The way housing should be

[Hayden]

Now I'm confused. Weren't prices the reason people were complaining in the first place? Because they're not really affordable unless you're rich or with a big FC?

Prices are steep...but if price was the ONLY problem Seoulstar, everyone could still work towards getting one. The lack of availability is the bigger issue...as it doesn't matter how hard you work...you're not getting one because they are JUST not there. If they were cheaper, they'd just sell out faster.

the problem REALLY is the limited plots.

Both actually. Literally all they needed to do was add a Mog House an most people would be happy. Some might say well you have FC rooms for this. They have a LOT of restrictions and in my eyes isn't worth it.

Ty for actually clarifying that. Quite difficult to keep up with what's going on as of lately.

It is for lower gil revenue players. A Personal Apartment is a apartment after all which is more for indoor things and not known for out door stuff. However, a balcony can also be added for the Apartment building for out door stuff but since it is a apartment build the balcony will not be big as the Housing yards.

A Private Island can also be added in the game but the price will need to balance out considering that it is a Private Island for the player that owns the island only.

Why do we even need to apply real-world style cost differences here?
It could very easily be that one of the numerous NPCs I save gives me a piece of land out of gratitude (or whatever) if you need a lore-based way to justify it in-game.

Things shouldn't be designed around the current costs; the system as it currently exists never should have existed, and shouldn't be taken into account when implementing or pricing things as they should be, IMO.

I'm not upset about prices, it is nice to gain something with some effort. My problem is 500 fc members sharing the garden. I thought personal housing was going to fix the garden problem.

Nope ppl are still going to horde the FC gardens because of the lack of homes and/or gil to get one.
