Open Letter to SE:Redesign Apartment Interiors & Make Apartments Relocatable to Plots

[Penthea]

or even make apartments relocatable into small plots.

This would render the placard timer irrelevant. While I hate that blasted thing your relocation idea won't fix much of anything because the fact is we have so many unhappy players due to a shortage of houses. Not because players can't relocate from apartments.

If relocation from apartments was possible there would be just as many unhappy players because that change does not increase the amount of houses in the game. The root of the problem is the lack of houses.

The change we need to apartments is significant upgrades for them. Right now they're just fc rooms with a chocobo stable. You have a very small room to decorate, no cross planting, no outdoor space to use outdoor furnishings, no tenancy, and fcs cannot use them. They're not a legitimate alternative to housing because they lack so many of the features houses have.

If apartments were bigger, could have more than one room or floor, had a balcony to use outdoor furnishings, the ability to crossplant, have tenancy, and fcs could use them complete with a workshop and fc rooms...then the housing situation would improve quite a lot without needing to add more houses. The only completely absent feature would be the ability to use outdoor housing skins.

Of course even if we had the above players would still want houses but at least they would not be locked out of so many features so many wouldn't feel as bad about not having a house if their apartment offered mostly the same features. Many players want a house specifically because apartments lack the upgrades I listed. Especially in the case of fcs given that apartments are currently strictly for individual use.
