Thread: Really, SE? [on housing]

A26: We had been prioritizing the addition of land and since we do not know exactly how much of a demand there is we have not been able to do anything with this. This is not to say that we will stop adding land in the future; however, I feel we’ve filled the demand with the expansion areas, so I’m thinking it’s about time to enhance the utilities for each house. The team in charge of this, however, is currently working on the Gold Saucer and Free Company crafting, so implementation would take place after this.

...really? You do not know how much of a demand there is for additional land?? The situation of which you said you have been monitoring??? REALLY????

And Yoshi feels they've filled the demand with the expansion areas.

So they do not know the demand, but he feels they filled it. Erm. Yeah. I do believe some people from some servers would like to have a chat with him...?

Silly to think that there is no demand when people are willing to pay 12 mil to buy the chance to purchase a small plot.

Smallest house available in the Lavender Beds on Balmung is Medium at about 15m. I haven't checked the other housing areas, but I imagine it's probably the same there. So, yeah, there are plots available, but they're a bit pricey if you want a house to yourself.

Just checked the other places. Cheapest plot is a Medium Goblet house for 14,880,000 gil.

Balmung and (i believe) Excalibur sold out all small lands like a day after the patch, in all housing areas.

15m = medium.

Yep, just checked myself. There are 15 Smalls available in the Goblet, 1 in Mist, and 0 in Lavender Beds.

More than I expected to be available, actually.

I have no idea why they aren't able (or willing) to simply add housing to specific servers.
