The Actual truth about the housing system.. please read..

[ArkhamNative]

It may well be the case that SE set the bar too high on Legacy servers, but I will be shocked if we get all the way to the ninety-day mark without all or most of the prime housing locations being sold, even on legacy.

That's largely because SE's "legacy price plummet" program will reduce unsold land prices on Legacy Worlds to 4M/15M/50M by then. That's 1/5th or 1/10th the starting prices.

And, whether or not you believe this was a "trick" Yoshi-P devised ...

Perhaps the two worst things that could have happened from SE's perspective was if land sold quickly (lack of server capacity to handle it) and if Legacy Worlds were in FC houses months before New Worlds could afford it (big PR problem). #1 set prices extremely high across all worlds, and #2 doubled and quintupled it on the Legacy Worlds.

Yoshi said openly that they don't have the server capacity to support every FC that wants a house, and that they won't be able to add that server capacity in the near future.

Everything else is an excuse. The "trick" is getting you to focus on issues like entitlement, price disparity across servers, and gil generation. The truth is that the feature wasn't ready, and Yoshi is banking on most people's reading comprehension being too poor to understand that.

Sad part is many people really can't read properly.

Well I don't know what you guys are doing but i've made butt loads of gil with no crafts leveled. I just gather, sell philo items, questing and dungeons. You can easily make 500k a month easy w no crafts so I have no idea what u guys are doing.

That's amazing, dear.

I have a quest for you to go to the candy store and buy something good for yourself. Here's a quarter.

@Whiz: Philo mats are down to 3k on our server. I'm glad you enjoy farming but not everyone does. The market is dead and no one is willing to spend money because they are saving for their FCs home. And questing and dungeons? You make very little out of both of those (assuming your talking about dailies).

And the relevant quote that nailed the coffin on this case.

Please understand that while we will be adding servers and expanding housing areas as soon as we can, it is simply physically impossible for us to accomplish this easily, in a matter of one or two weeks.

I don't want to discourage SE from being honest in the future about their process by calling out Yoshi-P, but it is much healthier to be up-front about what the problem is than to hide the problem from us. We probably could have figured it out anyway, given the server instability as it is.

No im sorry I don't think you really understand the situation. Even if it was a physical server issue problems, why would he purposely crash the market on all servers, and has stated numerously stated that the gil situation in the game is a defining factor with a lot of things such as world mergers and open transfer for new chars to legacy server. 1.0 users were promised that we would keep our gil with the denomination and it was a huge point to keep 1.0 players from not quitting the game. Now that 2.0 has landed he has to do something to stabilized his screw from 1.0 and not taking away all of legacy gil.

Your quote that you post are more of yoshida lies which the community seems to eat up. Server space and problems are not the problem in the game, all of these were worked out with the separation of the legacy worlds, na/eu, jp, fr and so forth. The fact that 400+ can gather at one single point in the game world along the same space on the server without crashing shows clearly it is quiet set up to handle the influx of new players. Instance events BTW was originally created in such a manner to manage single point concentration of players and player traffic. If you do not understand server structures or game architecture you are very limited in the way you think and lack a great sense in seeing the entire picture.

Don't be surprised when I get perma ban for pointing this out to the dumbs and shedding light on the backend work from the dev or Yoshi or whoevers fault it might be.
