Ishgard Residential District Confirmed

[Vahlnir]

See you guys in about a year when Ishgard housing has gone live and we get a dozen different sour grapes threads about it and how the housing problem still isn't fixed?

Ishgard was their chance to fix the core problem of housing. Seems like they are content with how things are. Hopefully their definition of increased supply actually puts a sizeable dent in the demand.

It's potentially a problem they have issues fixing or think we're just whining about it in the west... but based off census data I've seen, the lowest population server in NA has more players than the highest in JP. This implies that while in JP the number of houses available on those servers is more in line with the number of players, while on ours, we have far more players than houses.

Also on a selfish note, I do hope they repeat the trend of opening it to moving and FCs first... mostly so I can move from Kugane to Ishgard.

They will probably open it to FCs and relocators first like before, unless they actually do add enough supply to meet the demand (LOL! As if that will ever happen.)

Ishgard Housing (Unreal) will be quite the trial.
But I'm hoping Square will address, explain, and maybe the whole island sanctuary will be the instanced housing everyone called for while having the usual residential district be the garbled mess that it is.
