Do people not remember how it used to be anymore? I know that isn't the case anymore and every spot is filled 99.9% of the time. I guess that is how it should be. But why were there vacant spots all over the place for more than a year when the game came out? I bought one of the most expensive ones and I suck at making money... I noticed the houses were being bought up suddenly so I spent two weeks saving up enough gil from crafting/gathering sales for a large and just bought it.

I've love for everyone that wants one to be able to get a place of their own. I just don't understand why there were tons of vacant spots for nearly 2 years and like, over the span of two months, everything remaining got bought. The fact that people got interested and bought them is great though. I like seeing neighbors around. I like the housing wards to be active. I chat up people outside near my summoning bell as I craft and stuff. It's fun.
Do you remember personal housing being added, and prices being reduced? That's why.
