Plots everywhere demolished and open!

It’s very nice. I would say between 5.35 and this the housing situation on my server has just about been solved. If we get ishgard soon then I would say houses are available for all who want if the demolitions go back to normal.

But now it obviously becomes about getting medium and large. But still this is a really good step lots of happy people today.

Quite a lot of plots still in the Goblet on my server Zodiark, and timers have mostly expired now, just snatched it up when I decided to log in for 10 minutes. No waiting or camping necessary.

Not the case on Excalibur. In fact, most of the houses that were available at my time of posting last night are gone. I have searched ward by ward. The only things that are left now are a few with a 3 hour timer. Every single plot had a timer.

... and about 2-4 bots sitting right outside them, scripting the sale, am I right?

That's what it is on Levi right now.

I am making my runs through the wards, while waking up, and making breakfast. I have finished the Lavender Beds, for example. I have been marking notes in notepad, so I can keep track of backup locations in 3 hours. In the LB there are 4 smalls available TOTAL, 2-3 people camping each one.

I'd prefer a house in the Lavender Beds, but I doubt I'll get one. I am kind of OCD, in that my character's city state is gridania, so I want my house in gridania. Hopefully I can find an alternative.

Update: So far, Goblet has 2-3 campers per house as well.

And it's EVERY ONE -- and most of them have the frown face (Do Not Contact). I mean, they have more gil than basically any legitimate player and can just park and script.

You basically almost HAVE TO break the TOS right now to even THINK of getting player housing.

Depends where you’re playing. On Cerberus I can go to any ward and walk up to a house the timer expired on and buy it.

Finished my evaluation of The Goblet. There are 20 small plots available, only 2 (at the time of typing) without at least 1-3 people camping it, with, as you say, the frown face. Every single house has a timer. Moving on to The Mist. Will go back in in another 40 minutes to an hour to reevaluate, and choose a location. If I can't get a house in a couple hours, I will have wasted my early morning.

Update: In total there are 5 small plots available in The Mist. Each with 2-3 camping them. Unless some of these people are legitimate, and actually afk, I expect all available housing to be purchased in under 2 hours. Kugane housing has 0 available plots, as expected.

To wrap it all up, there are 29 available SMALL plots on Excalibur - with a timer of just under 2 hours.

Depends where you’re playing. On Cerberus I can go to any ward and walk up to a house the timer expired on and buy it.

A perk of playing on a dead server.

Most long term players know that buying a house is the worst thing you can do in the game due to how it got implemented. You lose the ability to drop the game for a while and come back fresh instead of being dragged through the game until it loses all it's magic. Believe me, I've been there. Just about everyone who left and said they would remember to log on at least once to keep their house while taking a three month or six month hiatus lost their house.

Specifically three or four people I had on my friends list who stopped at 5.2x and didn't log on even when I told them in discord that they were going to lose their plots. :x

Yea this is what I did on my alt on Malboro no one camping in the Goblet. Really didn't look around just walked up and simply bought one. When I popped back into Aether which I have a med. plot on already. People were camping the sought out spots but no one camping the undesirable goblet spots. I still stand by get the first one that pops up even it is undesirable. Having a plot is better than nothing and it unlocks the opportunity upgrade and bypass future timers on desirable plots.

Is it a bot when I see these people looking up and down at the board every few seconds?
