Did you get your house?

[HiroKirito]

I play on a low population server and our fc managed to get ours, granted we wanted mist plot 19 and ended up getting 20 but that's irrelevant. It was obviously owing to be an issue on high population servers, if a house is that important just migrate? The wards are all half empty here still

Well being on Balmung, I can say the majority of our FC's and Individuals wanted Housing for their RP characters.
So for them, simply just transferring out to a low pop server isn't a choice for them.

Yeah I can understand that but then housing isn't all that matters to them. Some people make out like without housing there is no point in playing. It sucks for people on the high population servers especially as the number of people flipping houses will be far greater than here

Reactivated my account for housing alone, and could not log in before going to work. I don't mean to sound pompous, but I can't take off from work for a game due to the nature of my career. I expect all the house plots to be gone by the time I am able to get home. If that's the case, I'll unsub again. Housing was the main thing I was interested in besides neo Nyzul Isle (which isn't until a half patch after this one or so), so I have very little interest in playing if I can't own a small house. Ultima Online a decade ago realized the problems with people owning multiple houses versus the demand for houses and fixed that; why is this still a thing?

For what it's worth, I'm not on Famfrit anymore as this is a character I don't play displayed on my profile.

More of just a friendly heads up really that low pop servers have loads stoll available of anyone's willing to migrate.

Leaving friends aside, you can't take all your gil with you, can you? You'd be at the mercy of buying stock on your server, transferring, and trying to resell to get gil back, wouldn't you? I guess technically you could probably look into buying the currency that sells directly for gil to NPCs for money laundering.

This is ok to you?

Actually, yeah, I'd say that's ok. Maybe not the most classy move on their part, But the problem is with players buying up multiple houses and then flipping them. With how prevalent flipping is, you can't really blame players who managed to grab their houses legitimately with the intent to use them as intended for being excited and happy to own a house.

The problem with this is by the time these people migrate their characters and level up a new FC these houses are bound to be gone as well.

On Malboro individual players are scooping up all the houses. It's so obvious they are resellers.

SE needs to re-think this housing system. Personal housing should not be sharing lots with FC housing.

My FC finally got a house in the Beds, and a friend of mine was able to purchase a small plot in the Mist. Our FC didn't get the house we wanted but we got our second choice/back up plot. I'm glad we were finally able to get one. I'm not sure if all have sold yet on Cactuar because I'm at work, but around an hour ago there were still some plots left in the Beds.

On Odin the competition for houses was way more fierce than during last Christmas! My queue was 400+ after a kick from the lobby server and a swift return. The best plots were gone before I could get there even though I spammed the login buttons as fast as I could. The rest were gone in 10 minutes. Thank Halone my game didn't crash and dump me at the back of the presumably massive queue...

Managed to get a medium in LB. I aimed for a lakeside house but after losing a race to two different plots I panicked and ported to a medium house on higher ground. It has excellent MB and summoning bell access at least. There's a flowing river nearby and you can hear the waterfall; quite a good view and location for the cheapest kind of medium plot.

My bf will add some stuff in the house when he has time and we're going to decorate it together. ^^ I find this arrangement much nicer than having two separate houses.
