Latest comment from Yoshida regarding Housing + Inventory space issue

[Alukah]

This is crazy, because Lamia has 100k+ people on it, according to xivsoul.com. Meanwhile, my server excalibur, has just 62k people on it and I can count the number of available plots on 1 hand, all of them being medium or large.

Maybe your server is really crowded and also really poor.

Don't use xivsoul as reference, the info there is highly inaccurate.

The most accurate info we have atm is that they divide server active population in three groups.

Group A:
Aegis / Bahamut / Balmung / Behemoth / Cactuar / Carbuncle / Chocobo / Diabolos / Durandal / Excalibur / Fenrir / Garuda / Gilgamesh / Gungnir / Hyperion / Ifrit / Leviathan / Mandragora / Masamune / Midgardsormr / Odin / Ragnarok / Ramuh / Ridill / Sargatanas / Shiva / Siren / Tiamat / Titan / Tonberry / Ultros

Group B:
Adamantoise / Alexander / Anima / Atomos / Cerberus / Coeurl / Exodus / Faerie / Goblin / Hades / Ixion / Kujata / Lamia / Malboro / Moogle / Pandaemonium / Phoenix / Typhon / Ultima / Valefor

Group C:
Asura / Belias / Brynhildr / Famfrit / Jenova / Lich / Mateus / Shinryu / Unicorn / Yojimbo / Zalera / Zeromus / Zodiark

Still within these 3 groups there's a spectrum, there's one most populated server and one least populated server which will differ a lot in housing experience.

The housing issue should affect most if not all of the group A and probably the higher spectrum of B, the least affected should be the rest of group B and group C as a whole.

So what's the obvious issue here?

They have exactly the same server resources even for the least populated server of group C.

So what's the obvious solution here?

Change server resource distribution, bigger servers have higher needs than dead servers.

I agree, that along with many other things that I and others have mentioned, are issues. I wish they had held out a little longer on the personal housing, and done it justice. I'd rather it be late and in a better position than this, but from what I have seen SE feels there is nothing wrong with the way it has been implemented. At leats that is how I feel, seeing that I have not see many remarks on the many issues people have brought up, including but not limited to:

• gil
• technical limitations one year into the game
• FC and Personal housing being intermixed and fought over from both sides
• people being able to buy multiple houses and then sell them for profit when the market is sold out
• etc...

I, too, wish they had waited. the little things, such as: housing, chocobo raising, gardening and such are my favorite parts of these online games. Leveling is fun too, if done in moderation. I just enjoy chatting with my raider friends and doing my own stuff.
