    How about just petitioning for server upgrades and more wards for people instead of potentially taking tens of millions of gil away from people due to circumstances they might not be able to control in their life?
    If I had to go due to RL situations beyond my control and returned to my house gone (I had literally spent around 4 months saving up for it) I would be so upset.

    Would you still be upset if you returned to your house gone, but a voucher in the mail to let you rebuy the same size of house? You would lose nothing, instead other players would be able to make use of the land that you weren't using.

    Even if they added enough hardware for everyone to have a house you would still get players complaining that 90% of the wards were dead. I would much rather they maintain a smaller community of ACTIVE players in the housing areas than have every ward mostly fill up then get abandoned, forcing you to live in a ghost town.

    Kind of. I picked the ward, location, and district to be around certain groups of people (rpers). I would no be too happy if I were moved away from the people I chose to move next to. Also i would then have to wait for a plot to free up somewhere to rebuy the house, and I doubt that SE would give a direct gil refund of the entire house. Even then, I roleplay a lot, it is one of the main reasons I am on the game. If RL circumstances took me away from the game for the period of time that my house would be taken away, I would probably not resub to the game unless their refund system was extremely exceptional.

    They could just, like, make the housing system infinitely better by making it more accessible and doing away with the ridiculous "limited supply".

    But whatever; I don't really care at all because I am never ever going to be able to afford even the smallest rinky-dink little hovel.

    Auto-creating districts when the lots are either full of approach full is the best course of action. Making them limited means that eventually server plots will fill up, as is the case on Balmung and others. This is an untenable system, and must be changed when server stability allows for it.

    I understand you're on Balmung, one of the most notoriously packed places to buy a house, but automatically adding extra plots would just lead to people taking the prime plots and it'll lead to even more desolate neighborhoods.

    i.e. If somebody really wanted a mansion plot and the newest ward had a couple plots left, he could just buy them up, occupy it with empty occupants (i.e. alts, or inactive lv 6 FC etc.) then move on to the next ward and take his own house of choosing.

    I think the divisions need more houses to begin with. I like the design and how nice it looks, they're like vacation houses. But only having 30 in a ward barely lets you meet any neighbors. I wouldn't mind a little more of a human farm type suburban housing plans that we have in real life. Sure the houses don't look like much on the outside, but it's the inside that counts right? and by having more than 2 or 3 houses near our vicinity, we can have people actually come visit etc.

    I know their was an original plan for 60 days inactive would lose house but a lot of push back saying it wasn't enough time. I would say the compromise would be lose plot but refund the gil amount they actually spent. Yea it sucks you couldn't play the game for a few months because of RL but why should the people who are paying and playing suffer because of it? Needs of the many outweigh needs of the few or needs of the paying customer outweigh the needs of the might return customer.

    How do reclaimed plots go on sale again? Just suddenly switch its display to a price? I'm waiting to buy a S plot in Lavender Beds (seems to be the most desired housing zone on our server) but I can't make it a full time venture logging in every hour to check. Is there any way to check if a plot has been inactive for a while or so on? Or do we just have to judge by how long the layouts haven't updated?

    At this rate I imagine newly opened up Lavender Beds plots would get snatched up at max price...

    doing this would increase the amount of active neighbors in my hood who are actually enthusiastic about housing... i 100% support this.
