Personal Housing Questions

[RavinousKurohi]

Good news everyone! Now a vast majority of us no longer have to wake up earlier than normal in the morning~

Yep. I was going to pull an all-nighter to be up with the servers but I'm going to sleep in. So long dream of my beach house...

god forbid the players be happy right, Square. Lord know your game would emplode on itself if you actually did anything that would make anything simple or anyone happy. What the difference between this and ppl setting up FC with one person... it has been and is done.. I couldve had this "personal" housing last month.

[Khyzen]

What the actual hell... screw "optimization" and "server load." We've all seen the reports; FFXIV is what has been consistently earning Square-Enix a profit since its release. Buy more servers and get the space!

It's individual housing. INDIVIDUAL HOUSING. It should be for everyone, every single player! You all made housing such a major part of the game, and for Free Companies, the way it was implemented was fine. But the purpose of personal housing shouldn't be a gil dump. It shouldn't be to show who the richest players on the servers are, or be a race about who can log in the fastest. Personal housing was supposed to allow every player to enjoy the housing content.

And no, doubling the housing wards in 2.4 isn't going to solve that.

How many players are there per server? Because I guarantee it won't be enough, especially now that the Free Companies who have been waiting for their new wards have to actually compete with every single individually rich player in the game.

I have been defending the game, the dev team, everything because of how much I enjoy this game. But this is such a huge step backward. It's lazy, it's poorly thought-out, and it wasn't implemented with the player-base in mind. Is it really that hard to create one singular instance that players can go into and have their own home, and invite their friends into?

No, instead of creating a new instance, instead of creating areas designed specifically for personal housing, all we get are two new wards and the ability to individually purchase land AT THE SAME PRICE AS FREE COMPANIES. The same prices that has taken whole FCs months to save for? Really?

For once, just once, could the dev team please just give us content that isn't designed for the top-tier players, that eventually trickles down to the casual players 3-6 months later?

Honestly, this is just sad and disappointing. For the money we all pay you guys each month, I was expecting a lot more.

I am almost certain I am not going to get the plot I want, even if I run to log in. Cannot believe I've waited so long for this, if Ninja wasn't around the corner I'd probably stop playing.

Last time they added new Wards on Excalibur, they didn't take long to fill up, and that was for Free Companies. Now anyone can fill up these two Wards. Pathetic, they could have at least blocked people with a Free Company House from purchasing right away, considering, you know, they have a House and Private Room. But no, "Leaders and members of free companies that already own estates can also choose to purchase plots as individuals.", make it so every single person on the server can fill up these Wards as soon as possible. Bravo SE.

Oh good, reached my daily post count. Time to piss off and probably not come back until SE hires someone with a degree of common sense about them. If they'd just blocked Free Company members who already have an estate from purchasing, until 2.4 when they plan more Wards (probably another two, not getting my hopes up again), I would be 90% less pissed off about this.

$18 and you can only transfer 1 million gil the rest will be lost (also 100 thousand for each retainer). It is pretty annoying, I agree XD

Time to start buying out Clear Demimateria and Allagan Pieces from idiots on the Market Board so I can move with all my Gil then. Go figure their server transfer system is as idiotic as everything else.

One big thing people seem to have missed is that they're adding a large number of wards in 2.4. This isn't the end if you can't afford what you want today. I'll admit it's going to be a long night for me since I absolutely want a specific house and have been planning this for months now.

Best of luck to everyone!

Time to start saving up 20mil+ by 2.4 for a fighting chance, everyone.

I'm short 85mil on my server for the one I want. Q.Q

[Psychosamm]

I'm just jaw dropped that they
1) put FC housing and personal housing in the same area, instead of making a whole new area/scenery to go with personal housing.

2) that they made personal housing the SAME price as FC housing. How does it even make sense to have a single person buy something at the same price as what a group of people are supposed to buy?

3) That they only added 2 new wards, i'm on a medium populated server, i feel terrible for people on the more populated servers, not only will there be a mad dash, only the super rich will be able to buy personal housing, and free companies that have been waiting to get a house now have to compete with these people for a precious plot. People that anticipated the pricing to be lower (since yoshi initially hinted around 800k) will be left in the dust, wanting a house, but by the time they have enough saved, all the plots will be gone.

Personal housing is supposed to be something fun that most people will be able to do... Why they even thought this was ok is beyond me... They're really cutting corners, and they're going to loose valued customers because they're too cheap to upgrade their servers. I'll be fortunate enough to be able to buy a small house right off the bat, but i seriously feel for those who's hopes are going to be crushed. Even I didn't think they would stoop so low as to have personal housing be the same price as FC housing.

guess this means personal housing can have it's own private airship huh? nothing is fc exclusive!
