Instanced "independant" housing

[EthanParcival]

When will we get Independantly Instanced Housing (to bypass the painful insufficiency of the housing wards)?

I'd vote for moghomes, be that for personal or FC houses, that will look like this!



That way we all get our home if our home is in an island isolated from everyone elses.

Come on SE, you can do it!

When I saw this cutscene I had the same idea, where my immediate thought was "Why can't we have this for housing? This better be the future of private housing I swear to gawd."

Not sure about personal houses, it nullifies the MMO in the MMORPG when it's just you in an instance, but that sound like a nice idea for FC housing. An instance were other members can build their personal houses next to the FC's. I don't like the setting very much though, not a big fan of the idea of living in the sky.

Still rooting for a version of personal chambers we can access from Moh Dhona or Idyllshire, personally.

I dont get this. What is the point of housing, when you are the only who can see it, only one who can visit, and you are totally alone? You might as well keep staying at inns. Most of the original appeal to player housing was that it was part of a neighborhood, a community. I agree that it would alleviate the problem, but I don't think it would be very enjoyable for most. I know I really want my own house, but if it comes down to this, then I will definitely pass and not even waste my time/gil. Surely, I cant be the only one who feels this way....

Honestly, if they instanced FC neighborhoods it would help a lot. Say a FC wants to buy a township; they buy the area and members of the fc pay a smaller price for land within that neighborhood. That way if people don't /want/ to live in a neighborhood with their fc, they can still get a personal home in the current neighborhoods. But each individual FC has their own instanced neighborhood to use. Personally, I'd give up my personal home immediately if that was the case. But I'm not too sure how feasible that idea is, so I have no idea how to help. I love the neighborhoods, though, so I'm not too fond of the idea of individual instanced housing. We just need SE to give the wards to be bustling hubs of activity again.

I'd like instance housing in Sea of Clouds, if only so that way if it can also be taken away, they can just say it was because Bismark ate the island your house was on and you weren't there to defend it.

The housing wards are insufficient because Squeenix don't have enough servers, or servers capable of running more (at this time...). Can you imagine the drain having something like this running? It would likely make the issue worse

Then it needs to be designed better for future housing.

If the current system is as bad as it is, then more of the same isn't going to resolve the matter.

But FFXI had instanced houses, right?

It can't be THAT bad to make it happen... right?!
