Why not just add instanced housing?

[Raxxon]

I have to agree. I know it's been stated before but there are things that drive me crazy when I hear "we cant its too much memory" such as housing and whatnot. In FFXI -everyone- every main character, every alt has a two floor mog house, for free. this mog house also gives you more inventory. You can decorate your two floor house as you see fit with event items and craft-able just the same but -everyone- has one and it was free. You can mail rare/unique gear to your alts for them touse things you can no longer when your finished(not to mention sell the non rare/unique to people when your done to make back some money). We can mail our alts things in a game hit by PS2 and XBox360 restrictions vs our ps3. Im not saying FFXIV should be FFXI-2 but those things worked just fine and continue to do so, why is it so bad for these things? I would much rather give up my personal house for a instanced one without a yard if everyone could have the option to have one too. This game is heavily borrowed things from other games including FFXI, I wish they had kept those original ideas too as they worked for everyone, rather then who was fast enough to log on with deep pockets.

**Oh not to mention I log on FFXI every once and a while and it's nice to go back after a year and still have my cute cozy little house with all its seasonal events and unique furnishings not destroyed or just gone because I wasn't playing.

**On a third note im getting hit with "Unable to move, the server is congested" when entering my fc/personal a lot lately. There was never a time I couldn't enter my mog house in FFXI. Not only that but imagine that server load when all the inactive houses are gone to active players and were all trying to enter out houses. It's not gonna be pretty.

The second floor of the mog house, being able to visit someone's MH and adding new features to the game (like the mog garden) has only happened now that the population has dwindled and it's not stressing the servers too much to implement. The amount of players is different as well. You can't compare the two.
