Housing, what do you think?

[Aushi]

Personally I would HATE a fee. I own a small house and after buying it I am absolutely broke, 100% no gil for a while, couldn't even afford teleporting. I'm not a crafter, I'm not a spirit bonder, etc, I have no way of affording any type of fee, at all. Only way I could even afford a house was literally months of saving, with my boyfriend, it's an FC house, but our FC only has two members (with two inactive members). Keeping every single gil we had, from dungeons, quests, selling stuff from retainers, etc. It's been a couple of months since then and I only have 300k to my name.

I think the maintenance fee will just cut out a chunk of the population that don't take the game as a job and aren't investing time to make gil, like me. I just wanna play and have a cute place to chill while waiting for queue. I don't want to lvl a crafter yet, I don't plan on grinding dungeons for spirit bonding etc. The houses will be restricted to those who do have an income in game, I'd lose my house asap, don't think that's honestly fair.

No, never, A rental fee would turn the game into a job, as someone who works IRL that would completely void any reason for me to buy a house.
People already have their time full with raiding, dailys, hunts, relic and do you reason think people will want to waste their time saving cash up for a rental fee?

Squares getting subscription fee cash, there is no excuse not to add more servers for more housing.
As they would add more servers for more players if it meant more money for them.
