[Salt thread] Owning a House Offically became Dead content for me

[Deveryn]

Players can solo open and close Instanced dungeons, or visit instanced areas like Inn rooms.
Why players cant have instanced houses, or even instanced FC wards?
Why do we have half/fully dead wards, + people who fights for housing, and some of them even forced to server change.
Ask house owners, most of them gonna say, that their neighbors are ded.

Each item in house has 4 coordinates, these coordinates are rounded, so I believe its a 2-4 bytes value, 8-16 bytes in total.
Plus item got link:id and color code, lets link gonna be 32bit value aka 4 bytes (maybe 8 in worse) and color code is 1-2 bytes value.
So in sum we have like 13-26 bytes for each item in house, lets round to 32 bytes, ok.

So 100 items gonna take 3200 bytes of space, and 200-300 items gonna take 6400-9600 bytes of data. So Large house gonna take like 10kbytes of data.
Are u telling me, that in 2022 player cant have additional 10kbytes of data for "free", so we have to play around this "ward" nonsense?

If it were only so simple. The trouble is likely the ward system itself, which has everything split into 2 spaces (more for FCs). There are about half a million plots all together. What's supposed to happen with those? Any addition / change would disrupt those people in some way, so things are kinda stuck as they are.

so things are kinda stuck as they are.

It does not matter anyway, just "adding some salt".
Housing system is designed to force player to pay the sub, or else u gonna loose all ur housing progress.
And my fantasies with own FC wards, where friends can place houses next to each other will be a fantasy.

Game has a lot of other issues like clunky chat, awful friend list functionality, small datacenters (with long queues), laggy marcos and etc. And housing only somewhere on middle of the list, to fix it now.
