Do the new housing plots seem smaller ?

[Boldprint]

i thought they looked like they had less space too, but it could just be me. i really wish SE would remove the grandfather for letting people have more then 1 plot per account.

[Ashgarth]

I've checked out the new Ishgard plots.
To me it looked like the large plots seem to be as big as the medium slots we have atm..

Do I need glasses? or am I not the only one seeing this?

They are not, the highlighted area does not acurately represent the size of the houses. If you happen to find an open plot anywhere else it will look the same.

Thanks all so far for taking the time to reply and even post photo's to compare

I hope you are right Arazehl and Ashgarth, they might expand once you buy one.


I've been working for months to finally affort a large plot, so I would be a shame if I am lucky to win the lotery for buying a house and then seeing that it's the same size as my medium plot
(large mansion is kinda end game for me for this expansion so I am looking forward to it)

I've given up on housing. I don't particularly like the idea of this lottery for the house. While the old system can promote unhealthy habits, at least, with persistence, you could get a house. I prefer that to something like this. Even with the eventual addition of a new datacenter and worlds, I still have little faith in winning a proper plot. Rather, I already have a small, but I wanted to get a larger one.

Don't give up my friend, this might be the only way to get a new house...at least try it when the lottery starts
After the houses are sold the chance of ever getting one will be alot and I mean ALOT smaller.


I don't like the rng of the lottery myself but a small chance is always better then no chance at all
(I've been looking at plots for the last 1/2 year or so and i saw alot of small houses for sale...i've seen 1 medium plot for sale (which i was lucky to buy) but there where 0 large plots for sale on my server during these months and I've checked every day)

Yeah, I'll still try my hand at getting a larger plot, I'm just pretty demoralized about it. Hopefully I can actually get lucky with the lottery!

I case I will be lucky with the lottery and you are not, I might invite you to my guild so you can be a part of it and share the house.


The 1st week I would spend all my time in it to decorate and making it look cool, then enjoying it for a couple of more weeks, then I would be open for other people to do the same....
put away all my stuff and place your own or resuse my items..keeping it for a couple of weeks and then someone else may have his/her turn.

The only reason why I don't do that now is that I don't trust random people. all the stuff in my house I've gathered and made myself or bought from the housing vendor
So alot of time and gill went into it.



But it might be time for me to make new friends and start to trust people over time to let this happen.
So for everyone that is reading this...you are welcome to join my free company if you want to enjoy my guild house ..or be part of a free company.
I don't feel the need to make events for guildies...but if people want to make events and need the house to change (making a dance floor for example for a music party)..I am happy to do that
and once i build some good relations with people over time I will let others have acces to changing the house as they please


If you want to check out the house ..just to visit or see what I have to offer..please come by.
8/9 rooms we have are mine (yes I love having alts ..also to have more rooms) so feel free to check them out and I hope you will enjoy your visit

Plot 36
Ward 7 (the gobles ..medium house)

Can confirm this, I just went ahead and measured the actual size of the entire plot and it is the same size in both Empyreum and in Mist. I believe the reason that the highlight is so big is simply because that's how far out the houses porch can reach.

Well the 2nd lottery period should be damn good too...with all those that are relocating. But after that it's gonna be a few smalls each time...don't plan on any mediums and certainly no mansions. I got lucky as hell to get my medium. In the 2 years I've been playing I have only ever seen 2 mediums for grabs.

I'm not so sure the 2nd will be a large one. Unlike FCFS releases in the past (like the three new wards) where there was a large number of small owners who could upgrade instantly. This time will be people trying to relocate in the 1 time per 9 day window AND mixed in with every homeless person and their dog on those same more desirable plots.

The chances will be miniscule to get a medium or large as a relocation, when so many homeless will try for them too, and that means less plots in the second pass. I think on NA servers the 2nd lottery will be around 1%, so 14 properties. Maybe less.
