How would the playerbase feel about buying a housing plot from the MogStation?

A lot of people would be willing to add $1 more to their subscription if they were guaranteed a house.

Just do what other MMOs that had limited housing does; put in the ability to sell them. Maybe a max of 170-200% of the initial purchase price or something. You're just making a black market where people can ask for 10x the price, otherwise.

...I'm already paying for retainers (non-issue, i'm a crafter) but...I don't like the idea of paying cash for something that others can buy with gil. what would i use gil on then? because i can't see too much that I would...mats? to...make things to make more gil?

No, they tout housing as a feature (I got a bright and joyous email at 4pm EST about new housing, almost made me wish it was a physical copy, so i could rip it up) and...well, we've all seen the technical issues that happened.

Make apartments an unlimited quantity, and adjust the size to be the same as a single floor of a medium house instead of a cottage. That way even the slowest of slowpokes can get their housing, and everyone else can keep their persistent luxury homes to ERP in. A win-win for everyone.

As a lot of players have been playing for years without getting a shot at getting a house (myself included) and as it is the cause for a lot of grief in the playerbase.

Why not make it possible to buy a housing plot from the MogStation?

Note: I'm not suggesting that people paying real life cash would get the existing plots, but that the funds coming from people purchasing a plot from the Mogstation could pay back the cost of making more wards and more server space and eventually overturn a good profit for SE.

I know it's more complicated than that, but why not capitalize on something that is in high demand? We don't mind paying for an in game wedding, why not an in game house?

Would these be permanently owned plots? Ones that you can't be evicted from, even if you unsub for a year? If not then lol no. If yes, then I would consider it

Why not make it possible to buy a housing plot from the MogStation?

The second they do this I cancel my account and never play this game again. To #$%% with more microtrans, it's bad enough as it is.

Intentionally leave housing broken to sell houses in the cash shop?

EA Games much?
