Housing afk

[Nomad-phx]

So how many of you think it will actually free up the "desired" amount of plots and (considering its being implemented with a content patch) how many are prepared to be waiting until jan-feb when plots will actually start going back on the market cause I highly doubt as many people will not log in at least a few times for 3.1 as most would like?

I'm predicting the housing wards are going to become a new, unofficial PVP area as the plots start to opening up.

[LaylaTsarra]

I think lots of plots will become available. Housing areas are pretty deserted most of the time.

Ours isn't. We have lots of people in ours.

There will be a rush of plots available during the initial clear out once the timers expire, removing what are essentially existing abandoned housing. Those waiting for a house should start their timers now.

After that, it will be the same situation. Not enough housing for those that want it and the majority of players cut off from a large amount of content.

PS. I have a house, which I got by making a solo FC before personal housing was introduced. I feel for the rest of the player base that are not as lucky.

We can say deserted but just cus you don't see people wandering around the area doesn't mean the houses are not in use. Probably safe to say that if they do go to the house they instantly go inside, tend garden if need be and gone again, not much reason to hang around a house unless your taking advantage of the bonus crafting items but even then, that is inside.

We have lots and lots of truly abandoned housing on our server. It's not about people not being around, it becomes obvious when for over a year they had dead plants in their garden, a dirty stable, still have the decorations from an ancient seasonal event up, NOTHING ever changes either outside nor inside the house, and if you check out the player who is holding the rights to it on lodestone, their last achievement update has been from over a year ago too (yes, I'm that kind of stalker).

[AeraLure]

They still allow more than one house per account, so I assume there will be a little rush and changeover of plots at the first expiration date due to those who have permanently left the game, but after that we will be right back where we started with an occasional new plot showing up once in a Blue Moon.

[ExKage]

There's at least one plot I know of. A previous FC's plot where the leader kicked everybody out after his wife (who paid for his sub) found out he was fooling around and he hasn't been around since Hunts allowed for Carbontwine and such. Most of his gear is unaugmented magitek.

[Whocareswhatmynameis]

My guess is at least half the plots become available on day 1. So many people have quit the game it's not funny. I think once they fill back up they should add new wards. If everyone in a house is paying a sub, They should be able to store the extra info.
