Please consider: Apartments to those that don't own a house first.

[Harlow]

It's really confusing as to how the dev team didn't foresee greed as a potential issue when it comes to this. What reason could they possibly have for allowing people with houses to buy up apartments too? I mean, like, with how badly they've been at thinking ahead while implementing housing up to this point I guess it's not surprising but still.

Yeah no, if you're on Balmung you're screwed either which way.
So I give up. Sorry, I can't be on at the brick of server dawn to catch a room.

@Atoli - No I'm on Balmung and have been for 2 years, 'alt' character.

But..you are on Faerie? :0
Which is such a low-pop server that even if everyone bought one there still would be plenty left :x


As for my plans: I have a house in Lavender Beds but still plan on getting one. And I'd be pretty mad if they locked house-owners out from it.
First of all, I have severe storage problems because all the furniture is already done for when SE releases Ishgard housing but because it keeps getting delayed/not talked about anymore, I need a place to store all that stuff.

Second, I really really miss Limsa since our FC moved away from there. So I'd like to be able to switch between Lavender Beds and Limsa whenever I feel like it.

Third, I honestly think I'll be using it more than most of the people who make a ruckus about house owners buying one right now. At least I have already shown I actually USE the housing I buy.

And last, my house could get auto-demolished at any point for some stupid reason (internet not working after moving, ending up in a hospital, payments getting messed up by the bank, etc. etc.). Apartments are here to stay, so I want a place I will definitely 100% keep even if something happens at some point.

Spekaing of whuch, why ARE the apartments exempt from auto-demolitions anyway? I'm certain that RL apartments preform evictions

[Ametrine]

The long and short of it seems to be that apartments are running off a different set of coding. Perhaps as a means to use the community space for them that's connected to all the rooms.

It would explain why home owners can still get them and why auto-demo is off.

Your signature is on point

I'll try to get one for a reason: Space. Too much furniture, not enough space to place it on my state and getting one more retainer on MogStation for that purpose is a no-no.

Sorry I did not get the idea behind your sentence ^^" (english not mother tongue it might be too sbtil for me ^^")

Mayba at some point, if they see it's too messed up they'll add the auto demolition instead / with new appartement or during the period they work on new addition.

[Aillith]

Yeah. Good point. You are!

Life happens and this means that someone may not be able to log in for 45 days. Its a very small window when you consider things like severe illness and/or hospitalisation; that moving houses will lead to loss of connection and many places take say it takes up to 30 days to reestablish; moving countries takes several months just for furniture to arrive, let alone worrying about a 45 day timer on a house.

But hey! They are just lazy!

Really - grow up. Life gets in the wayof gaming. As it should.

Well of course things can happen in life but, if you can't connect for several month, why do you need to prevent someone for having fun if you can't either ?
If housing was not a limited ressource it would not be a problem but, on the other hand, you don't enjoy your house AND other should not, it's a little bit selfish ( hard word but i don't know the less hard words for what i'm trying to say) :/
