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

[LuciferNacht]

none of these "thousands of empty houses waiting for you" meme matters because nobody can bid on them right now.

This is inaccurate, there are thousands of open plots right now. Wards 25-30 being closed have nothing to do with.

Simply go look. There are even tools you can google for easier access to this info.

I literally just got 3 personal larges last round, they were completely uncontested and had been sitting for over a year and that's just on one server.

Real question though, what servers?

It would have to be on some of the Materia worlds. Not even Dynamis has had larges sitting unpurchased for over a year (except in the wards still not open for purchase).

The problem will continue to be supply existing on the lower population worlds that players don't want to be on while the congested worlds have stiff competition over what little does become available each lottery period. It will always be a problem with the ward system if SE continues to give every world the same number of wards. Players might complain about not being able to get a house, but they don't want those houses badly enough to move to the worlds that have houses available.

Housing Mirage will help some if it does get implemented and if it applies to apartments and houses but it still won't satisfy all the reasons that create demand.

If the server transfer is free and my ping doesn't suffer, I wouldn't mind at all being on those lower population worlds
I just lost another bid on a small FC house in my current server

I really just want instanced housing at this point or a free server transfer for all of my characters to a less populated server with other house decorating enthusiasts like myself

Being on Sargatanas, which is currently classified as a Congested world, you would be eligible to transfer for free to both New worlds and Preferred worlds. If you are in NA, Dynamis data center has New worlds (with thousands of small houses) but there are currently no NA Preferred worlds.

I appreciate you taking the time to find this, Thank you

I'll add if you want to stay in NA, avoid Seraph for housing. It's far more populated than the other 3 Dynamis worlds. You should see no difference in ping on Dynamis as all NA logical data centers are at the same physical location.

You may want to use data center travel to visit Dynamis to see exactly what is currently available. The ward designations for the Dynamis and Materia worlds remain different from the other worlds.

Wards 1-9 are FC only.
Wards 10-24 are personal only.
Wards 25-30 are not open for purchase.

Dead ones.

So, to be clear, you have 3 different accounts that you got 3 personal larges on? Since you can't have more than one private on any server on any one account.

Out of curiosity, since you can't resell them or have submarines, what's the point? I can understand the logic behind people who multi-own FCs since you can gil farm but I don't get the logic with private houses unless this is just a flex thing.

[Yodada]

Its one Private per Server. So you can have at least 81 Privates (28 NA, 32 JP, 16 EU, 5 OCE) per Account. Including FCs you can add additionally 160 (limited by 40 Characters per Region) Houses on top.
