Opening of housing on new worlds

[Dagget]

So FC's made by the 11th will be able to participate in the 1st go-round of the FC wards

[Rhea_]

Private buyers will be unable to purchase plots in wards 1-12. Those are already designated as FC purchase only. FCs won't be missing out because of that, at least.

I was referring to private will be the only group that can enter first lottery period, unless I’m mistaken. FC will have to wait.

I suspect SE picked the date for a specific reason, either countering issues they saw with the way OCE was handled, or some other info they have as regards bot shell FC's etc.

Will it really make a difference in the long run though?

It might! Depending on how many bot shell FC's were made in time to join the 1st available lottery FC's can participate in, they may not be positioned to put many bids on every large plot and not even participate in many medium plots; something they could otherwise do if given several months to prepare enough sell FC's.

No people will complain no matter what.

SE waits for 30 days "Wah you're giving time for shell FCs to move"
SE doesn't wait for 30 days "Wah, Shell FCs are the only ones who had the foresight to think ahead and make an alt before moving over their mains"...

This will cycle endlessly.

It's going to be an interesting drama once all large and medium are gone, that's for sure.

Took a lot of cycles to go on my ward on Sophia. The two other large plots finally sold with the new wave of privates allowed. There are 26 unsold plots including mediums in my subdivision ward and that's pretty typical of many of them. Other servers have tons of plots available. I don't think that will be the case in the EU which is a lot more established.

Why would so called shell FC move to the new servers if they already have houses on there current server?
I think it more of a concern that they are doing this so only the FC who was created on July 5th, when the new worlds opened and not delaying the sales until a month from today, when they opened the ability for people to migrate to the new servers.

Not to mention, I don't think anyone imagined HWT being down for 2 weeks.

Just a new log to throw into the fire pit that is housing.



But wouldn't it make sense before a server opens to clarify. "We will open server July 5th housing cycle will begin July 20th." or maybe "We would like a fresh start on housing for our new server. Transfers locked until 50% of plots are taken by newly created characters. Limiting the amount of bots claiming housing. We will also be using this as a chance to review gil circulation."


SE needs a real PR//community team. The devs should stop doing LL. This isn't the small community pre 2.0. They seem to handle everything poorly. Some of these decisions take two seconds to realize, wow this is going to make people mad.
