[Housing] 1 House Per Service Account. 1 FC Per Service Account.

Instanced housing should be implemented.
Demolition timer should be removed entirely.

The fact they put the auto demo timer back on isnt random, neither covid or the Ukraine/Russia war are over, but they need to keep people subscribed and that's the only way to do it.

For all the people suggesting to have houses as FC only, that's how it worked long ago, and the wards were barely in use.

Yes, so much this. I like personal housing, it's what I enjoy most about the game. People act like FCs are all super active but they aren't. Most of the time they are ghost towns where you see a random member port in and jump around the yard once in a while. Just like people with personal housing, except you get to be the one to decorate in a personal.

The idea of restricting to FCs and removing personal housing from people serves nothing other than spiting people that have something they don't. Something needs to be done to increase housing for all but that ain't it.

There is housing, people just don't want smalls. I mean, I don't blame them for wanting bigger. They should probably reevaluate the FC ward distribution though, especially on Dynamis.

I went with a small for my FC just because it was all that was available at the time that no one else had bid on. I definitely would prefer a bigger house to do more decorating, and hopefully I can win the one I bid on this time around. If I don't win, I will just have to keep what we have and see what else I can do to improve it. Though, my personal medium is getting rather full, and the treasury isn't even fully done(still got lots of "trophy" items to get and put in there).

I will assume you didnt read my post fully, over 400 houses are still with 0 bids on Brynhildr alone, you are on Balmung, in that particular case it's self inflicted. Feel free to move to Dynamis or to a different world with more housing availability, or ask for more wards for ONLY Balmung and very select worlds, EU does not need more wards, there are still so many plots available even on Cerberus or Ragnarok which are the biggest worlds for Europe. Let people take the goblet and empy plots, and then you can call it a housing crisis, until then, it's self inflicted, I want a Shiro 60 as main personal house, that's my wish, doesnt mean I'll get it, and in the meantime I'd gladly take a goblet 35 or 60. Stop bidding on a plot with 60 bids, while you have another large with 5 or less. This whole issue lies on the players and not on the system. There are so many instances that I could show of people REFUSING to bid on a plot right next door because the localization is a bit worse, they would rather bid on a plot with 14 bids, than one with 1 right behind it, because "muh beachfront". Stop it.



The amount of available houses say otherwise. It's widely available, the only problem is those damn 9 days cycle that make it agonizing to wait to see if you've won. And since a lot of people will ONLY bid on medium and large as long as they are available, well yes, they will lose.

All of those Bryn houses WILL be taken with 1-2 more cycles. This is a problem across all of NA outside of Dynamis for being new, and telling people to change DCs rather than telling developers to put funding into the game's infrastructure isn't the answer.

You are literally on the world with the biggest population of all worlds, and you are complaining about lack of houses, give me a break lol. And we'll see what happens, dont forget auto demos, more medium and larges will auto demo in less than a month from now, it will get a lot of bids on them, it wont all be taken by 2 cycles. As for balmung as I said earlier, it's self inflicted. You can move to a different world, it's free too, data center travel is also a thing so you wont lose your friends, if you dont want to, then stay on the most populated world in the game and deal with the scarcity of houses.

There have been threads for years asking for them to do something about housing and which their answer has been more wards and a lottery system with basically no acknowledgement of an instanced housing system.

Forgive us for not wasting our breath on that pipe dream now, it gets pretty tiring.

Problem is Square doesnt care about NA. Only JP matters. If JP has no problems nobody is having problems. From their PoV they are just adding a new DC/Worlds to lessen or spreading out the population with the incentive of additional housing on top. For them the problem is solved. Next addon start we will see the „cant login - queue is too high“ crybabies again. But those could have moved to a new DC as well. Same for the desperate Housing people on the other NA Worlds. Balmongians believing in Square that they will add enough houses to Bangmung are just delusional to accept that the Square is going with the more Worlds route.

Even with the new ward distribution, I'm seeing very few take up in the converted wards 9-12 in Dynamis so there's definitely no shortage of houses. I think most of the players went back to their old servers since it's much easier to get housing again with the 6 new wards so they would rather play in an active DC than a low pop one like Dynamis.

Over 400 houses? Are you including FC houses too? Why?
