Question for home owners: if instanced housing was implemented at the cost of whatever house(s) you own being essentially deleted from existence, would you be able to make peace with losing access to your old house(s)? Interested in particular to hear what multiple house owners have to say on the hypothetical.

No LOL but this won't happen anyway.

Yes. We would ALL have houses then, not just me, so why wouldn’t I be ok with it? Because I cant watch the dust bunnies strolling around the neighbourhood? Its the only sign of life my “neighbourhood” gets. Can definitely live without that if it means everyone gets a house.

What MMO doesn't have FOMO?

The ironic part is that the FOMO here is far less than it is in most other MMOs. There's no reason to fear that an expansion's worth of content is suddenly going to be unavailable. You'll still be able to get that mount from EX even if it means getting the tokens while other MMOs will leave you at the mercy of 0.5% drop chance each time you kill the boss.

The weird thing about FOMO is everyone misses out on more in life than they get a chance to experience. Why stress over missing out on something ultimately trivial in a game but not on all those other opportunities you're bypassing in life (sometimes because you've chosen to play a game instead)? Accept you're not going to be able to get everything you want and FOMO disappears.

On the other hand, for a game that has worked hard to make certain players have access to content it's very strange that they ignore this one content area considering other games choose a system that makes sure all players have access to it.

So you don't mind companies engaging in greedy practices but as long as it's not the "worst" then it's okay? That's Stockholm syndrome m8... :^(

Interesting thread.

My wife and I both used to own larges on malboro and played every day. Then Hurricane Harvey Hit my house and I lost everything. Was living in a "hotel" with my family for over a year with no internet access. Still paid my sub and my wifes during that time. Came back and both houses were gone. Very Depressing -- My wife and I walked away from the game.

Eventually (shortly after spriggan opened) I decided to try to play again and moved my account across the pond to spriggan and was able to snag one of the Very Last larges remaining.

Id love to come back to the NA data centers if they ever opened new servers. Unfortunately, as its not FCFS with new servers, theres no way ill move my account just for a "chance" at a house, when i already have one.

Just some perspective -- I'm not advocating anything either way.

On round 1 of lottery on a fresh server, you can probably find a guaranteed winning bid for any large plot besides Mist 5/35 or Lavender Beds 28/58. Just wait til the last day of bidding and take your pick.

They definitely should add an npc that enters you into a lottery for ANY house in ANY housing area (depending on the amount of gil you give him). People who want a specific plot can still try their luck with the regular lottery, but some people might just want A house and having to restrict themselves to 1 plot every week or so is ridiculously ineffective...

This probably the best idea I've seen for a positive version if the current lottery system.

I still would like more unique options, but your idea is a great one.

I have a mansion and med and I'd be fine with losing both if everyone else can have a house. small price to pay

No thank you. Wards aren't going to go away. Adding new content perhaps but out with the old and in with the new isn't going to happen.
