    If you can't afford the houses now they will be sold out

    "YoshiP is saying it was set this way so players don’t buy out all the lands right away and end up in situation where none is available."

    From the live chat. Houses are finite. No instances will open up when they sell out there simply won't be any. This is the reason for them being so ridiculously overpriced. Remember when he claimed new instances will open up? Guess what? Not true.

    I read it more as there being a limited number of instances. There probably will be new instances created, but a finite amount of these so that while there will ultimately still be a definite limit, there's a lot more than the one area to choose from.

    Indeed. Plus there was an additional note in the patches that, after 2.2, Unused houses will be reclaimed from inactive FC's. So it makes sense.

    Don't mind this guy. He's been shedding his tears on just about every thread he can.

    Hahahahahahahaha!

    So basically, by that strategy, they could have solved the launch server crashes and overloading by charging a $1299 subscription fee.

    These cats at SE, really have to admire their sense of humor.

    BTW, if after a massively successful launch, if they are not pumping that money into enough server capacity to handle the content in their own game, and arbitrarily limiting access to content as a result, that is absolutely unacceptable.

    Yes, but why? why should there be anything in the game that is not attainable by everyone? Apart from the fact they have priced the FC housing out of reach of all but the larger FC's In the unlikely event we all scrape up the gil we may be just s**t out of luck due to availability. I don't see how things will get any better 3 months down the line so this is one aspect of FFXIV I am not going to participate in...I'm gonna save all my gil until I have enough to buy a mouldy patch of swampland where I can build my personal house.

    It begs the question, if they cannot implement enough server capacity for FC housing (which even cost aside was likely to be a less popular feature because some people just dont like to share things), how can we reasonably assume it will be any better for individual housing?

    The fact that housing has MANUALLY added INSTANCED housing should be an indication.

    I played Asheron's call in 2000 which had an abundance of open world housing.
