Suggestion: relocation should be subject to the same timer as first time buyers.

I have 3 houses and I don't believe existing homeowners should have the advantage of bypassing timers. We should have to wait and click like everyone else. It's so sad people wait for hours and we just swoop in and take the house away.

I don't think relocation should be removed but I strongly feel there should be a very long cd for it. I read on reddit that the cd for relocation is only 5 minutes. What a freaking joke. Why SE think players would ever need to relocate several times in a single day just escapes me. Some players use relocation to troll first time buyers (sadly some have more gil than decency) and even relocate several times. This has to stop.

The cd for relocation should at the very least be 24 hours. Or put up a stacking cost if you relocate several times within a lockout. Maybe both.

Agreed.

While I managed to relocate to the large I been looking for since we known about additional wards but I had FC members who been wanted a house for months and a big struggle find a plot that didnt have a timer on it. Even on Zodiark which is what i consider a smaller EU server (though they all fairly equal nowadays) had a big issue of this.

Relocation itself may not be the root issue, but it was on these new wards.

Frankly relocation, or a very extended relo, should always be present on NEW wards. The new wards were supposed to be a bandaid for people looking for their first home. Relocators bought the new plots then relo'ed where they wanted to, effectively undoing the insta-buy intention that was part of the incentive of these new wards.

The existing system, though obviously there for a reason, was exploited. Was this an oversight? Absolutely. These three wards were supposed to be timer free - that was their intention. By buying then relo'ing on the NEW plots, they were changed to work like the old wards - and that was not the intention per the Live Letters.

Whenever new wards are up they should be locked out for relo in order to give new purchasers priority. And if you already own a home, then demolish it and take your chances.

Relocation itself wasn't really the problem. The problem was the lack of an effective cooldown timer between purchase/relocations. If people had to wait 24 hours before they moved again, a small part of Tuesday's drama wouldn't have happened.

It still wouldn't have helped those who still weren't able to get a plot because the supply isn't big enough.
