On Balmung, it is impossible to buy a house.

Not because of the price, there is no land available at all. Regardless of whether a player has a handful of gil or millions, they will not be able to buy a house. Those players will never be able to mess with gardening or placing decorations, things that have seen a lot of investment of time into. Not because they choose not to, but because there is a hard limit on the amount of houses available and all slots are taken.

This needs to be addressed, and according to patch notes I've read it is possible to add as many districts as is needed without effecting server stability. This is desperately needed, as a good amount of players, especially new or returning players, will never be able to build a house, even if they have the funds to do so. While 1440 plots may seem like a large number, I am certain it is dwarfed by the population of the server.
