Did Island Sanctuary satisfy any reasons you want a house?

[BIues]

Island Sanctuary was REPEATEDLY stated that it wouldnt be a means to satisfy any housing need. So no, I didnt expect it would fulfill housing needs. And it hasnt. I still have mountains of housing rewards Im unable to use.
That being said though I do quite agree that now having seen what they are capable of in terms of INSTANCED solo content, I wonder why we cant have such a housing format.

We are constantly given housing furnishings as reward but all too few can use them due to housing demand, especially if said rewards are "outdoor furnishings" as Apartments do not allow for such functionality. Which leads me into my argument. If Island Sanctuary is possible, then so is SOLO instanced housing. I hope that after using Island Sanctuary as a trial run of sorts, the developers will try to create another option for housing. One especially for the common players who have otherwise been incapable of obtaining regardless of their many futile attempts.

You do realize that they are pointedly not capable of instanced housing. The day Island Sanctuary came out, entire servers were locked out of housing wards and their island because they use the same server. I cannot imagine the strain real instanced housing would cause. They simply do not have the server space, apparently.

You mean it's like every player decided to check out their new Island at the same time, causing instance servers to be temporarily overloaded.

I haven't had problems getting into my housing on any of my characters or on my islands for my characters that have them since Saturday night.

It's only a problem when everyone wants to get into their housing or Island Sanctuary at the same time. Now that people have had a chance to see what the content is like, it's no longer an issue.

So then why are people still getting the error?

What world and what time of day? I could see Balmung and Mateus possibly still having problems because they have both have over 16k end game characters compared to the 13-14k on the other NA worlds. EU worlds have 11-12k and JP worlds are all under 10k except for Tonberry (just over that).

But I've been popping in and out of the Island Sanctuaries for my characters on Coeurl during the afternoon and evening prime time since Sunday without getting the error. With 4 difficult characters I'm switching between, you'd think I'd be hitting the error on at least one of them.
