Private housing is in total shambles

[SweetPete]

Honestly I think some of the FC ward homes will be empty after the closing. Not allot of people actually wanna move and some can’t even afford medium/large homes. I mean at this point, after this closing no FC should be on the forums even talking about how they can’t get no homes because SE is literally throwing all FCs a bone this first lottery.

Private home owners your time will come next time.

It's going to vary from world to world, especially if RMT is throwing in the towel as Nepentha says they're talking about in their reseller forums. Certainly lower population worlds like those in the Materia data center will have a large number of vacancies. Very high population worlds like Balmung will probably see their wards filled by the end of the third lottery period (I can't see resellers ever giving up on Balmung due to the high demand from that community).

Keep in mind this current situation only benefits those FCs that exist right now and are eligible to buy right now. In the future, it could go right back to only the occasional plot available for the FCs created or that become eligible later. Those FCs absolutely would have the right to complain.

SE should never have tied FC only content to ownership of a FC house. They should have made that content available through other means. Workshops could have been accessed through the affiliated Grand Company headquarters, just as we access our Squadron Barracks. Grade 3 FC actions could be made available for purchase using Company Credits upon attaining an appropriate rank (they still haven't added any entitlements for the last 10 FC ranks). If it weren't for that content, the need to make certain there are always plots available to FCs wouldn't exist.
