a lack of apartments.

[Jojoya]

I'm aware that when folk tend to voice their grievances with the lack of private and fc plots, folk tend to point them toward apartments as a viable solution.

After a while I bit the bullet and decided to just get one.

Unfortunately I noticed a blatant lack of apartments available, which resulted in a several hour hunt. With some outside assistance, I managed to snatch up one - unfortunately, once the available apartments were announced they were promptly snatched up in the span of one day.

With a notable lack of apartments on populated servers, is there any possible way to alleviate the issue or make it easier to check if apartments are available instead of having to port to each division or sub-division?

Edit: I've just been informed that all Balmung apartments are gone. So basically I just barely dodged a bullet.

SE said that adding more wings to apartment buildings would be relatively easy to do (compared to adding new wards) if it became necessary. That's a part of why they're not subject to demolition. Here's to hoping they do that sooner not later.

Sounds like Balmung just filled. I had checked about 2 months ago when helping a friend and was able to find several dozen available in Goblet (primarily the subdivision buildings). It makes sense considering the influx of new players we've had in recent weeks. There will be the occasional apartment becoming available as players transfer off world but they're going to be rare.
