Stuff like THIS is the reason Housing is a Joke -- SE please do something about this!

NOTE: This is on Diablos, on Crystal. Even if it's not a busy server, it's one of the busiest DCs. So even worse.

we're actually the least busiest DC, but that doesn't give an excuse. this has been a problem on mateus too. its unfortunate

Crystal is home to Mateus and Balmung, which in turn have a very large population of role-players. The strain when it comes to getting a house is even bigger there as a result because role-players are more likely to want and use one compared to regular players.

This is very true. There are a lot of RP nightclubs and bars etc. Irs sort of unfortunate though for OP.

im aware that it is, but my statement still stands. crystal is the only datacenter with preferred servers, currently at 5 (diabolos being one of them). balmung is the only server thats temporarily contested (at this exact time) but its still a standard server. balmung is no longer the most popular server either, gilgamesh, leviathan and a few others pass it with active characters. even inactive, a few still pass balmung.

as i said in my original post, this DOES NOT GIVE AN EXCUSE, i am not defending said person, i was merely correcting one statement while also saying a ward being bought out by a single (or few) folks is a problem in mateus as well, and it shouldn't be. we all know the housing system has been messed up, and SE knows it is too.
