Alternative to Personal Housing... Farms!

[Mihana]

you are suggesting something pretty much affordable by most of the playerbase, and that requires LOTS of availble plots.

In my suggestion I said instanced, as in "on-demand". Something that should be low-memory consumption compared to the huge wards we currently have. For some reason or another SE seems pretty adamant about not providing housing via an instanced area. If they want to do that still then fine. Instanced land still requires server memory I'm aware which is why I also suggested limitations on what you can actually do. It's a small, little plot with a spot to garden and stable your chocobo. That's it. Those who are in a FC with a house probably already have a personal chamber to decorate to their heart's content, and those who don't care about housing may only want the added feature to grow plants for profit or for training their chocobo.

You can only raise your chocobo's level cap via stabling it and feeding it an onion. Unfortunately the housing issue restricts a lot of players from engaging in this. Even in a Free Company home you're limited on what you can grow, especially in a 100+ member group. Everyone wants to garden but only a select few can at a time. By providing an other option such as a personal farm, whatever you want to call it, it opens this up to many more players who otherwise cannot due to be it funds or lack of land.
