Housing Ideas and Feature Requests

[Sheva]

To tell truth at some point they will probably need to start replacing the current wards with one that contain no small plots and just have med and large as more and more FC start to upgrade. Or at least that's what I see happening since they did not just instance each FC house plot.

Great! Thank you!!

Now just if you guys would expedite the chocobo-during-queue change in time for 2.2...

Yoshi-P answered this previously, where-in they will monitor the stress that the current wards cause and whether or not additional wards will be possible and also the time-frame to implement them.
But for now, no-more wards. (Completely possible to expand them, but server stress is a concern)

In the current wards for Lavender Beds, there's bridges off to the east side of the map that lead to shut doors. I'd like to believe that before they implement more wards, they'll expand the current wards and add an equal amount of space to the other side of those bridges. And do something similar for The Goblet and Mist. I don't know about Mist, but I know in The Goblet as well there's a tunnel that you can't get through because of fallen rocks in the path.

excuse me, when will there be more wards for housing?

I'm fairly certain that's to be a separate area for personal housing. Given that the current wards for just a few FC's cause enough server stress to be a concern I think it's safe to say the personal housing will actually be entirely instanced. I'm pretty sure those gates will be used to access personal housing similarly to how it worked in FFXI.

Those were my thoughts as well. I also think that those paths/bridges and gates will lead to the future personal house or housing zone.

It's funny that no one bought the house when first release..and many FC don't care about it.
But when housing wards are are full, people start complaining why there are too few wards lol.

It's a auction game, first-in first-serve. But to tell the truth, after got a house and play with it for 2-3 weeks.
I'm totally lost interest in it and super lazy to go back to my house. Because it don't have anything to do.
Let's hope 2.2 will bring more things to do for housing area.

There will be more things to do in the housing areas later on. Like the build your own airship bit as to why smalls are getting a basement. There is also the chocobo thing that got mentioned. The FC retainer/lemonade stand. Um, I think there will also be a garden? Can't remember at the moment.

Pretty much. I don't see any way that they'll line up that many houses for individual players. Especially when you can have multiple toons on the same server.
