fix them ><

I've seen plenty of posts in several threads on how they could improve apartments, and I've made several of those posts myself. If they're not gonna overhaul the whole system, they should be adding more wards AND updating apartments to leave options to be larger and adding an outdoor space for crossbreed gardening.

adding an outdoor space for crossbreed gardening.

That has been hinted as coming in the future with a minion farm even if not attached directly to housing.

I mean you say that but before I necro posted a thread the Housing forums had 7 complaint threads about housing plot and zero about apartment improvements.
