Multiple houses / account ....why?

[Nicobo]

...What do other players think about this topic? Personally I think one house / server should be more than enough. .__.

I think it is working as intended. Every character can buy a house, house is bind to per character but not account.
Logically, they have no wrong. I will blame the house is too cheap, nowday most ppl can buy it without considering it is worthy or not.
When ppl willing to pay ridiculous amount of gil to "buy" other's house, it is expected every character would buy a house if they could. ^^;

PS
Since SE introuduces the desynth with class restriction form 2.x, then the crafting specialist form 3.x..etc
They are actually encourage ppl to play on multiple characters!

Would also be nice if we had some sort of planting pots for personal housing and FC rooms. Wouldn't help those in fc's with no housing but might keep some from feeling the need to buy multiple houses just for gardening.

As soon as they allow us to share our house with all of our alts...AND let us MAIL our alts...then people won't be bothered to make personal FC's as often. Until then...

Also, sorry to double post (I'm on my phone using the mobile version with no edit button D but there really should also be a limit as to how few members an FC can have before being ineligible for housing. There's no reason an FC of only one or two players at most would even need a house when personal housing exists. It only allows players to essentially have two personal houses on the same character when plenty of real fc's out there would love to be able to take part in some of the gameplay options that are locked behind housing.

I agree with you on your first post but not on this one. My FC is made of only my boyfriend and I, and we decided to do so before personal housing was even considered. We bought our house as soon as we could, very proud of it to have managed a cottage in ward 2 before it got full really. Also we don't own any other houses and our alts are all in our FC, just with this house. I don't see the point of having more houses, when we have our lovely cute cottage. We payed around 10M to get it and are very happy in it. No way we would buy an extra one, we have personal rooms if we really want more.
So I agree on the point that it a house, at least personal, should be account based.
Also, good luck with demolitions, unactive players will be spammed with emails with notifications that their house will be demolished. They will just sub and use the house, and go away again.
They shouldn't even send a single email. Not active in the game for months? Your fault for not being there. Stuff happens, FC leaders get revoked, houses get demolished.

Snip.

Then they should give us an option to convert an FC house into a personal house, allow more gardening plots per house, or maybe there's a better way to do it than what I've come up with, but IMO players should not be allowed to horde houses this way by both having an FC house owned by a single member FC and a personal house on the same character. That just takes away from other players that don't currently have access to housing.

Going to be a bit brash and say that people with alts that own houses are being greedy.. folks should feel just as offended by them as they do with the non-playing people and those that are coming back on the free login campaign...

Them having an alt with a barren house with just gardens is lame too..
