    Last time I check our first ward was not full. Could have changed, but I'm still shocked that the devs thought making housing items would effect the market at all.

    Mist is too mainstream, The Goblet is the real hangout of champions.

    The way FC housing is implemented actually makes me doubtful about personal housing.

    Originally I was thinking maybe they'd be putting down plots everywhere, like even in the regular zones. But it seems clear they will be instancing the whole housing zones. I suppose that's the cheapest way to make sure everyone gets a chance at a plot.

    I would have loved getting a house if every plot was unique, and we can actually live in the world of Eorzea instead of in instanced housing zones.

    I suppose that kind of design works better with games like EQN where the world will change and morph according to what the players are doing.

    Instanced neighborhood was the plan since the first announcement.
    You are disapointed because you didn't informed yourself

    An actual post about housing now~

    I havent checked Excalibur's wards in weeks so idk how our server looks D:

    Personally I'm saving for personal housing, and even though I doubt I'll be able to afford it after how they view the community and their buying power, at least I can say I tried.

    The problem is, I see this as a very real possibility. I have increased my gil 10 fold barely even trying since 2.1 and were I to keep going till 2.3 (lets say thats when they get added since they said possibly 6 months after FC housing and 3 month patch cycles) I still doubt I'd have enough because of SE logic

    It has actually disheartened me recently. When maps got released, I leveled fisher from 1-50 in 2 days to fish up maps for gil. I now fish my map every day without fail. I do dailies every day, and now that I have both ranks capped I do T3 quests for both tribes to maximize my gil from them. I do all 4 DRs every day, only as the required job (and lowbie as a 50 required job for the gil bonus), selling all philos items when my tomes build up, etc Within the last 2 weeks I've actually stopped a lot of that, the only thing I'd 100% do was my map. I went from around 200k @pre2.1 -> 2.2m about 2 weeks ago and I just figure that it is a very real and (in my opinion) highly likely possibility that even if I continue at this pace, I can't get anything.

    This is how i have felt in the past weeks, I've actually taken a break from farming and just plain trying to make gil, i do farm my map and do maps with my fc mates every few days...that hasn't changed, but doing daily roulette and farming mats has completely stopped for me, doing them for the past months since housing was announced just wore me out mentally, maybe after a short break will restore my energies to get back into the grind, but for now i will just be logging in to enjoy chatting with FC peeps and hanging out in gridania looking at the trees.

    So do I.

    I'm convinced only 5% (or some outrageous number) of the population will be able to afford a personal house. SE goes on about prices being high because they don't want the same people to buy up all the lots, but I think the very simple fix to that is to limit one per account.

    Yeah I can't believe that wasn't in the patch notes. "We don't want an FC buying all the houses"

    Why the hell would an FC have even more than 1 house anyways >_>

    House deeds or however they're handled should be rare/ex and can only have one. Or just have it register "this person has a house, gtfo trying to buy another! (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ彡┻━┻"

    The fact that there is even the option to buy more than 1 FC house is absolutely insane on SE's part.
