More houses?

[Nyonmyan]

You're calling people crabs while trying to get a house at expense of house owners on 64 servers. And you don't want to transfer because it's not "super easy all the time". Are you sure we are the issue and not you?

Can't wait for the answer to this one.. How exactly is adding more housing to meet the demand at the expense of other house owners? Is having a house something that makes you feel special? Because the only change for people with houses currently is... well, nothing at all.

1. Land expansion and housing improvements are handled by the same team and won't be done at the same time.
2. Land expansion and housing improvements both require server load resource, which is limited.

Fair enough, I'll give you the team getting tied up, but I can't begin to comprehend the server load problem. WoW added garrisons which are unique to each character on your account, so if you have 8 characters, you have 8 customized garrisons. Star Wars TOR added housing and allows each character on your account multiple customizable houses. And Star Wars went free to play a bit ago, so I simply cannot believe in any way, shape or form that with a very popular subscription based game that Square can't afford to upgrade their hardware.

As for the team, square should be measuring making a couple hundred homeowners per server happy vs. thousands of ticked off FC's and individuals who won't get a damn thing from those housing upgrades because they can't actually buy a house anyway. Sorry if it does push back some fixes or upgrades, the great majority of us who can't have a house really don't feel that bad if the few with them have to wait a couple months extra for some of the changes.

There isn't a me and you. The housing system is broken if some servers can't get houses ever and the development team's answer is "transfer dawg!" This isn't an answer unless transferring is as easy as switching classes, because people accumulate wealth and connections on the server of their choice. Even if they want to transfer, there are a ton of restrictions and a lot of things you lose. I can accept that housing is simply in a state I have to just deal with(especially cause that means all the money I saved means I'm pretty rich as far as everything else is concerned!), but the system is currently busted for some servers and it's going to continue to break for more and more servers. A set number of housing districts is an untenable solution to a growing game.

Oh man, guild airships? I can't wait for my buddies and I t-

In addition to regular flying mounts and single-rider airships, free companies, the Final Fantasy 14 version of guilds, will be able to build larger company-wide airships. This will be made possible via a new system called "free company crafting," and it will start with building a workshop in your free company's house.

Oh.

Please Square Enix, we NEED more houses before 3.0, can't wait that longer.

Sure you added Subdivisions, twice the plots (still beats me why you didn't just add more wards, instead of awkward subdivisions in the Aetherytes, but whatever...), but just as you added twice the plots, you opened these plots to personal housing, effectively killing most of the plots for new FCs, now entire FCs are stuck with horrid small plots only, while singular rich players have entire mansions for themselves. I don't even. We need at least 10 more Wards for it to last a while, at the very least.

Maybe?

No new housing options will make it into Coerthas, but there are plans to continue expanding the existing districts and make them more vibrant and accessible.

Thought I'd share this post from a thread in GD, since it might interest some people here.

I'm not sure where to post this but i'd like to know how a FC gets to own 6 houses. on famfrit i have worked very hard on getting the money for a house there was a lot of empty plots 2 weeks ago especially in Goblet now all are gone over night. Famfrit Goblet ward 1 a FC bought 6 plots 5 of the houses are listed in company as subs of the main fc with each sub being closed with just 2 members the main fc has 120 members so its certainly not issue of lack of rooms in main house since others are closed fc. so my question is this allowed? being so little housing i wouldn't think so

Did they expect this to happen? Probably not. Is it allowed? As of how the system currently works, it can, yes. I'm personally not surprised some FCs "hoard" housing that way (They send members into "alt" FCs to rank them up to 6 and get a house). It gives them more garden spaces for themselves (I suppose), and whatnot. Honestly, I don't think that's worth it for how much of a group of asshat it makes you look, but people do it because they can. :/
