WHAT?! 625 Million for first class House?

Do we have to buy the bridge too?

Hah, you actually have to buy the plot of river first, then you can slap down one of four different styles of bridge ranging from "wooden cantilever" to "pile of dead lalafel."

Aaaaaaand there goes all the excitement I had for this patch, I'm out.

[dcdistro]

its a load of crap they should make them so people work together and use fc housing points the same ones they use for the scrolls daily at least the large and active fc's would be rewarded for work done not by how much gil they bought off the rmt's what a load of .........

[Laf]

So if you buy worst plot and later want to get better one, you don't even get your gil back/compensated?


and patch notes are full of typos/errors.

I died when I saw the prices. No one was expecting that amount of zeros.

Everyone in my FC was excited about housing and giving every small amount of gil they could to help us buy a land and then buy the house slowly (seeing it grow), because we were fully aware that it would cost a nice amount of gil, but there's no way that we can buy any plot of land anytime soon (that's it, not in 3 months, at least with the current economy). Not every FC in the game has already a lot of level 50 people, as a lot of us have many many lowbies, or relatively fresh 50s without tens of millions of gil in their pockets. Shocking, I know.

... at least it uses a Dutch Aunction system

Still, gonna hafta save my gil it seems.
Also bear in mind this is Free company housing, so i'm guessing it's multiple people's gold put into the Company chest?

Sorry but I must say a lot of people failed math including SE. 14% can not be use simply as the percentage form. Rules says we must convert that % sign to a decimal in order to use it with other similar numbers. Hence you get .14 and not .14%.

Then you can either do basic math or a more complicated step to solve. Either find what 625,000,000 is .14 and subtract or the other method.

Even with math done correctly SE failed display correct percentage for half. SE simply rounded up of 3.6m which that 400k makes a world of a difference in the current game economy.

This is precisely why I wanted basic, simple housing to be baseline for everyone and for the gil sink to come from upgrading to more extravagant plots/houses or decorations. No one should be priced out of content this horrendously.

With prices like this, they're begging for a boom in RMT activity.
