Edited to add: I think EU auto-demo is on now? I forgot, they keep going back and forth about it.
Because it is not their idea of housing.
Housing was supposed to be "I'm part of a group, the house is our headquarter" and the starting prices were so high that only an active group of players could afford to buy an house (no matter if we had money from 1.0, 300m in 2.1 was an huge sum).
Everyone can change his idea, SE has changed (in part) his idea about what housing is in FFXIV, but the core remains: an aggregation tool for groups of players with "something" in common (friendship, RPG, chatting...).


EU auto demo is off, for the Turkey earthquake.
