Will more housing instances open up anytime soon?

[HEC]

What you should "look" into first of all is the prices - it's 4 months since FC housing release and the prives are still RIDICULOUS! Where are all the promisses about "re-evaluating" the housing prices? You could have increased the housing server capacities tenfold by now! And to make this all even MORE insutling you're now rewarding everyone with "useless" housing and garding items via ventures which most of us will be unable to use for years or even sell for any profit at all - this is just so "in-your-face" attitude Many of us have now tens of roofs, walls and furniting items which are just cluttering our inventories and retianers and can't sell those to anyne but NPCs thus wasting venture coins on those in a first place.

This "improvement" only shows that you've NOT TOUCHED (expanded) those darn FC housing servers at all and now you're looking for the back ways to again decrease the amount of currently purchased plots as well as detere even more people from buying the new plots. STOP hiding behind silly excuses and expand the servers, increase the amount of wards and decrease the prices. This is nothing but joke.

I agree that losing the house and land, everyone worked for, in just 35 days is a joke.
It should be impossible to lose the house and land as long as your FC exists.

But because that won't happen, I'd like if it would work like this:
If a house isn't used for ~70+ days while the FC still exists, then the house and land will be made available to buy.
Should someone buy it, they would have to pay the money for the plot of land and the house and get a voucher to remodel the house.
All furniture and other stuff except the house would be lost after the purchase.
The money the buyer paid should then be transferred to the FC chest of the previous owner, minus 5-10% for the "broker".

The currently planned system would just mean that even less people buy land and build a house, because they could lose everything if they took a break.

Agree that this sounds awful.
My Free Company is just me and my Girlfriend, We've spent a long time time working up the money for housing and levelling the FC with just two of us.
We occasionally take long holidays or hold of on subscription for two months while busy, that means we lose everything?
Would be sorely disappointed if so?
I'm already slightly fearful you'll disband our FC if we're not around for a bit?
Does anyone know if FC's are disbanded if no-one logs in for a certain time limit?

[Sadana]

Wow. I guess they really don't approve of 1 and 2 person FCs. The housing servers must be more of an issue than they originally thought what with this and how logging out from within the house gets you booted to the exterior.

On my server, the small housing prices dropped drastically enough that all small houses are gone. Nearly all mediums are gone. It blows my mind that an entire FC could've been so active as to buy a plot of land and house and then just quit.

I guess...get a game friend to make an alt to join your FC? They can log in occasionally until the FC members get back from whatever they are doing.

The point of FCs was to have a bunch of people working together on things like housing. FC houses are like clubhouses; I don't think SE intended for them to become personal housing though many people are using them that way.

I could see this being a problem for a tiny FC that is composed of just military. 35 days is nothing for deployment. :/

This is not a smart move.. this will cause MANY issues.. Bigger FC's will probably not care, but the small ones, the 10 people one's that will matter.. Those are people who just come on to raid usually, and if they get a little bored with the content, and take some time off they lose their house??

The FC's worked very hard to get the gil put together to afford their house. Now I will agree, on something like 60 days or even better 90 days.. basically one full patch, then let them lose it.. but now.. not for 30 days

Make a post here. I know some of you have already. But this thread isn't going to get enough attention, So I made one because I don't agree with the 35 days. And We don't know if this will happen to Personal Housing, but I'm willing to bet that it will be affected also. So drop on in leave a comment positive or negative, But remember that this is only going to effect a very small minority of FCs.

I also do not agree with 1 or 2 person FCs. If you want to utilize the benefits of being in a FC then join an existing one. Do not start a 1 or 2 person FC. Ridiculous!

The only requirement to starting a FC is 3 people and 15k. If SE didn't want 1, 2, or 3 man FCs then they should have made the requirement 30 players.


Also some of us Small FC owner don't invite anyone and everyone just so we can take their Gil to buy a house. Like so many FCs do.

While I do not agree with SE's plan on removing your FC house after just 35 days, I also do not agree with 1 or 2 person FCs. If you want to utilize the benefits of being in a FC then join an existing one. Do not start a 1 or 2 person FC. Ridiculous!

Why shouldn't people? Because you say so?

I do so enjoy SE logic, pay a fortune to OWN a house, loose it after a short period for fun...

Why shoudn't I be allowed to be in an FC with only one other person?
No one said that you can't.
Why do I have to join another FC with people I don't even know or at worst don't even care about at all when I also can be in an FC with one other person I really know?
I can still play with others without beign in a "foreign" FC.

I think it will be a little bit naive to say "if you want to utilize the benefits of being in a FC then join an existing one".
We like contribute but not taking free lunch, howerver, why contribute to something not reliable.

Strictly a FC house is solely owned by its FC master in the game system. Purchase/dispose a land even doesn't need any one member to agree.
Members have or have not constributed to the FC can think it is their FC and their house, but the master can replace all members anytime for any reasons. That's why some players won't join existing one when they have the ability to make their own FC and house, it is not ridiculous.
