So like, houses were demolished and stuff. What was your experience?

[Cherie]

I was standing at the retainer bell near my personal house just hanging out and suddenly like 1/3 of the ward went poof'd. There were like maybe 12 houses up, including 2 larges I believe. They were all bought in less than 5 or so minutes.

I wanted to run up to some of the signs just to see what they would go for. I already had one so it's not like I was gonna snipe it, but if anyone was nearby, they bought it before I could get to the sign. :P If you bought one, what did it go for on your server? I asked one guy that bought a medium and he was nice enough to tell me and said it was about 33mil. Did houses really go for that cheap? It seems they aren't going up for their full original prices. It seems they are coming up at like maybe a depreciated price. I mean that's fine of course, just unexpected. Like I think originally a medium on my server was around 44mil when housing came out.

I'm rather surprised with all the sudden interest in housing lately. The only reason I even bought the house I did was like, I saw all these nice plots during 2.0 that were empty for like months (in a subward) and thought I'd work hard and earn enough to buy it. For like 2-3 weeks I kept all my retainers full with stuff to sell and eventually had enough. I demolished my smaller house I had (I was so sad! Hardest thing I've done in this game. ; ; ) The empty plot I was wanting was still empty so I spent like every dime I earned and got it. I was so happy! Now it seems that money isn't worth so much. Like I could go earn the amount I did in 2.0 in over 3 weeks in like maybe in a week if I worked hard.

How it works now is so surprising to me. During 2.0 I got used to seeing empty plots for months that no one would bother trying to buy. Now people hang out at plots to just see if they will go poof and hope for the best. Are there maybe more people playing than before or are like people just richer? I imagine what seemed like a lot of money during 2.0 is probably "chump change" now.

I really have always loved my house and hang out there most of the time I'm online while I chat with people and wait for roulette queues and stuff. I'm glad some people will get to enjoy that now too that didn't before. Congrats to new housing owners!

Prices have always been relisted at the depreciated values if the plot is abandoned outside of demolition, for what it's worth.

I wasn't around when the demolition happened, but I logged in a bit after. It looks like 5 or 6 opened up in my Ward, all of them were gone almost instantly except for one, and that one was gone shortly thereafter.

Log on to my main.
Check my neighbour's house which is slightly closer to the MB and in a better view, so I sort of want it.
It's NOT GONE.

I've wanted an house since they added personal housing but at the time I didn't have any money, when I got around to make enough Gil they were all sold.

I spent all day between family and jumping on FF to check houses... It was tiresome. ^^"

I bought a medium house in the goblet (ward 7, the medium close to the oasis/waterfall) for 20 mil Gil.
I really wanted this location. >_<

Feel free to come and say hi!





Edit: my house was 19mil + 1 mil permit.

I looked around at the free plots and was instantly dissapointed by the reality that my server still sells Mediums for 37 million even though we have one of the cheapest economies if not the cheapest.

I got my house on the spot and ward that I wanted.

The process however? Let's just keep it on sleepless nights and anxiety attacks.
Though what matters most to me is that I got my house. Which will be open to everyone!

So happy to hear you got your house Vell!
Hubby and I got ours, but wasn't plot 30 in Mist, someone beat me to it even though I'd been camping it for 14 hours. Luckily bf was outside second choice and I ring ported and bought that one instead, beat someone to it by about 10 seconds. Mist ward 8 plot 29 on Ragnarok (though currently closed due to renovations but visitors are welcome once it's opened up!). Got to put down both our retainers thankfully so my dream of our FFXI characters greeting visitors has been fulfilled at last! <3

Haha, that's exactly my spot but the "mirrored" version!
I have obtained my house in Mist Ward 5 - Subdivision, plot 59!
It is a lovely place with a lovely view. Congratulations though!

Neighboor stupidly ugly house was demolished, a FC member grabbed it. One more of us with a house and one hella of ugly, eye-damaging, grotesque thing was removed of this game.

Also got 3 more houses, will wait the next rush to sell them properly. 11/10 housing experience today.
