Can we start a list of all servers where small housing is already sold out?

[Zathir]

Reports from Reddit are coming in that small houses on the following servers are either entirely sold out or on the brink of being sold out already:

Balmung
Masamune
Excalibur
Gilgamesh
Behemoth
Ragnarok
Sargatanas (All but Ul'Dah sold)
Tonberry
Aegis (All size plots selling out)
Hyperion

These are only reports from players on Reddit and the true numbers may be much higher.

What is blatantly obvious is that double the plots in 2.4 is an absolute joke and not even close to the necessary amount.

Ten times as many plots would be reasonable with the current system of FCs and players sharing wards, especially with people using their alts to buy up multiple houses.

Either that or implement a housing zone separate from Free Companies which is built to sustain the hundreds of thousands of people who play this game.

As it stands the vast majority of the player base is being denied access to a feature that has been teased and talked about for literally months.

But housing os too expensive and no non-gil buyer can afford one? How can small housing be already sold out? /s

All the homeless fc's ate all of it damn quick.

This in no way detracts from the argument they set the price point too high. The rapid selling out of houses is most likely related to how incredibly scarce they are and will be even in 2.4. Free Companies now need to race to get a house or not have anything for their entire guild, meanwhile there are hundreds of thousands of players competing over a handful of plots.

By setting the initial price at 4 million gil, they have excluded anyone without that much expendable income from buying a house before they inevitably sell out.

The fact that some people have more than 4 million gil does not justify the exclusion of a significant chunk of the population that can't just throw that much money away on a house. The fact the prices are going to come down is irrelevant if there is such scarcity in housing supply that they're selling out instantly.

It is purchased by the small minority of people with large amounts of money. I see you going into every thread defending this feature, but I'm guessing you already have a house and a lot of gil. Simply put, personal housing implemented this way was bad.

Pretty much this.
The amount of people with 4.5+ mill gil (When taking into account the absolute minimum for land [accounting for the fact that none of it had the chance to devalue] plus the permit plus any other expenses you may incur) most definitely outnumbers the amount of small plots there are on the servers, but does not in any way out number the amount of people on the server.

Ragnarok: I logged in 40min after the Patch was up and all small houses were sold out ... (okay, just checked Limsa and Gridania, but i think the most people want a house in one of those areas...)

Of course it does. If it was too expensive, then they wouldn't be sold out.

5 million gil for a plot of land is cheap and very easy to get, especially considering the amount of time. Never said anything about the price coming down, and I honestly don't think it should.

The lack of wards, sure. The price is fine.

its not about the cost. It is about the demand compared to what was supplied. in 20 minutes, every single small house on Balmung was sold out, most of those to individuals.
