Looks fabulous!

Each housing ward and it's subdivision will get a building, so 6480 apartment rooms in total.

Should be enough for most servers I'd say.
Except Balmung. But th housing problem on there is pretty much a lost cause, with the community being just as much at fault for it as SE is.

And remember, trying to sell houses for huge profit is reportable

Furthermore, players must have attained the rank of second lieutenant in the Maelstrom, the Order of the Twin Adder, or the Immortal Flames.

So, is the ability to rent a specific appartment tied to the affilation to the according GC or does having on of these ranks enable one to rent any appartment?

[Ashelia_Ferron]

No they're not tied to the GCs at all, just like normal housing isn't.

I'm kind of worried about this apartment thing. I really really really want one because I can't afford an estate or the upkeep and need a stable and aquarium (cause its so cool) but based off of the number of tenants allowed in each, are there going to be enough for everyone? Or is it going to be a race to grab one when this goes live?

We won't know until patch day. I'd say if you want an apartment in a specific ward (especially the first few) then you're probably going to want to be ready in the correct zone and prepared to spam those login attempts. If they do run out, we can only hope that square is on the ball with adding more apartments quickly.

Do we know where the 'vendors' for the purchase of an apartment are located?

It should be the middle npc at the back of the lobby (3:45-ish https://www.twitch.tv/finalfantasyxiv/v/89793998). There's a repair npc, the house npc (you want this one) and then a shop npc behind the counter.

Even though we already have housing, this issue still bothers me as we were stuck without housing for a good while.

1. Why is SE making the same mistakes by allowing people with housing to buy more housing? It should be:

• 1 House OR Apartment + FC/FC Room per account & per server.

2. 90? What happened to 512? Why did they advertise with a number they are not able to keep up?

3. Why not include it in the demolition? It's not like there will be an abundance with their newly calculated availability....

1. So why do they keep making the same mistakes over and over again? (people with house being able to get an apartment)
2. 90? What happened to 512? Why did they advertise with a number they are not able to keep up?
3. Why not include it in the demolition? It's not like there will be an abundance with their newly calculated availability....)

Because numbers they advertise with housing is always lied.

Remember when personal houses were suppose to be an affordable 800k and be in their own wards separate from FC housing? That never happened either.
