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.

When did they ever give a price on personal housing?

It was long before they were even implanted back when they were creating hype for it like they're now with apartments. Back then, in a live letter, they said that personal houses would be 800k and in their own separate wards. Neither of which happened.

I'm not sure that they did give that number. It was said that pricing between FC housing and Personal housing would be different with personal housing being more affordable (but still pricey). The specific number came from a number seen during a demonstration of housing features that was never stated as an accurate price, and was just kind of assumed by the community to be a price.

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

At the time they probabably intended that, but since then (over half a year later?) they must have changed their minds, maybe because of a technical reason that came up since they started on it.

Or maybe they're just planning on continually increasing that number from 90 up to 512 with each patch?

The PS3 cannot handle it.

You really need to stop throwing peanuts from the gallery.

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.

90 is a really odd number. Normally the numbers are various powers of 2. So you'd expect apartments per block to be one of 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, etc... 90 just doesn't fit in that pattern at all, it's a really odd number. I have a feeling this is related to a instancing limitation of some kind and the number of 90 must represent the high watermark for the current server capability to instance. Perhaps in future the number will be extended.

Can I own three rooms in three areas?

Can I own three rooms in three areas?

I'm pretty sure you're only able to own one room per character if it's anything like housing

Also, wasn't 512 chambers per building the number before? I am pretty sure I saw this multiple times from Live Letters and such

Says one apartment per character so no

SE should make apartments account wide.
You can only buy one apartment per account.
All your characters on that server can access the apartment.
New apartments in different areas can be bought but you lose the original apartment.

This will keep the supply and demand in check and stop players from buying an apartment for multiple characters, so more people have a shot at having an apartment.
