"Each apartment building can house up to 90 tenants"

Shouldn't it be 512?

with all the wards and sub division it'll be about 6,000 apartments so that's good enough in my book

Maybe on smaller servers but for places like Balmung all the actual houses and the apartments combined together doesn't even met half the population of the server. I have heard balmung has like 30,000 characters and even if you cut that down to say 20,000 that previous statement would still hold true cause all the housing and apartments combined together will only be around 8000 spots.

not exact math

Indeed, that was the first thing that caught my eye. All the information we'd been given til now said 512, including official statements (unless I am somehow remembering wrong). With 90 per ward/subdivision that only adds about 6500 apartments to each server, not nearly as many as we were led to believe.

If it's only 90 per building, then I think we need a big fat community PSA strongly urging present owners of homes to leave the apartments for those without a house already. I mean, come on guys be fair. With only 6,480 per server instead of the original estimate (based on 512 per block) of 36,864 apartments, those without a home really need to be given priority.

Present home owners in Eorzea, please do not purchase an apartment during the 1st week of their availability at least. Give others a chance of owning their own space please.

I don't want to be mean at all and sorry if I sound like (english not my mother tongue :/) but do you really consider the idea that players will be fair and give those without a house a chance at having an appartement ? In THIS game ?
I mean, where were you the last time they add new houses ?
Of cours, just like you I hope some of us will be civilized enougth and won't act as *** but....I mean come on we all saw the Pfs ans the reddit threads :/
This community is so toxic and selfish some FC have more than 10 houses for re-selling at outrageous prices, how can someone think they will be fair ? :/

(Again, don't want to bee mean to you at all, i swear ^^")

Hey, I was up all night at the last significant housing update so I could purchase a home, I'm aware of the land-rush that happens. I'm not under the illusion that this community will suddenly become all civil and give others a chance, but if some do, won't that help? If we stop trying to improve the community, are we not contributing to it's demise?

90 per ward? Then it'd be much more than 512 but of course when they said 512 that kind of thing is always subject to change...

and lol @ "Furthermore, it is possible to own both an estate and an apartment."...gonna be so many complaints.

[FinaSel]

I kind of like the look of all of them.
I've always wanted a house in the Lavender Beds.

But, I use the FC house and I have a shared estate with a friend. And I'm always out adventuring anyway. I feel like I'd never even go to my house or apartment if I had one.

There are two of three plots in Lavender Beds that I really like though. Unless they magically open up, I won't be getting anything.

[Ageofwar]

unless my maths is wrong with 90 aprtments over 13 wards and the sub-wards over 3 areas thats about 7,000 apartments per server.

on the less populated servers that is fine but on balmung that is likely to be eaten up in under 20 mins of the servers coming up
