Tips on getting your first house or getting a relocation in 5.35

[Arazehl]

Something else that will be different this time around with new housing, will be login. No more slamming the start button over and over, then getting "World is Full" message. You'll be put in a queue, Backing out and trying again will only put you further back in the queue.

Once you're in the queue with a thousand or so waiting you just have to wait as they let the first hundred load into the character select screen, then the game at a time. This was done to prevent login crashes and server crashes like before.

I do know this, there will be many disappointed players Tuesday that won't get a house for one reason or another. I truly hate that everyone cannot have a house, but it's what we face and have dealt with for a long time.

Remember don't be greedy, or rude to each other. Be happy for those that got their house. You still have Ishgard housing district coming out at some point. Good luck everyone!

Will you see that you are in a queue? Or do you have to guess and hope you are in one?

And thank you all for the tips, at least I will know I have tried my hardest.

I made the decision when the notes hit, if I miss out on a house because I work for a living I will cancel my subscription.
Waited too long and tried to many times on the waster timer to ever want to go through that again. If SE cannot be bothered to make enough plots available I do not see why I should be paying.

Wait... does the "Play" button turn from grey to green on the current client the moment the servers are available? If not, is there a way to refresh it? Cause I remember the old client doesn't do that and had to close client and reopen to see the green button.

I don’t think it automatically turns green but what you can do to refresh it without closing it out is to click on the server status then click back over to login and that should refresh it. I believe that should work. If anyone else knows for sure hopefully they will respond to this post. Good luck.

Do we know when the update ends? From what I heard it will be around 12:00 AM, around the time everyone is working. But will it be longer since the housing is involved? If so, will it be around 15:00?

If you are relocating, make sure your indoor and outdoor storage has enough storage left for items you currently have placed

[B]To relocate...
5. Check Social -> Housing -> Estate Settings -> Storeroom Status (image below)

I included in my follow-up post where to check this. Thanks for double checking, nonetheless.

Yes, it will tell you that you're in queue after you choose a character to login with. Make sure to choose the correct character if you have alts and do not exit queue as there's now a short wait before you can requeue.

So how does one get the money for a house? I noticed that even a small house has a starting purchase price of 3mil. O.o I only have 2.5 mil.
