My server generally has competition even for smalls. But when there’s a medium or a large up for bids, of course people go for it, because it’s a lotto. You have just as much luck winning one of those as you do for a small, so why not take a chance on what you really want when they open up so rarely? I only had the old medium at all because I got it under auto-relocation: if you saw an empty house, you could instantly relocate and bypass the placard clicking. And that’s why the old advice was always “grab what you can, you can always relocate later.” But you can’t do that anymore without auto-relo, you’re competing in yet another lotto.

I’m also pretty much done with the whole idea of saying “just transfer servers.” What they should have done when they opened new DCs like Dynamis was force new characters to be created there to populate the world. But they didn’t, even with the Xbox release, so those worlds didn’t get filled up as much they could/should have. We have lots of posts about how people regret transferring, because they might get a house, but they can’t run content on their home world most of the time to enjoy it!

I’m hoping the interior size remodel will at least give those that want to upgrade a chance to have the interior of their dreams at least. (And I’m biased but I think the yards and housing skins look better on smalls anyways. lol) But that still requires being able to get a small in the first place. An instanced option of some kind is long overdue.
Exactly.. it's what im trying to say. MY PERSONAL RNG is so bad. i have not won a single house since housing came out, the new one i mean... so how can i be a bad person for going for Med, or large, if even getting a small is harder then winning IRL lottery?
