Please Make Private Room Purchase a One-Time Fee

[Parz3val]

Bought my Private Room, left the FC, went to a new FC & found out I had to dish out the 300k all over again.

Kinda unnecessary.

Why? That doesn't make any sense. If you leave a plot, you have to purchase a new one. No refunds. If you leave your FC and also your private room, what sense would it make for it to magically transfer your payment there? It would promote FC hopping, that's pretty stupid.

^not everything in a game or MMO is about making sense. An Onion wouldn't be worth 500k if it were. If everything made sense, the game wouldn't charge me 300k for a room at all.

In many games, you unlock features one time that carry with you.

And people will change FCs regardless of this change. You can't be serious.

Why not? See it as the cost of actually building the add-on to your house :3 Since the room didn't even exist prior to you buying it.

In this case it literally makes no sense. If I buy a room in one person's FC house, how in all things holy would it make sense I immediately have access to another FC's private residence without paying?

The fleeting nature of FCs is the reason why I will never drop so much gil on a personal room.
I rather rent a room at the inn.

Except everyone shares that same add-on through some magical Narnia portal.

The magic could explain how our Personal Room transfers into our new FC Estate.

Unless that door just leads to the corridor from which your room is accessed =D They just don't show that corridor because it's easier on system resources to timeskip past the potentially endless corridor :3
And to prevent people from saying it's not visible from the outside, that door might just as well lead to an underground access tunnel and.... well, excavating a new room and fitting in those automatic lights on the wall that pretend to be windows.... surely that would be a lot more expensive than just 300k gil :3

When private rooms for FCs were created they did say explicitly what would happen if you leave your FC. None of the money is refunded, I believe it was created so that you would not FC-hop(what millions of people did to get the best loot and statics in WoW).

[Ditto]

Do people really think that dangling a 300k private room over someones head will prevent them from FC hopping?

People who FC hop, probably wouldn't want a private room to begin with. At least not for 300k.
