The way housing should be

[WhiteGarden]

• Prices ranging from 800k to 10million
• Separate personal housing areas from Free Companies
• Personalized options for house styles and landscaping
• Varied locations including Costa Del Sol and Little Solace
• Armoire, Crystal Bell, etc. access
• Retainers appear as NPCs when not venturing
• Expandable options including more rooms and stories

Personal housing should be truly personal. Right now it is not personal since there is nothing to differentiate it from FC Housing. What we have currently is not what was promised nor is it what anyone was expecting. Please implement real Personal housing.

I really love all of these ideas. It makes me really sad that this isn't what we got.

According to SE the only way something like that would work (Server constraints) is if it's instanced on demand per player like the inn rooms (IE, not forever instanced like the current neighborhoods) - which for some reason SE refuses to do.

If it's instanced on demand things like having housing in a variety of places could be a reality, less limiting than the current neighborhood structure.

They should also consider Personal Apartments for players who want a Personal customizable home (Separate from their FC Housing apartments) but can't afford personal Housing nor not enough room for more player housing.

As of now one of the greatest limits for housing is the Limited amount of space for player housing. Due to this even with cheaper price that all players can obtain a Personal House there is not enough land for all players to buy their own house.

With a Personal Apartment they can obtain somthing equel to a Small House but since it is a personal Apartment it will be limited to in door Housing items.

They should also consider Personal Apartments.

I posted a thread about this yesterday.

I can't bring myself to buy personal housing even knowing how much I want it.

FFXI for 11 years, and I take 1-3 months off every year from MMOing. And well losing my house (gil) because I don't log in is a deal breaker.

I want all of the above! Please include a Starlight Celebration-y village as a location as well.

The bottom line is, I refuse to compete with 7500 other server mates for pretend land, only to hear "they are all sold out". It's PRETEND LAND, if it sells out you make more! You don't tell us "its sold out". that's just wrong...don't have us waiting years for something and then pull this half assed "we ran out" crap. you can't run out of imaginary land!

Both options would be perfect. Have the cheap MOG house all instanced for the masses as well as current housing for those who want and are willing to pay for more.

I don't mind the wards existing as they are as an option. It would be nice if they added a single house with a yard within a small instanced zone for those whom want something more secluded, accessible, and customizable.There's a walkway to nowhere in each of the wards, could use that as the jumping off point for this. They should also add the ability to rent a permanent room from the inn keeps in each town to just have an instanced room without having to be part of an FC. Said room should have a small balcony for a few small pieces of outdoor furnishings and a small garden plot at a price any player could afford. I think these options together would please most people give or take details.
Also, allow co-ownership for all properties.
That would be my dream come true.
