The purpose of this topic is to discuss one possible solution to the housing situation in Final Fantasy XIV which is to introduce instanced housing.

Ever since housing was released there have been numerous topics about how SE should fix housing or that more houses should be added. Many community members have provided feedback on ways to help the current situation, ranging from limited housing to one per account to SE's own solution of housing demolition, but the suggestion of instanced housing seemed to be one aimed at solving the root of the problem.

Now unfortunately, we can't just say, "SE should just add instanced housing. Problem solved," because the issue is more complicated than that. Truthfully, I am not the most knowledgeable when it comes to how instanced housing works, but I have read that with the way the game's servers are written it would be very difficult or time consuming to implement something like this.

I hope to have a detailed discussion about instanced housing to raise awareness for players, explaining how it can or can't be integrated with the existing housing wards, and hopefully encourage SE to investigate how they could implement an improved housing system that allows all players and all Free Companies to have a house.
