Need more wards.

[Ayan_Calvesse]

I'm being serious here. Housing does not exist to tie a player to the game. You can get an apartment with no risk of demolition.

If you want a house, you can sub one month then unsub 6 weeks in a repeating pattern to keep a house in a game you're not playing. You don't have to stay constantly subbed.

What's really dumb is people's insistence that they absolutely must own a house in a game they only play a few weeks a year at most.....

If SE follows their "normal pattern" (if you want to call adding 2 housing districts to the original 3 a pattern),....

I don't have anything to apologize for now nor will I when 7.0 is released. But at least we won't have to worry about your access to food for a few weeks because you're going to have a crazy amount of egg on your face.

As for demolition - it is always relevant to any discussion of housing supply in this game. ....

I disagree with the first statement; but given the experience is anecdotal I don't suspect either of us can prove it - if you go off the "I didn't get a house - I quit" posts then that would seem pretty indictive; but regardless; the point being that while you can "dodge" demo - your still coming back and paying a sub every 6 weeks; so thanks for proving the point there :-P.

I whole heartedly agree with the second point; the insane insistence that not having a house somehow means there is no point in playing is insane; I actually plan to tour the new wards next month on Coeurl Shiro and see how many houses are just a steward/bell and nothing else. I suspect it will be least 30% - but then again I think if SE gives everyone everything they want - they will merely leave/grow bored sooner. I think people having difficult to attain (but attainable) goals is good.

Masekase actually already made a compelling argument to that and I already acknowledged the flow. I mean mind you - thats FF in what...2028? If FF 14 still has the population it has now by then I think your looking at EQ level success there.

As for 7.0 I propose a wager then; IF by 7.0 there is not at least a announcement of more plots becoming available in the near future (such as saying in 7.x we are opening this district or adding wards) then I will happily eat 99 egg meals in game or your choosing; but you gotta be there to cheer me on. If I win however a screencap of us hugging with your apology - unless you have some adjustments you might propose for fun of it given we share the same world.

Your logic is a bit backward on demolition because referencing 3 years ago when the player base and supply were different is why your comparing two different situations. I propose the opposite; Demolition exists to increase housing supply by giving the houses of those who do not play - to those who do. If Demo did not exist; that would imply that SE has no issue with people not playing the game holding unto homes.
