About the Apartments...

[Rita1989]

Got one on Balmung guessing the GC restriction was the reason they are not sold out yet

[Chiapet]

I just realized.. Square forgot to put a mailbox at the apartments... lol

[Laerune]

Glad I got mine, that is one less thing to worry about.

[Vaeria]

Got mine in Uldah so now have a place to crash in all 3 GC areas The real question however....what to do when apartments/housing comes out for Ishgard.... Demolish apartment the day before said patch? Aaaah..the ratrace ever continues...

The apartments are basically a non-FC personal room that's more expensive. That's it. Nothing special in my opinion. I don't see an advantage of having one if you don't already have a FC room.

Furniture storage. (Free up retainer space.)

immune from demolition or fc members kicking you out

today, it is very very easy to make 500K. It really is. There are so many ways to make 500K that the ways are almost endless. Now, when the game FIRST came out yeah it was a little difficult to make that. But today, it's not that hard.

You can always be a gatherer. You can make that in one day....on a bad day

[Kaurie]

Haven't looked much into it. Is it 500 apartments per building per ward per city per server? If so, that is way more than the current playerbase, isn't it?

There are something around ~3k-4k people on my server. That's 500 x 12 x 3 = 18k apartments. Even at 90 per building, that is almost everyone.

Yoshida said not to worry about the 90 apartment limitation, as there is no "actual" limitation, unlike housing, because the game will add more apartments, if they all get filled up. This will be done infinitely to match the demand from the player base.

Well, not infinitely. He said the real limit is at more than 500 (so presumably 512) per apartment building. But multiplied by the 72 apartment buildings now (plus likely more once Ishgard housing is added), it should be more than enough to last quite a while, even on high population servers.

He also brought up that having the initial limits lower (starting at 90, then opening more of them as needed) is just a way of getting players to spread out more evenly across the different wards, rather than a real limitation in the number of apartments available.
