Housing Prices Adjustments (Dec. 26)

[Parodine]

As mentioned previously on the official forums ( http://sqex.to/-e5 ), the pricing of land for legacy Worlds will be adjusted in incremental steps to match the pricing of the following non-legacy Worlds (Hereafter referred to as Group A):

Bahamut／Behemoth／Cactuar／Carbuncle／Chocobo／Diabolos／Fenrir／Garuda／Gilgamesh／Ifrit／Leviathan／Mandragora／Midgardsormr／Odin／Ramuh／Shiva／Siren／Tiamat／Titan／Tonberry／Ultros

Pricing for the following legacy Worlds is currently set at 2.5 times the amount of those in Group A (Hereafter referred to as Group B):
Balmung／Excalibur／Hyperion／Ragnarok／Sargatanas

The final price of land for Group B will first be reduced from 2.5 to 2.25 times the amount of Group A. Over the course of the next week, the price will be reduced from 2.25 to 2 times the amount of Group A. Over the course of six weeks, the final price of land for Group B will continue to drop until it has reached the same value as Group A.
* Adjustments to pricing will apply to all plot sizes.

Pricing for the following legacy Worlds is currently set at 5 times the amount of those in Group A (Hereafter referred to as Group C):
Aegis／Durandal／Gungnir／Masamune／Ridill
The final price of land for Group C will first be reduced from 5.0 to 4.5 times the amount of Group A. Over the course of the next week, the price will be reduced from 4.5 to 4 times the amount of Group A. Over the course of eight weeks, the final price of land for Group C will continue to drop until it has reached the same value as Group A.

Furthermore, the final price of land across all Worlds will be re-evaluated at some point in the latter half of January. Please be advised that the pricing of land on all Worlds will be subject to change even after the above adjustments have been made.

Huzzah, cheaper land! Or at least a step in the right direction. Hopefully they keep reevaluating the prices, but a bit of cheerier news for it.

Yea, this is still wildly unfair for a Non content impacting addition in a MMO. Pricing continues to be off the chart ridiculous. IF this is the best they can do then they can just have empty housing developments and pissed off players.

Cool, only six to eight weeks to be treated the same as other players. Thanks SE!

Are we going to match their starting or end prices?

Typical. SE responds to the community and people are still not satisfied.

Simply responding does not require satisfaction. Square could have simply told the player base to eat them, they'll do what they want. That would be a response that I doubt would satisfy anyone... wait, they already did that.

hmmm...could it be because SE's whole thought process on the housing system is broken right down to the foundation? (pun)

That tends to happen when the response is just as insulting.

Get real SE and get your crap together. Housing implementation and plan is embarrassing.

How do you expect people to take it when the company completely insults their own players intelligence?

Typical. SE responds to the community with an unsatisfactory response.

Still seems a bit too high considering there's no resale/upgrade.
