House limit

[LadyKairi]

You ha a to be level 50 and max GC rank to buy a house. Level 1 Alts can't.

THANK YOU. I see lots of people saying level 1 alt's are buying properties, when it's impossible for them to. In case you people forget, you have to be at LEAST level 50 and like max rank in your GC in order to purchase a plot of land (same for apartments and fc rooms).

I think it might be possible to start a FC and purchase a lot, then invite a lvl 1 alt and then transfer the FC to the alt. That is what people are talking about.

Yes that is possible. They'd still need to level the free company to at least rank 6 though which still takes quite a bit of work, especially if trying to do it multiple times for multiple houses.

Not enough of a deterrent, at least in my opinion. I've been haunting the wards for months trying to get my FC a house and since the patch have been running to check them dang near every time my Return is off cooldown. Going through all that makes it incredibly disheartening to realize there is an FC on my world that owns at least 12 houses, that I know of. Almost all of which are standing empty.

Can I mention... I found an abandoned large today. On a more populated server... so obviously the OP isn't trying hard enough to find a house.

Just wondering if you actually read the OP by any chance?

I already have one that I share with two houseless friends

Also, I don't really understand why some people seem to think along the lines of 'Oh, I saw a house for sale on X server so that must mean that anyone can find a house if they want to.'
Unless someone is literally doing nothing but teleporting from capitol to capitol non-stop, there is no guarantee you will catch a house for sale if one does open up.

It all depends on your price range (not everyone can afford a mansion,) how often you play, what times you are online, how often you stop to check, and ultimately just plain old luck being the final and most influential deciding factor. You can increase your chances by checking more, but even on my server which is relatively low population and my checking dozens of times a day, I've yet to even see a single plot of any size or location for sale.

First of all, you only have to tele to every capital every hour, I find the houses drop exactly on the hour. You do not have to tele from capital to capital nonstop. I find that more than reasonable. You get in what you put out. I've also had a friend find an abandoned small, which was prior to me finding the abandoned large.

So, moral of the story, work smarter, and harder.

Sorry if I came off as defensive, but that's exactly what I feel right now.

Truth! It's like a mini game! A really annoying one but nothing will replace that rush when you find one after looking for what seems forever.

Reminds me of camping NM's in XI. Limited availability, people camping in what was like an hour spawn time. Never heard any complaining about that. Must have been a different breed.

Across the street from me there are 2 houses that have set empty for 2-3 months. I am sure the owners are waiting to try and sell at a huge profit, no other reason to let them set with no decos at all, not even anything on the sign. Talk about waste, there it is.

I would add, regarding the resell of plot, that GM won't take any action unless "the intention from the begining was to resell it", confirmed by a GM the other day when i filled 2 report in a week regarding the same player trying to resell his plot in PF.
Sooooooooo you can buy a plot just for resell as long as you tell the GM that contact you "but, I did not intend to seel it from the begining" cause, as everyone knows, people never lie whan they do something forbiden :/
