Petition for more wards / instanced housing

[x--ArchAngeL--x]

i had a fucking day when the wards went into sale. you why? when i heard the news on the date, i realized that i will still be in the office at the estimated completion time of the update therefore, i was forced to buy a pc version of the stormblood expansion just for me to have the chance to log in with my laptop which at the time i only have the a realm reborn version. it cost me already. after the getting the digital code, i realized that it still needs to be updated therefore, i was forced to update it for 1 day because it was freakin' 8gb! i managed that leaving my laptop almost on overnight. come the day of reckoning, my supposed 1pm meeting was moved to 4pm! could you imagine how perfect the timing was! i had no choice it was a client meeting a contract negotiation wherein if i will not attend, our company may probably lose my job... so my only hope was the meeting to finish by 5pm. alas! our client came 6pm!!! sooo amazing!!!

when i was presenting our offers, i really wanted to cry deep inside. of all the time in the world... i've waited for this, i invested so much... time, effort, blood, money... my whole self!!! so developers, i hope you are reading this message, can you imagine how painful is this psychologically? don't you imagine that yes, you may wash your hands out of this and get away easily because you know very well that we need your amazing game... in reality, all our burdens and pains just for these unfair setup of housing scheme are your making. so please, if i have to beg even personally, give us a different opportunity to own our house. i just realized that no matter how fucking hard i earn those gils and wait for the right moment, but a fucking day like mine would happen again, it will be just a cycle of forever frustration... can you bear that developers? do you really want us to suffer so much when we are paying and loyal to your games since the beginning...

i really wish you may consider any of the following:

1) propose a banking system or lot agent wherein we can invest our savings and in the event that there will be selling of lots, this will be automatically deducted from our investment
2) as a temporary measure, housing in instance is fine but in the event that there is a lot open you will be notified immediately since you have an investment already
3) loyalty considerations, i am a legacy player and until know all my earnings are not utilized for the housing because i always get this bad luck. thus, i hope you can give considerations that a certain lots are dedicated for loyal players

Signed. I’ve been playing since 1.0 alpha and I’ve still yet to get a house! I know they are limited but my PS4 my pc and my laptop couldn’t update because incorrect version which wouldn’t update. And then after the reinstall I had a massive que and I’m told by others who logged in that the whole server of plots had sold in 5 minutes!! I was not even allowed the chance to try and get a house. My issue is that the server can’t handle the congestion for everyone logging in to get a house and that there just aren’t enough. I thought with alll kuragane houses gone that other wards in mist or garden would come up but none! Should be one house per server!

Well the good news is i don't think this is completely going to waste , since a dev on the french forums has posted something.Whether or not this will do any thing is to be seen.

Just keep signing don't let up for a second let get are voices heard this time.

4) auction or reservation system, you can allot your money to a specific ward that has been occupied already hoping that the owner will soon leave. thus if you are first in the line, you will be prioritized or once the new lots are ready but not yet opened for selling, you may invest in advance as for of pre-selling. seriously, just to get a house, all my savings from alpha to the current version, i'm willing to put out just to own a house

that's all for now, i really hope you this will struct even just a bit... 'coz my hopes are really starting to fade already... how ironic isn't it? you are promoting us to be warriors of light but look what's happening with us because of this unbalance selling, darkness is taking over... thank you for all those who managed to read my plea...

A light at the end of the housing tunnel???

As stated above, French community rep posted a response. Square community rep, Kaposhipi, actually posted a response in the French forum to the French Petition for Housing reform:

“Bonjour à tous,

Merci de cette initiative. Comme vous pouvez le deviner, la situation est extrêmement tendue et nous comprenons la frustration de celles et ceux n'ayant pas pu obtenir de maison à Shirogane après tous ces mois d'attente. Les joueurs sont unanimes peu importe la région ou le serveur, et la réaction de la communauté dans son ensemble a été transmise à Naoki Yoshida avec la plus haute priorité.

Je vous demande un tout petit peu de patience avant qu'une annonce avec plus de détails soit faite.”

Google Translate:

“Hello everyone,

Thank you for this initiative. As you can guess, the situation is extremely tense and we understand the frustration of those who could not get home in Shirogane after all these months of waiting. Players are unanimous regardless of region or server, and the reaction of the community as a whole was passed on to Naoki Yoshida with the highest priority.

I ask you a little bit of patience before an announcement with more details is made.”

Wonder why NA isn't told anything to placate us? Probably because of all of the salt.....

Logged in at 6 minutes after server live and all plots gone in new area and old plots after transfers.

Signed, I logged on early, got booted out twice of the server after hitting 0 on the que, and second time 700 and then going into a never ending spiral of Error 1016 or whatever only to find out it was gone, I even had FFXIV on my SSD for this.
