Shirogane opening

[akaneakki]

Pretty sure she meant Omega the boss, not Omega the server.

Shit, hahaha! You are right !

My prediction is 4.1 or 4.15 when we get Shiogane opened up

I could swear I remember either a mention at Fan Fest or an interview or something that mentioned not before 4.1. But I can't find anything to back that up now.

My hope is that we see it open sooner than the next major patch--opening Shirogane would be a good tool for motivating people to finally transfer off of their congested servers. Right now, even in the lowest population servers, there aren't many plots left, and most of them are small. Actually opening new plots might finally convince a few people that the time is right to transfer for available housing.

Also, the fact that they teased it by opening it now means it's done and ready to go. If they made us wait multiple months for something already in place in the game, I would be pretty displeased.

I hope they add limitations on it finally, like not having logged in for 6 months, lose the plot and get 50% in gil back. people rush to get them just to have it and can never again log in boycotting active people.

But there are currently restrictions in place. If you don't access your house in (30?) days you lose it and get to reclaim your furniture and (80%?) of your gil spent on the land. Unless I am misunderstanding your post.

I am so glad I got a house in Gridania, I can sit out the house rush this time around. I am happy where I am at.

I'm hoping to get me a large plot at shiro though

Honestly, I hope they offer Free Company server transfers first. Leave the housing go for a few months, get the servers taken care of first.

Why bother wasting a ton of money on an FC house on a high-pop server when you could transfer?

Also, it's kinda of a d move to players on that high pop server.

I figure everyone and their FC gonna make a dash for the housing plots on that same day.

My FC agrees to let me have the old mist plot if we manage to move to Kugane. But that is too much risk. They have to get the big plot and I have to get into mist in time.

I stalked housing boards for two-three weeks and got a mid for myself.

Seriously, check housing boards every hour if you can. I have personally spotted at least 6 small plots and 1 large plot. Some of these went unsold for over an hour! Hell, I relinquished my small plot and bought a mid one. And I stood around for half an hour while my FC buddy came online to buy my old plot.

Before you say "dead server", I'm on Behemoth.

It has been easy to get a house on Behemoth - you are correct in just need to stalk the boards every hour...I've owned several over time in different places. I just relinquished this characters Mists medium to prep for Shiro rush...I wanted my gil back (rather than losing it moving) especially since it was more than the plot was currently worth.
