Housing afk

[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.

I feel so bad for these people. Aren't they unable to leave the FC since they can't demolish their private rooms?

When the FC lead kicks everyone out, their rooms are demolished. A lot of people scrambled trying to figure out which housing person gave back most of the housing stuff that isn't auto-lost when removed. (Sadly a lot of us had those rare furnishings that get lost when removed like Extreme Primals furnishins, crafting tables etc)

That's awful. I remember there was an FC somewhere that got locked out by their leader, and they couldn't leave since they were unable to enter their house and destroy their rooms. They were basically held hostage by this guy.

I remember reading this. What ever became of that?

And I'm pretty excited about this, I'm going to start looking around at house prices to see how much I'll need. Looks like I finally have something to spend money on besides funding alts.

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.

[Serilda]

I think there will be a lot of vacant plots on my world. Most of the FC tags in the first set of wards are from groups I've never even seen, so there are bound to be a number which become available right away. But then again, my FC had little trouble grabbing our house a few months before Heavensward landed and there are still a handful of large/medium plots available even now which have finished their pricing reductions with no buyers. It's a shame that the number of people on each server is spread so unevenly.

If SE is able to keep track of players who shouted 'Yoshida', I'm sure they're able to measure the amount of players who have housing but have left the game long ago.

I'm guessing that Yoshida has an estimate of the number of plots that may become available once that 45-day hammer hits.

[Canadane]

I'm under the impression that 45-60 days after the expansion, people who aren't playing, and people who just resubbed to check the expansion and then stop until the next one will have their houses relinquished. Many people don't read patch notes, and some people simply don't care about their houses. SO be it through ignorance or apathy, I see many plots becoming available.

But then come the complaints! People upset that they lost their house, even after the multiple warnings sent out. It'll be (rightfully) followed by others mocking their plight, but this raises the awareness to everyone else over losing the house, which will cause others to habitually use their house more often. Which is fine, really. Maybe they'll enjoy their house more now that they're 'forced' to do so. I suspect after this time, the only houses that will really free up are those belonging to people who have quit for good after 3.1, with FC houses belonging to medium sized companies and up almost never freeing up.

So mark your calendars and find a realtor near you!
