Worst housing system in the world

[Jojoya]

LOL as if anything will change.

Things will change since they do plan to have the game running at least another 10 years if not longer.

Those changes may not be what we want or feel we need, though.

Yes, NA is getting a new DC with 4 new servers (as you said in August). They intend to increase it at some point in 2023 to 8 total for that new NA DC, of course with DC travel implemented prior there shouldn't be any problems visiting one to continue doing content such as Ex trials/Savage/Ultimate with a static, if I am understanding what they've said about it correctly. Sadly though even with another 4 new servers and even the maximum 8 it still will not be enough in terms of wards for housing. As it stands 4 new servers, if they keep it with this nonsensical 75/25 split for FC/Personals, I think they should inverse it personally, it works out to 7200 personal homes with the 4 new servers, and 14400 with all 8. Then you gotta compound it with the number of smalls which lets be real, no one really wants, as most players I feel want a medium or a large.

Getting veteran players to transfer to the new data center for NA is going to be a very hard sell after watching what is happening with Materia.

World economies - it will be hard to sell items when players can hop data centers to buy on other worlds with greater supply and lower prices on their marketboards.

Duty queues - queue waits will be excessively long so it would make more sense to hop data centers to where there are more active players queueing.

Party Finder - Party Finder will be near empty outside of the attention seeking messages that get left so it would make more sense to hop data centers where there are more active Party Finders.

The new worlds might appeal to players who prefer playing solo (especially now Duty Assist will allow players to complete everything required for the MSQ except 8 man trials and Crystal Tower solo) but they'll be bad for those who want a MMO experience.

Is it going to be worth transferring just to get a house when likely you're going to want to spend the bulk of your time on a different data center?
