Why no housing?

[Rashwyn]

This is certainly an ongoing issue, but keeps getting passed off as "because of limited server space" or "we are developing a new Ishgard ward." But with the amount of subscriptions, game purchases, and other transactions that take place, let alone the volume of players on each world, why is housing still an issue? There is no reason that housing should not be doubled for Ul'dah, Gridania, and Limsa Lominsa, nor the carrot continue to be dangled that "Ishgard wards are coming," but no timeline as to exactly when that will take place.

There are quite a few Free Companies that are completely screwed and cannot get an FC house/mansion, let alone individual, personal housing. As there are a number of adjustments made to the game to promote balance, why is there such an imbalance with these wards? I speak for a lot of frustrated players in asking for some real change to take place, which was surprisingly missed with "The Gears of Change" PLEASE ADD NEW WARDS ASAP!!!

They're aiming to add new wards in 3.3 (which is probably 2-3 months away, so around June?).

Ishgard wards are aimed for 3.4 (October?)

So far ishgard wont really be a ward... its a apartment system as far as SE has told us back in Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXVI Digest (01/12/2016)... Havent said anything about personal or fc houses being available in Ishgard, or apartments being available in the old wards... but it could change depending on how it all goes after 3.4

Wasn't there hearsay about wards being added in 3.2 as well? It's the "aiming" that I have an issue with. We certainly pay our dues with subs and additional content, what is the hold up on getting these added?

SE needs to add instanced housing, then let you plug into a plot if you buy one (and get unplugged rather than demolished when you're offline for too long). I mean, at this point, we're just joking around that anything else will actually work at this point. The demand is too high on several servers to EVER be met with additional wards.
