Probably Cancelling My Subscription

[Insidion]

Same here. FFXIV was a family affair for us: three accounts. We scrimped and saved for every gil to try and get a place and got screwed by the queue. We've all since unsubbed. Losing money is probably the only way for this company to really finally address the situation. I wonder how many people unsubbed yesterday alone.

Likely not enough to impact overall profits significantly. Also should note that at the same time, people may have (re)subscribed, or are subscribing now for the first time during this debacle, thus shrinking the gap of actual loss of players. I do not think there has been a large scale MMO where people unsubscribing has forced the hand of a company as large as SE. Their profits span a multitude of IP's and titles. So all their eggs are not in one basket for profit, and as far as just the FF franchise goes, this is just one smidgen. I believe it's the eventual realization that the total population actually impacted by this housing crisis is much smaller than perceived. I don't recall this being HOUSING MMO ONLINE to begin with either.

honestly they could mitigate this by making apartments less of a half-measure even tho thats still not enough

EDIT: things that would accomplish this would include adding balconies so we can appreciate the scenery of where our apartment is. let us /share the apartment/ with friends or partners.

another thing square enix could do is provide an alternative to needing a house to do FC crafting stuff

they will do none of these things and at most implement three more wards someday

I agree that would help a lot.
Heck even an instanced roof top garden would be an improvement over this. The aparments are a joke. Its not that people want a house just because "ooo shiny" no we want the content locked behind it.

My husband and I will cancel ours if square doesn't make some kind of official announcement soon.
We expected it to be rough and that we might not get one despite saving up for so long. We didn't expect to have absolutely no chance thanks to login lottery

I'll have to agree with the unsubbers - SE pushed the housing like it was THE thing of the expension, when they new they were only releasing 720 plots per server with hundreds of thousands subscribed. As people have said, this is business - money talks. Short term they should be doubling all 4 wards as a matter of urgency. More long term they should be adding similar in other major ports. It's all possible - they need to take that subscription money and add as many servers as necessary to make sure their paying customers are properly serviced.
