Housing salt

[Cellsplitter]

I'd wager that I was probably world first on launching the game as I could login a few seconds before the "maintenance" message got replaced by "online".

Of course the client crashed as soon as I hit "Start" and then I couldn't get the launcher to load. I ended up with a 900+ queue and when I got on all houses were taken.

Knowing SE I will never own a house in Shirogane, ever.

Thks to the "wonderful" server infrastructure, me and my fcmates got stucked with this:

So no house for us, thank you SE for this.

I missed out on Shirogane. It's frustrating - I have enough gil to purchase three large houses. I only desire one. I couldn't get a large. I couldn't get a medium. I panicked and ended up rushing to the Lavender Beds. I missed out on a few more houses before managing to secure a small one. I'm thankful, don't get me wrong - but the housing situation is a complete mess and I am baffled by the decision to introduce a moving feature that only further complicates the mad rush that occurs whenever new houses pop up.

Where do I buy house permits in shirogane?

[Dark-Saviour]

Auto-demolition being a thing, I've no desire to even buy a house, but that being said, it was obvious this was going to happen. :-/

As long as the current housing system exists, this is about the best you can expect.
They need to enhance the Apartment concept and give us access to instanced ranches/farms/whatever or people are going to keep hitting the same walls.
Being realistic though, SE is ever going to take the time or effort to truly revamp the system, so it's better for everyone to stop being hopeful that the housing situation is going to improve.

After saving up for a house for about a year i got on before my friends and it kept saying world data could not be obtained for so long that all of them logged in before me. when i got on all the houses were gone. Now every plot in every area; mist, lavender beds, goblet and shirogane are all sold and there isnt a single plot available in the game. Really good job SE..

You can't exactly enforce a rule against scalping when 3/4 of the PF is people volunteering 400% markups on housing.

[Talossar]

This is a FU U ALL from SE to their fans and players. This shit, the shame to see ppl purchashing houses to sell them for x10 their original price, and bring few houses for overpopulated servers..... SE: "Do you want a house? Go to one of our new empty servers! You won't be able to do anything on that server but you will be able to own a house!"

Most of the large plots on Jenova are presently owned by offline individuals with no estate constructed on the property. In other words: scalpers.
