Please explain this difference. 90 <> 512

[Niqote]

pleas dont whine before you make the math...
Planned were 3 houses with 512 appartments each, 1536 appartments in summery.
Now we will get 72 houses with 90 appartments each, 6480 appartments in summery.

It would be very nice if a Dev would clarify this.

It has been clarified as previous poster said.

Maybe they added gardens.

Could be that each building is capable of handling 512 apartments each but they're only starting at 90. Will have to wait and see if they scale up with demand.

Like someone already stated, they said they are adding a building in every ward and subdivision. So its not just 3 Buildings with 90 appartements each. Its way more

That only still equates to 6,480 apartments. More than two-thirds of Balmung won't be able to get an apartment.

Sadly, forums here don't understand that. Best bet for us it to constantly refresh and try to get on asap.

I just want an actual rp room. Is that hard to ask? T_T

tbh they have to either increase the wards for balmung or limit the characters per server. 6,480 appartments will be plenty for most of the other servers, outside of Balmung and Gilgamesh. And 6480 is still better than 1536 what we first assumend

Honestly, the only suggestion I'd make is apartments are account based. Meaning any character on that account can go to x apartment and use it once it's obtained, to prevent people from scooping up 8 apartments just cause they can.

Plans very often change during development.

Look at all of Yoshida's visions for housing that he communicated before it was launched. It was going to have so many more cool features than it does. But as development went on, they had to pull pieces out until they arrived at the stable form of housing we have now (I'm guessing because they had a small team, and the producers said "no" to some of those ideas).

Mind, I'm not saying I dislike housing; it's a really cool feature, and I really wish it was more accessible. I just recognize that it's not quite the vision that Yoshida communicated. It's why I tend to take details in his discussions of cool new features with a grain of salt. The heart of what he says rarely changes, but the details tend to.
