We need private instance housing

[Reneo]

^That\\\\'s essentially what WS has. Everyone gets their own house - though I far prefer how they do it in that the initial plot is freely given to everyone (just unlock through a quest at level 14), while the gold sink is in buying housing upgrades and all the hundreds of decor possibilities, and with a 2,000 item limit on the plot, that adds up to a lot of spent plat...

Anyway, each house is instanced, and you can visit other players\\\\' homes by bringing up a UI and typing their character\\\\'s name into it. Plots can be public, private, or "neighbor only" (basically an invite status). In the next big patch, they\\\\'re also implementing communities, where up to 5 housing plots can be chosen to be combined into a single massive neighborhood plot.

Basically, SE took what could have been a really fun addition to their game and turned it into a nightmare.

This right here. Housing also need attention.

Housing needs as much attention as well.

Nope will not support. All they need to do is add in a 60-90 non-sub payment relinquish feature and give those non-paying customer plots back to the people and add in more sub-divisions. I do not want some instance where only my friends can access. I like having neighbors.

But there will never be enough houses even with a relinquish feature for everyone which means only a really small percentage of people can even have that. I have a small one but I would give it up in a second if this means that anyone get one. I mean we don´t even had enough houses for every FC before players were able to buys them so it will be never enough. Lets keep the neighbor thing with the FCs where it at least makes sense since there are more people around..My neighbors are barely even there..the only ones that I sometimes see are the ones that have their FC house there.

If you read the thread, people have suggested a small community system that combines 4-5 houses into a neighborhood.

It's absurd to restrict access to a system that has so many desired features attached to it.

If not instant housing, just add more features to the inn. Allow our friends to be able enter our room. Open the window of the Ishgard inn XD

I am not suggesting that all housing to be this way, but to simply give the option for players to access cheaper housing through this method. I believe if you want the luxury of having neighbours, then the current system is fine for your needs if you are willing to pay the premium.

I agree that the feeling of the neighborhood is really neat. I like going to my FC's house and seeing others out and about and their yards - but I really don't see people -that- often.

Important features of the game (like chocobo raising) are tied to housing and not even every FC can get a house, not because of cost, but because of the lack of plots. We really need a solution. Allow us to have private instance housing and combine into neighborhoods to keep that feeling, like other games.

Plus it would let us keep our plots private. I know you can lock off and stuff, but people still run around the yard and stuff. Call me a shut-in but I kinda don't like that lol
