Please more housing wards soon. And no more FC/Private Hybrid.

Yes that makes sense in real life but this is a video game. I come here to have fun, not to ponder if I should cripple myself across several subjects just for the sake of a better shot at a house I want.

If Square wants for people to move to empty servers there are better ways of doing it then make housing shitty for anyone in more populated servers.



That’s another reason why I consider wards a failed housing system. It either takes too much resources on less populated servers and entire wards worth of smalls sit empty, or too little resources and people in more popular places cannot get a house.

You are still creatIng problems where there is none, it is obvious some of the servers is over populated for some silly reason, and that is why you run into the housing bottleneck...

There is 1000s of houses out there spread out on servers on each DC, it is a sacrefice either you go to somewhere, where you can get a house or you stay where you are, get into an open minded FC that allows its players to redecorate and the likes instead, or something down those lines.

There is too many wards already and there is to many vacant houses to justify adding more wards.

I was able to purchase a small lot in Brynhildr on my 3rd try a little over a year ago. I have bid on a medium lot on almost every bid for 1 year straight without getting one. I notice when I wait til the end right before results pop there is always 20-40 bids pop up in the last few minutes. Can we please get more housing. There is so much gil spent in the housing market. This additional housing will help all around.
1. More happy players.
2. A more robust auction market for crafters and gatherers.
3. More Gil for everyone that is a by-product of the housing market.
4. The trickle-down effect of this would be a boom for those who profit off of crafting and gathering.
5. The online store could sell a bigger variety of housing items since it gives no competitive advantage to players.

I agree with you. Why would you want to move away from all of your friends? Your whole gaming experience built around relationships to enjoy your experience. I wonder how many of these people telling you to move already have the house that they want.

THey do. If not MULTIPLE of those they have if not entire wards to them selves. but hey. :shrug:

...on a quieter server they are telling you to also move to so that you could buy a house too? What is not clicking...?

I don't think anyone is telling anyone else to move because they think that's how it should be to get a house. I think they're telling you that because it really is the best chance you have in the situation we're in now.

Moving allowed me, with some luck, to get exactly the Mansion and FC house I and my FC wanted, without settling. I can still play with all of my old friends on Ultros because we have DC travel, and they can come and visit my house. I don't feel at a loss for doing so. I'd like you not to have to, but it's really the best shot anyone has and that shot is quickly disappearing as we reach 7.0.

Let's all just enjoy Sukiyaki

Alternatively, if you just want a housing experience, you can always create an alternative character and you don’t need to move your main

Except characters on the same account cannot be made tenants (outside of old characters where players used an exploit to get their characters friended with each other).

Players would prefer to have their houses on their mains that they are playing, not an alt that exist only get a house their character can visit but not use.

I'm still in the camp of "if you want a house that badly, move to where they are available". For now, that's the best chance of being able to get a house in NA. Data center travel allows players to continue playing with their friends. I don't see SE opening up more wards when they want players spreading out more to help reduce log-in congestion issues at expansion launch and the first couple of major patch releases.

A lot of players are happy to share their houses with their friends. Ask around. You may not have to buy if your friend if less than inspired when it comes to decorating but you are.

Also, if you're not using your house then please relinquish it. If you're not using it now, and especially if you've never used it since you bought it, do you honestly think you're ever going to get around to using it in the future?

Mao uses house constantly. Mao nots do much redecoratings now though because glitchings so hard on Mao. If some day SE brings in XYZ positionings then Mao gonna go CRAZY with redecoratings!
